Besides planning your train/bus tickets properly while you're on your South India trip, I personally feel that postcard browsing on 1st postcard selling boy approaching you (of course got to be after you settle for your lodging) is not necessary a bad idea.

I happened to travel with a very seasoned backpacking and well planning travel mate with almost 80% planned out before we're arriving at the destination. Postcard browsing will help you to complete the remaining 20% (if not more) when you're in that particular town.

Most postcard sellers will carry localized and specific postcards around the location (say 100-200KM radius) and you'll get to spot some "must see"s impromptu and also pick up some great photographic themes and they are most likely to be your most memorable thing for that town/location.

This is especially true for traveling in a subcontinent like India where missing a particular spot may means that you may miss it forever. Please do not get me wrong that India is a bad place to travel. India does not get the "Incredible India" as the travel slogan for no reason. It's a beautiful country, but other factors such as air pollution, difficulty for arrange for train tickets and such will deter you from returning to India just to complete what you've just missed in your previous trip.

So, get the most out of that single trip. If you really like certain postcards, you may help the postcard boy financially but do remember to strike the best deal for those cards.
