A drama unfolds near HMT factory, Bangalore. A fully loaded Naphtha rake, headed by Kalyan WDG 3A twins negotiates the points and powers its way to the Yeshwantuper-Tumkur main line. A WDG 4 hauled BCNA rake is made to wait to let the naphtha rake cross. The Kalyan twins are in full musical "cry" and you can see people watching the drama and enjoying music from the bridge

Hey all,
Just back from my sudden surprise trip to Hyderabad, It was quite eventful, want to share it will you all, here it Goes..
PART-1
It was 14:00 Hrs,I was still in office at Hosur when i realized i couldn’t go ahead with Admin Tejas's advice of traveling by Basava Exp till GTL to board S4, 4 of MS-KCG Exp at Gooty....

I was left with one option of traveling by Karnataka Exp till GY and catch KCG express. I reached SBC by 17:10 and considered traveling by SBC-KCG Express in General as i was quite early, the irony being i was headed to the same destination after breaking journey though. Nevertheless i didn’t want to sacrifice my sleep as i had work to do the next day and above all a reservation in MS-KCG exp. The queue was very long at the JTBS counter before SBC, and i headed to UTS counter trusting the experience of Railway staff over JTBS guys, stood in the shortest line BESIDE counter#2 and was thrown out along with a few others by our neighbors stating that we started a duplicate line. Anguished, I rushed to the JTBS counter again and took the General SF ticket to GY, the route printed was via CSDR-SSPN-DMM much to my horror. By the time I reached GEN coaches, they were packed, not packed enough to not accommodate people but enough to make the trip uncomfortable. Spoke to the TTE and was given S8, 31 upon collection of 90/-, he didn’t notice or ignored the SSPN in my ticket to my relief. Train left right time from SBC and a man joined my opposite seat by taking the Extra fare ticket like me and he was supposed to go to Dhone, most of the seats in that compartment were to be boarded from GY and KRNT, My co-passenger dearest gave me a sweet and rather a seductive look(or atleast I felt so, instantly felt bad for my perverted mind though, he must have been a normal young gentleman afterall).I thought a detailed write up like this is required for the exciting, tiring and lengthy night I spent at GY. Final part coming next, thanks for reading…
P.S: A hearty thanks to Tejas.
