So, here is the travelogue of my another journey of South India, from Chennai Central to Kumta. As you all know we had gone for a friend's marriage reception to Chennai, I had made some plans to visit some places in South India viz RMM, MDU, CAPE etc. I enquired my RF frnds from South like Mr SG Prasad, Ajay Krish and all. They told me the details, but even at that time, I wasn't sure, If I would go or not. As the days passed by I was getting more and more confused. But finally after a small discussion with my parents, I got the green signal to go. They would not had stopped me, but I knew it was my duty to ask them beforehand. Anyways I booked the tkt in TN and then informed them and to my south frnds. I came to know they too are making...

a plan to Konkan Route. I was too much fascinated as I had seen some fantastic views and videos of the same on YouTube. I also told them about my plan as to what places I wanted to visit. They said, on my next visit I can see them. I was a little disheartened, but the joy to see the beauty of Konkan was also there. I was in a total dilemma, but later on I thought, I would surely go to other places next time. So I decided to go with them. We planned for Kaveri Express till Bangalore and then YPR KWR Express to Kumta. We had booked a resort by the seaside, and had plans of visitng the Shravthi River and other sceneries. Some of the tickets were booked in Kaveri Express while me and other few kept our tkt on hold as there were very few seats left, so I thought let it enter RAC or WL so that atleast we get a SLB for RFing purposes.
.
Stay Tuned for more excitements as there are several twists and turns
PS - The train name isn't being added as it would disclose the adventure.

So, the plan was going on as scheduled with various plans as to which places to visit and all, but just few days before our departure from Chennai probably in the 1st week, came a heart breaking news. KR had taken up doubling work near Thokur and other areas and as a result, the KWR express wont go upto Kumta and would be short terminated due to yard remodelling and Interlocking near Thokur. Simultaneously the plan for Kaveri Express also cancelled. So, Kohilan Sir and Navin Sir worked out an alternate way. They planned we would board 12601 Mangalore Mail, popularly known as One Mail. While they would come by 16855 i.e. PDY MAQ Weekly Express. And after that we shall take another train of the KR route whichever would be available. Honestly I wasn't ready for the plan, but it was a blessing in disguise. It let me see the...

most beautiful city I have ever seen in my life. Mangalore. Though we returned and explored Mangalore in the return journey, but if the block wouldn't had been there, I would not had got a chance to see the city. We booked our tickets in 3A of MAQ Mail, sch to depart on 26th. We had to attend the reception too on that day. Added to this, it rained also on the same day in the evening which made our commutation a bit difficult.
.
1st shots which show a glimpse of the journey would be released soon.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
