It was in the summer of 2008 for PS I(or so called training in conventional terms). Reason being because my closest buddies of college choosing there training centre in IGCAR , Kalpakkam(a name which i cant able to pronunce even after my train ing finished!!!). Not stressing further on this first trip, (because title itself saying this article is smt abt v2.0) so i would just say that this is the place whr i saw fall season first time in my life, hair fall...:(... so first trip is not a good experience for me...
This time i visited this city due to official work (that too my first official visit...:P). initially i feared a lot n/c of my previous expereince....but...
Tickets are of 2AC in durunto while heading towards chennai and in rajdhani while cmg back to square one...
CHENNAI - DELHI :- Initally itself train was 1hr and 10 min. late...finially it departs at sharp 5 o clock....WOOOO... Wht a train...lower seat with enormus space. got kambal, sheet, towel, 2 water bottles of rail neer...Train picking up speed and i m in awe by seeing every particle of the train. At 6, got snacks(mind it.. free ka :P) which includes sandwich, samosa ,sweet of haldiram. Then i thought lets do some work. So i started writing my diary (which is supposed to be write on every day , but i used to write it in bulk). By this time there is no use to see out side b/c night had engulfed the surrounings completely.By 7, i got bread stick with anul butter and tomato suop(which i refused to drink..even though it is free, i m pretty generous..:P). So 1st station came after 2hr and 30 min...Its agra, but train is durunto so i bid gud bye from inside itself..:) .Now around at 8pm got veg food. its face itself is saying that Indian rail changed a lot.Menu is same as its prevailed in whole country i.e. roti, dal , paner,Rice, and salad. Then for ice cream lovers its also thr. Just i finished the food, i get abt to know that i took my food in MP as train touched periphery of gwalior. its 8.30 now , then i thought to had a stroll in train ..(u know y..:P)..
i found pretty interesting things..
1. Youngistan mostly hearing songs or reading novels, on lappy, or talking among themselves
2. ladies .. same work jo ki ramayan kaal sae chall aa raha hai .. gappae
3. purush: gappae or sitting idle.
4. most interesting now....newly wed couples...games like that of poker , or sinking in each other talking.
just then train took stop at jhasi, i got amazed y..but i got then that it is place whr driver changed..after 10 min of halt.. it ran again , then i got info that bhopal is 4 hr from now means at 2 AM.. but i m sleeping at that time .
so on very next daytrain took halt at nagpur for taking breakfast and newspaper. before that at 6.15 tea and coffee was offered. got newspaper and breakfast at 8.15, which was of very good standard. next day when i roam in whole train i found that most of the persons are still sleeping till 11 in morning. then train took 2 more stops at warangal and vijaywadaso. got snacks n dinner also in train.
It reached at chennai central on 9.45. Chennai greated me with stinky smell of fishes alongwith 3 beautiful faces...:P. i noted it down , let c the this is a good or bad omen... :D.. chennai weather was so awesome at that time , i cant able to imagine that. cool breeze is flowing, no humidity at all. while roaming on road , i m feeling ki just be thr, n take the feel of cool cool breeze. then i headed towards the asia's largest bus terminal, CMBT. in front of them i got fainted by seeing the size of hotel.. oh my god i m gng to live in here for next 3 days... wooooo!!!!...awesome furnishing , flat tv screen, 12 feet thick gaadda.. light razzai and pillow on which just put head n u ll get asleep even faster than speed of light. calling room service man , at reception in itself a tashan...!!!! then took dinner at 11... my lord 16 dishes, 6 sweets, 2 cakes, 2 icecreams, +roti in chennai... feeling like a bada aadmi... OOOO...just open the pardha of window and finding the soothing sunrays in morning. On 5 th floor its looking a scenic picture having hundreads of mobile towers... ao 3 days went like that in roaming o differetn areas and meeting with friend, and so i can say v2.0 is not bad at all...
:)
cheers...!!!!
