arakkonam crossing...

into tamil nadu...

would meet kanimozhi, if my schedule permits...

now at thiruthani...

arookaraa...

puttur crossed... place where people used to go after fights...

to get their bones attached...

crossed renigunta & tirupati... yet to enter tamil nadu... during state segregations, had they agreed on trading tirupati with madras, i would have already in Tamil Nadu...

yes, i agree; II AC comparment girls/ladies are more beautiful than III AC compartment girls/ladies...

but frankly; even more beautiful are Sleeper Class compartment girls/ladies...

(didn't had time to check General compartment)

after these biscuit thief ventures in long distance trains, our good old tradition of sharing food in train has become a rare practise...

everyone suspects a biscuit holder; more if he is willing to share...

this time i got 3 original ID cards for train ticket verification...

TTR asked for none...

the pune family have cleared 3 of their 14 luggages... It consisted of naasta, dinner, khaana, fruits, snacks, biscuits, wafers, etc...

a family of 3 boarded at pune... i thought them to be 'packers & movers'... after settling every luggage, they turned out to be our co-passengers...

(around 14 luggages in total...)

11 days & 10 nights in travel... Of which 5 nights in train...
