More on Mumbai-Bangalore-Mumbai


Travelled to and fro in buses - and as earlier said; had a serious problem while coming back !
But all is well that ends well :-)

The most notable point about these travels was perhaps the movies that I watched - apart from the really long distance sitting in the bus.
Here is a list - Dhamaal, Thank You, 3 idiots, BodyGuard, Singham, Double Dhamaal and probably one more half film...

Coincidentally, the journey started with Dhamaal and ended with Double Dhamaal :-D :-D

And perhaps more striking was the Overdose of Superheroism in the return journey - Bodyguard and Singham back to back !!
One had an unrealistically realistic climax, and another had a realistically impossible happy ending !
Lesson learnt - Travel in VRL to watch well known films in good quality, Travel in National Travels to watch the newest films, of not so great quality!

Had a glimpse of Chitradurga while going during the lunch break..
Should visit the fort sometime in life..

While coming back - came across a hotel with a peculiar but suited name - Hotel Park( no available pics to post :D)
An old and dilapidated hotel that is(or should I say was..) based on a park theme; but now is just yet another road side dhaba - with all the park-like environment rusting away; and reason unknown !

And I just got pro-Metro for Bangalore; after travelling back to IITB campus - took me 20 minutes to reach from Sion(alighting station for tourist buses) to Kanjurmarg(nearest local train station to IIT) by local train - distance of over 12 kms; but 40 minutes to reach campus gate from there - distance only 2km !!

And a final saga - dont know whether this is typical of IIT, or I was just crazy - but went and sat rightaway for the NetSec class after I stepped in, instead of going to my room a.k.a Kottige :D
