Of travel, rain and pav bhajis



Hyderabad -> Pune -> Panvel -> Colaba -> Dadar -> Pune -> Hinjewadi -> Pune -> Panvel -> Pune -> Hinjewadi -> Pune -> Hyderabad.

1. Hyderabad -> Pune
Found out that chicken could indeed taste so bad, and yet cost a lot.

2. Pune -> Panvel
Expressway. Reached 2 hours earlier than expected.
Wow, now I'll have to wait 5 hours for the train to reach.
"What is the status of Netravathi Express?"
"We have no information. The train is missing."

Stupid rain.

3. Colaba
What a place!! Amazing!! Superb!!
"You see those flats over there"
"Those oval shaped ones? Yeah.."
"Each cost around 32-45.."
"Reasonable.."
"...crores."
"Ohh!! I see.."


Fish curry and beef!! While I am hogging away oblivious to all the stunned faces around me..
"You seems to be really hungry."
"Yeah.. Didnt have lunch."


4. Dadar to Pune
More of express highway!! Hills, mist, rain, waterfalls..
"I thought we were on a sight seeing trip!"

5. Pune
Bad roads + Rain = Dirty

6. Panvel to Pune
That's easy. Walk to the edge of expressway and flag down a bus of your choice. It's raining, alright. Watched Dus.. Again.

7. Pune to Hyderabad
APSTRC bus.. late.. more waiting.. yeah, it's still raining..
TV not working
Thank God. Finally some ZZZZ...

Oh yeah, ate lots of pav bhajis too :-)
