I am writing this one while lying in the upper birth in the train, will post it as soon as I get connectivity. I am traveling to Lucknow for around 10 days, Last time I went for Diwali.
I am taking my bike also with me, which is loaded in the third coach behind my coach. Transferring two-wheelers through Indian Railways is cheapest and safest mode. But as usual you have to pay some to packing fellow, person who will load and unload, may be RPF, but even after all this it will be lesser than courier costs.
When i booked my ticket, it was in RAC but it got confirmed and upper birth was allotted. Everybody around me is going to Lucknow.
There are some (proud) parents whose children are working in Bangalore, they are returning after visiting them, talking about Bangalore's life, how inflation is increasing, then there is one uncle who is very happy and its no less than a achievement for him that his ticket got confirmed, he cant stop talking about it like how Railway ticketing system works, lot of things were new to me ;). Then there is one aunt whose (i think) daughter got through some company in Bangalore and she is describing all the details of the corporate and how things work, Its always good to hear a different, funny and layman view on these things. The train got late by almost 4 hours in Bangalore itself, but now its running late by an hour, so it has made up a lot.
I am hoping a good weather in Lucknow, a friend's wedding is there on 7th Feb. This time while I will be returning via Delhi. Planning to catch with some friends, that will be a lot of fun.
