The Ride from Udhagamandalam To Coimbatore

The Ride from Udhagamandalam To Coimbatore

Having stayed in Udhagamandalam for six days, it was time to leave this city having had the intensity to explore back and forth, the city abutting Kodanadu View Point where AQI of 20 it quietly holds. AQI of 20 and sitting pretty holds promise for a province  that knows how to get out of situations that are tense. Have had the honour of visiting Lord Murugan Temple and Goddess Mariamman Temple in the heart of the city with these two spots holding good number of devotees from as early as '80s.  Leave Hotel Green Valley at 12.32 with host Mr Kiran hailing from Kasaragod in Kerala as ever cheerful, this meeting of mind coming after eight years with no fears. Mr Kiran is large hearted and a man of principle, and his entire staff going by the names Mr Ishant, Mr Aditya, Mr Shakeel, Mr Najeed won't at any point of time turn rebel. Automan Mr Ramesh drops me at Udhagamandalam bus station. Board bus with Kerala number KL 15 A 2987 with all likelihood this ride may mean some may have to sport turban. Go past Hotel mountain view, go past Milky Mist store, go past Aavin Junction, go past Chennai Silks store where rumours at no point of time should get the added floor. At 1.10 Coimbatore is 83 kms, and this noted by those who report for news agency Reuters. The commute is flanked by Board of Ooty The Queen Of Hills. Thank You And Visit Again in a nation where there has been no press conference in a decade in lane. At 1.21 reach Yellanhalli, and as one went past Beijing Bites one reached Aravankadu with no tales to hide. This was followed by Coonoor where enquiries were made about Venkateswara Lodge in 2018 when in proximity were those in sweet 16. From here Madurai is 285 kms giving no jitters. 

Reminders All Along

Reminders all along: Never overtake at curves. Few moments later pass through Nandagopal bridge. At 2.12 reach Puddukkadu. From here Coimbatore 50 kms. At 2.30 go past Kollar Forest Check post. There are so many curves on the way it takes a toll on your happiness quotient irrespective of those garnering share dividend. You can't keep away from this thought that on this stretch taxi ride should be tried, and this would be a welcome ride. Reach Mettupalayam at 2.30 and stop at Dhanam Mess and leave from here at 3.03 in the face of understanding on Sir Creek. From here Salem 63, Erode 104, and reach Mettupalayam bus stand when most hamlets on rumours shut door. When Coimbatore (CBE) is shown to be 32 kms, and from here flyovers galore which though not wide is happy spot for even those commuters with budget tight. Here Thoughts on Ajmer Dargah. At 3.40 Madurai 255 kms with news not looking to be latest on climate that some detest. Few minutes later Cochin 194, Alappuzha 204, and reach Gandhipuram bus stand at 4.25 with some suggesting vehicles need to stick to lane drive. Take auto at 4.32 with Mr Silvaraj at the helm with Nanjappa road looking to be in bad shape, and Madras Bangalore road broad, and more would like to ape. Take room number 76 in Haripriya Lodge opposite station where people come on vacation.

Coimbatore Automan Mr Mohammad Amrish Disciplined

With Automan Mr Mohammad Amrish taking me to S K Decoration at 898, Raja Street, Near Five Corner Coimbatore 641001 to get pen and register with this gentleman looking to be most disciplined, and this statement of facts to be made again and again by visitors. In Udhagamandalam in Net Technologies there was one Mr Chandra Sekhar who was quite cooperative and affable, and hope all through he has visitors who maintain long distance travel. ootynetcity@gmail.com

As for next destination, I took ticket of Sabari SF Express from Coimbatore to Tirupati. Hoping to be with Lord Venkateswara Of Tirumala.

Visiting Boat House

Boat House was on my itinerary. As the ticket is priced Rs 25, they insist on online payment,and as one goes past entrance gate there are destinations as varied as Chennai, Madurai, Dhanushkodi waiting to be explored in a province that has stayed still witness to no uproar. Perhaps one could take time out to visit these places provided one is not down with body pain, cold and cough. Being in pink of health should be of prime consideration in a nation where lessons are to be taken in aviation. As one collects popcorn (9942969473), innumerable boats on lake with pedal boats on left, row boats right, and here there are characters whose credentials are upright. Reminders come back and forth to smile as you are on CCTV where one need not furnish their CV. Reminders on Selfie prohibited while on boat. Boat not allowed to be used without life jacket in a nation where PRESS Freedom comes with caveat. Here there are people from Kerala, West Bengal, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh with odd or two coming from Delhi where temperatures and AQI can't keep a neat tally.  Here I meet Me Rupak. Based in Chennai and working for pharmaceutical company hailing from Kolkata in West Bengal which should not see much of a brawl. 

Chocolate on offer in Ooty goodies store In Boat House

- roasted pista

- miky fruits and nuts

- nut milk

- roasted almonds

- white almonds

- roasted cashews

- chocolate beds

- fruit and nuts

- bitter nuts

- chocolate chips

- caramel chips

- caramilk

- emuli chocolates

- choconutties

As Madam Mary is at the counter, the filter coffee from a store nearby is good. Hunger pangs get me to take South Indian meals from Lake Side eatery where the staff is courteous, and who don't carry the narrative largely nebulous.  As one comes out there is a jeep TN 73 AN 7169 having name of Madam Shabana Azmi. While taking a walk back to North Lake Road I came across Mr Thomson of Reflections (9047137356) lodge where enquiries about room tariff could bring one in contact with City Sheriff. This visit to Boat House was believed to reignite commitment that environment issues would get due weightage in The Nilgiris which is home to adventures and people willing to cross century club as it is affable climate hub.

Taking A Bus From Udhagamandalam To Thalaikundha, Going to Kodappamund High Hill Tea, Train Ride To Coonoor

Taking A Bus From Udhagamandalam To Thalaikundha, Going To Kodappamund High Hill Tea, Train Ride To Coonoor 

As I reached Udhagamandalam on a Sunday, thoughts were all about preparations I had to undertake before I set on a South India Voyage which welcome visitors from as far distant as Hong Kong who have gained benefits of JC JoyAge.  The day I am supposed to leave for South (July One) seven days prior to that I had stopped taking milk to keep tummy in shape as one never knows from which quarter there would be trouble wave. Thousand issues criss-cross your mind while mapping out an itinerary as irresistible has been the invite from South since July 1995 when India in world theatre was quite loud. Once in Udhagamandalam, frenetic was the search for cyber cafe with the one going by the name Net City Internet run by Mr Naren functioning irrespective of rains. This time round I could not do even one story from their store, and herein Net City Technologies (Shop Number 5, 6, Kavitha Complex, Thendral Restaurant, Hobart Park Cross Road) had the legitimate roar.  Net City Technologies obliged me on occasions more than once to do stories which tried to reason out the South India queries. 

Ride To Thalaikundha

On a Monday with nothing much to do, I decided to board a bus with no stress.  As I took a bus to Thalaikundha, there were reminders on the need to keep city clean and green. Go past Govt Medical College The Nilgiris. Thoughts on snow capped Udhagamandalam if ever possible and would there be occasional sighting of polo bears, and this may come around if environment one cares. Having reached Thalaikundha and from here Masinagudi 68, Mudumalai 61 and Mysuru 152 kms. In Thalaikundha there is liquor bottle and plastic waste collection kiosk functioning dawn to dusk. Thalaikundha is known for greenery and rolling hills situated along the Nagapattinam-Coimbatore-Gundlupet Highway getting its share of visitors from Maharashtra's Mumbai. Mind you, the ride to Thalaikundha had less reservoir of support as the bus was cramped, and some visiting their camp. 

Ride From Thalaikundha To Udhagamandalam Central Bus Stand

The ride from Thalaikundha to Udhagamandalam Central Bus Stand was bumpy with reminders never overtake in curves, and as there is SBI Indunagar branch there are some wishing to hold out an olive branch. Go past Nest 'n' Mist Bakery. Go past Eucalyptus oil factory.  From here fuel station 3.6 kms. Some women from Muslim community in animated conversation with Hindu family in the bus knowing fully well strawberry shake can lend you the right guess. Go past The Cliff School. Go past Suji Suriya's Chocolate Factory. Go past Finger Post. Go past Snowfall Rooms and Cottages. Go past Long Wood Cottage. Reminder plastic straws would invite fine of Rs 1000 with some holding brief on Chinese manufacturer Suzhou Douson. Go past Woodside School. Go past State Bank Of India branch. Go past Holiday Home For Central Govt. Reach Udhagamandalam Central Bus Stand at 4.53 with no need to tie a lone man to a tree. This ride coming on a day when I had barely spent 24 hours in the city where rush hour tourist traffic noted in May- June make some croon.   

Going to Kodappamund high hill tea 

From Udhagamandalam bus stand there are buses with no bruises to Tiruppur, Erode, Salem, Madurai, Trichy, Kotagiri, Mettupalayam, Coonoor, Coimbatore, Sathy, Gobi, Masinagudi, Mysuru, Gudalur. The bus for Kodappamund leaves at 3.40. Ad of Repco bank offering 8.25 per cent interest for senior citizen. Go past Ettines road. Go past Sri Shanthi Vijay Girls Higher Secondary School, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank. Ujjivan Bank began operations in 2017. As of date, it has 777 branches.  At 3.55 there are directions to Kotagiri, Doddabetta. Once I get down at Kodappamund I have to trudge to reach High Hill Tea in Doddabetta Road.

With contact numbers 9843931200 9942723400, this store I have visited in the past offering

I was in the city in the first and second week of July and rains have been there for the past six days and before that there were none. Meet Mohammad Ibrahim working in UAE. From Mangalore he came to Coonoor, from Coonoor to Wayanad, and from Wayanad to Udhagamandalam. Knows Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi. There were network issues some faced whole booking unreserved train ticket. No special quota. Only single queue. As majority face career blues. When my turn came to take ticket, I insisted on having a window seat as with that opening one can greet.

At 12.30 Lovedale comes.Thoughts on Lord Murugan, GODDESS Mariamman temples in Udhagamandalam. Third tunnel after 12.37. Thoughts on how Delhi traffic would be after 15 years from now when contacts would be rare with Kalimpong. Ketti comes at 12.43. Expansive green cover after 12.46. Thoughts on Karnataka Express, Bengaluru Rajdhani trains from Delhi to Bengaluru carrying passengers even from Churu. Train comes to a screeching halt at 12.55. At 1 comes Aravankadu. Thoughts on Mangalore and fruits from there which on occasions may turn out to be rare. At 1.26 Wellington. At 1.33 reach Coonoor. ATM of Ujjivan bank in functional mode vis-a-vis South Indian Bank, Indian Bank which have shut doors. Take meals from Hotel Sri Lakshmi Pure Veg in DVD complex TDK Pillai road Coonoor 9443017237 / 0423 2238889. A word of praise for gastronomic delight with prospects of this eating joint looking to be bright. 

Return Ride From Coonoor To Udhagamandalam

Meet Mr Murthy from Coonoor who knew the city inside out and the season when inflation is the reigning bout. Take bus from Iyengar Bakery at 3 PM. Welcome to Wellington Cantonment Board. Go past Tea Board India Coonoor. Go past Boy's Company which at random sees visits of the rank attorney. Go past Ave Maria CHURCH. Reach Aravankadu at 3.10. Few moments later Sharon Prayer House. Few moments later Green Hill Guest House, Nilgiris Matriculation School where students invariably drool. Go past Yellanalli. Milky Mist Van passes by. Board of Go Green. Throughout Retain Sheen. Greenery Holiday Inn (Rs 999) breakfast included notably recorded in a city where some firms have to subject themselves to audit. From here Mysuru 128 kms. Few minutes later Ettines road. And finally, we are in Udhagamandalam where if ever snow peaks there would be beating of drum. These visits to Thalaikundha, Kodappamund High Hill Tea and Coonoor were on separate days amidst luncheon meet with guys which kept up the pace. 

Temperatures And AQI Keeping It In Steady Trait 

With temperatures in Udhagamandalam between 19 and 23 degrees celsius and AQI between 20 and 48, it illustrates this region has strong traits. Those owning tea gardens and those wishing to own the same may be in for a good game. Let us raise a outlook that for seasons together Udhagai (Udhagamandalam) would have a weather that won't keep one in a spot of bother. Let us hail the sentiments that guide Udhagai which for centuries to come would fly. Let the word come out that Udhagai and Kotagiri undercurrents other regions ape irrespective of their configuration and shape.

Ride From Kotagiri To Udhagamandalam In Tamil Nadu Province

Ride From Kotagiri To Udhagamandalam In Tamil Nadu Province

Mr Devraj is the taximan who gets me a ride. Leave Kotagiri at 2.23 PM as the bus is cramped with no standing space either even if some are bent to ride a tiger. As taxi moves on, Iyengar's Bakery is not hard to spot. Gasoline refill at Indian Oil pump done with ease with none at this hour likely to make calls to Greece. From here Gudalur 75, Udhagamandalam 25 kms. Go past Pandian Park dropping hints on directions to Horasholai. With Orasolai accessed there are directions to Anna Nagar, Kamraj Nagar and Udhagamandalam. Go past West Brooke with no urgency to look for a new cook. Thoughts on if Delhi could have been amidst hills, and that would have given this theatre new wheels. Thoughts as well on if one could take a taxi from Tirumala (Andhra Pradesh Province) to Delhi as trains are yet to ascertain the new tally.  Lush green surroundings guide you, and here there would be none with career blues. From here for Coonoor turn left and for Udhagamandalam head straight. At 2.41 it begins to rain. There are twists and turns as we keep on the road with no intentional recce by leopard. Story could well be on Coimbatore and the Camaraderie and those making grand entry.  At 2.53 reach Peror.  As one goes past S N Valley Tea Factory, thoughts on Pamban bridge before Rameswaram in this very province where most are likely to complete new innings.

As noting is made of Tea Park 100 mts from here, Aavin parlour can be spotted here and there. Plastic And Litter Free Nilgiris Welcome You one can spot with High Hill Tea Shop which I visited some years ago with some familiar with Australian Sport Trugo. Ooty Cauvery Silk And Handicraft Emporium accessed with fewer under stress. Go past Kodappamund. Go past Kota's Emporium. Go past ST. Anthony's Shrine. Go past NDCC Bank (Charring Cross Udhagamandalam). Reach North Lake Road Udhagamandalam at 3.25, and gain access to Hotel Green Valley which welcomes visitors who have participated at different point of time in different set of rally. Mind you, the jeep MDN 8159 which I spotted in Kotagiri was one in million of that race bent to keep up the chase.

Sightings In Kotagiri In Tamil Nadu Province

Before visiting Kodanadu View Point I had the opportunity to take South Indian Meals from Annalakshmi Drive In Restaurant. Meals light on pocket, weighty almost like a bucket.

Ride From Coimbatore To Kotagiri; Ride To Kodanadu View Point Keeping A Neat Tally

Ride From Coimbatore To Kotagiri; Ride To Kodanadu View Point Keeping A Neat Tally

As I try to make a post from Net City in Hobart Park Cross Road in Udhagamandalam (Tamil Nadu Province), the stay for the past five days have been fun coming ton by ton. It would be prudent to look back on the ride to Kotagiri from Coimbatore where people welcome visitors with welcome battery. As I took a room in Harri Priya Hotel in 95 Geetha Hall opposite Coimbatore railway station, I was still not sure how I would access Kotagiri and Udhagamandalam visting after eight years hoping to swing with more cheers. On a Saturday take bananas from Ranis Hotel hoping to meet those elements who keep count of digital transaction battle. Post bananas leave Harri Priya with Mr Kuppaswamy arranging an auto with some holding extempore brief on protocol Kyoto. The auto goes past Aroma Bakery, Kavitha Bakery, and here mopeds galore with enough sighting of eateries. Having reached Ooty bus stand there are spate of buses meant to fetch ride to Ooty, and I interested in Kotagiri bus with no stress. Taximan Mr Guruswamy seeks to know about Kotagiri ride, and I revert back stressing the bus ride would be comfortable sighting no double. In bus stand there is circuit bus ad touching places as varied as Central bus stand, Karnataka Garden, Boat House, Botanical Garden, Doddabetta Junction, benchmark tea museum and Rose Garden.

Leave Ooty (Udhagamandalam) bus stand at 10.30. The bus goes past Indian Overseas Bank, and from here Mettupalayam 31 kms, and this ride expected to give no jitters. Ad of villas, plots across Coimbatore featuring sportsperson Mr Mahendra Singh Dhoni sighted with ease, and enquiries to this effect expected to come from Greece. Hoarding of United College of Arts and Commerce, United Public School and United College of Physiotherapy coming before hoarding of Aksharam International School where discipline is the rule. At 11.10 Kotagiri is 45 kms with ad of Ultratech Cement which is in athletic tent. Christ The King Engineering College perhaps very much in the town with some willing to take the crown. Here I spot lone woman driving moped aware of traffic rules carrying essential tools.  At 11.26 reach Mettupalayam bus stand, leave few moments later with SSVM The Day And Residential School noting registered, and here there be no red alert. At 11.40 Kotagiri 32 kms, and from here noting of Animal Crossing Zone with an understanding one has to go carefully and abstain from poll rally.

We Are On State Highway 15 Hoping To Meet In Multiple Teen

Go past Forest College And Research Institute. As Nilgiri biosphere reserve welcomes one, the ascent begins at 11.50 on State Highway 15, and this stretch has capacity to carry unimaginable load of those who are teen. Here thoughts on Tirumala and Maharashtra with some standing by those who go by the name Cleopatra.  Nalli Hair Pin Bend at 12 PM followed by Kari Hair Pin Bend, Pari Hair Pin Bend. No soon we are amidst Tribal Products Sale Centre, and from here Kotagiri 16 kms with some trying to figure out ancient Greek City Datus.  At 12.17 Mamaram followed by Mulloor and Kottakombai where none would like rumours to fly.  At 12.52 reach Kotagiri where silence is by no means errie.  Take a room in Ramesh Vihar where one has trouble to get the door lock straight, hope in Trilan Cottages in future one won't have to wait. From nearby bus stand Coonoor 23, Dodabetta 23, Beragani 8 kms, and here occasionally one gets rebuked by tutors for not taking the lessons that are latest. 

Ride To Kodanadu View Point; Here AQI 20 And Keeping None In Bind

Board Kodanadu View Point bus at 5.33 (PM). Go past Donnington Road, go past Hillcrest not in jest. Go past Bathma tea, Bank Of India Elada branch with some having the weather hunch. Admission open to Lakshmi Narayanan Visalakshi College of Arts and Science In Chettipalayam, Coimbatore one comes across fully aware who is the boss. Here houses and hopes rest on laurels they have received over the years with no fears. Go past Kodanad Estate. Reach Kodanadu View Point at 6.30 with no desire to meet woman going by the name Ketty. Mind you, the earlier visit was in 2011 when most sported honesty turban. I put in a prayer I keep visiting Kodanadu View Point on and on even if some have to host visitors from West Bengal's Kalimpong. There is scenic pleasure on sighting Nilgiris Hills. Air is breathtaking clean, and would remain so for centuries together with none having airs ladder. River you spot is in Coimbatore which has its set of lore. For miles together one can get a clear view till Seven when India hopes to wecome guests largely German.  AQI here between 20 and 30 and temperature 18 Degress Celsius vis-a-vis Delhi where AQI peaks to 400 during winters and by no means sparing  summers. Summers with temperature 40 with some ever ready to usher in change in weather with slim chance of getting haughty. Meet guys from Setty Mech SME (Small And Medium Enterprises) In Mysuru, seeking to know the month I would be in the second cleanest city of India where probably I could acquire sustaining idea. Leave Kodanadu View Point at 7.25 with well maintained roads, well maintained tea gardens, and here KVP is heaven. 

Confessions On Board About The Need To Let Delhi Have The Lap Of Cheer 

As I took Chennai Rajdhani from Delhi, the deliberation were all about political undercurrents the country was faced with, and those earmarked to show their writ. On SIR (Special Intensive Revision) where million and million voters got deleted from voter list, most argued this was meant to please the ESTABLISHMENT which has pitched its tent. The ruling on SIR was flawed and here some argued courts had erred raising and leaving room for omissions to get to the stage of glut. How can voters numbering 10 million and beyond in just one State the poll panel can exclude them, and here the public is in for a long game. Sensing the ruling was erroneous, was New Delhi trying to replicate the trace that had been left by Nepal and Bangladesh heft which primarily aimed to clear the political debt?

ESTABLISHMENT Guys Making Notings Thrice

To curry flavour with those in political gallery who seem to denote they are in a Ship Of Vallery, the evolution of the past decade has been minus intuition chivalry. Some on board wished some in India's administration smacked less of arrogance, and try to fill in more layers of patience. From the huge bungalows of Delhi where the ESTABLISHMENT guys reside, it would be more apt to have a steady diet with multilayered flats believed to raise noteworthy track that is upright. You provide security entailing millions in outgo with net result those among masses they can't swear to have even one who could be their sincere bro. For Delhi to have the lap of cheer, noteworthy suggestions be made on measured traffic warchest, with those in the ESTABLISHMENT stepping out once a week, and those driving the vehicle having passed the drinking test. For Delhi to have the lap of cheer, let the inaugural session be the ESTABLISHMENT understand the pain the common man is going through, and this has been decade true. For a decade different institutions have lost the Flag of Liberty, and wishing to please those who have innings minus creativity. If you want to make amends, you better give rulings that are in dire opposite to what ESTABLISHMENT savour as all through the year you can't give the platform of flavour.

Ride From Chennai To Coimbatore The Previous Friday

Ride From Chennai To Coimbatore The Previous Friday

Having spotted board of CSI College Of Engineering Ketti, the task before me has been to post stories on South India voyage which having completed six days with grace. It would be prudent to look at Chennai stay, and the ride from there with no fear. Having reached Chennai On A Thursday, Mr Parthasarthy dropped me at Tourist Home in Egmore which declined my request to spare a room perhaps having visitors from Kashmir who could croon. Lakshmi Mohan Guest House came to my rescue with the host Mr John dropping the clue. The room allotted, and in this city for the duration of stay no one looking to be hot headed. The next morning I made a dash to Chennai Central Railway Reservation Centre with counter number 16 guy issuing a ticket to Coimbatore for train number 22207, and here they were in no two minds on accepting cash something visible in New Delhi, and a broadcast on same known to those having power belly. 

Visiting Sacred Heart Shrine, Visiting Egmore Cafe, Sangeetha Eatery And They In Their Prime

After collecting ticket I visited Sacred Heart Shrine abutting Kennet Lane amidst worship session bringing new equation. Visit to Egmore Cafe got me the yummy strawberry milk shake, and the veg sandwich was icing on the cake.The staff young and courteous and looking all blessed. Mind you, this outlet is opposite Hotel Ceylon with no desire to sight the clone. Visit to Mulberry store in Kennet Lane brought me in touch with Mr Madhuvahan from Madurai seeking to know places I have visited in his home town, the place that at one point of time holding the bets on who would take the crown. In Kennet Lane as well Saravana restaurant was up for renovation, and I settling for Sangeetha veg dining place in Shivalaya building with no need to see who were yielding. Freshly prepared meals soft on stomach unlike the September 2025 outing when meals had massive burst of spice, leaving one with the solitary option to open lines of communication with Australia's Dunach thrice.

Rajammal Vidyalaya followed by Sevappet Road spotted at 4.41, and at 4.43 Putlur, 4.44 Tiruvallur where people go on a tour. Essential to load this fact that there are spate of local trains back and forth to Tiruvallur from Chennai Central with television series getting more eyeballs going by the name Vanthu whose first name is Thendral. At 4.45 Egattur with three tracks till now adding to the rule. Kadammattur spotted, and from here there is a bridge over dry river making fewer shiver. At  4.50 Mannavur, 4.52 Tiruvalangadu.

Mosur, Arakkonam Accessed; Chennai To Coimbatore Passage Should Remain Blessed 

At 5.08 Mosur, 5.32 Arakkonam, 5.33, and here some old Tamil women outside in animated conversation and watching movement of this train with no desire to gain fame. Noting be made that prior to 5.30 lakes sprout, and they maintaining momentum be no seasonal bout. At 5.40 First Underpass spotted. Some young students of class 3 or 4 waving at us from a level crossing, and perhaps they would be aware of benefits of nosing. At 5.42 Chitteri with Second Underpass spotted at 5.48 with some on board wishing to place an order from an eatery. Thoughts here on Chennai to Coimbatore passage, and the need for high speed rail network doling out passengers hour by hour perks.When that would come up not known in a nation that during difficult moments stands lone. Patch of barren land subsumed by patch of green shade is all we can see with no urgency to establish contacts with Mr Lee. At 5.53 Sholinghur accessed, 5.57 Thalangai. At 6 Lord Hanuman STATUE comes to one's notice with Third Underpass refraining from mentioning those who swear by lotus.

Expansive green cover after 6.38 with Valathoor coming at 6.47 followed by Melpatti with some sporting turban. Salem at 8.48, Erode 9.40 and finally Coimbatore at 11.12 with those deboarding being greeted with ringing of bell.

Noting be made that in Chennai it was room 408, and in Kotagiri for 105 one had to wait.
