Reaching Bangalore, leaving for Tirumala
Having reached Prashanti Nilayam, and having stayed for two days, the next destination to be approached happened to be Bangalore. Taking Coimbatore Express which departs a little after 5 in the evening, the waiting list of 6 wasn't much of a botheration as it involved a little over five hours journey. The gentleman coming from Mumbai and proceeding towards Bangalore was helpful. He happenned to be s k srikara
sales and application engineer, working in Bangalore. A stiff TTE, who became normal a little later, the transformation came about courtesy a gentleman from Bangalore doing the needful.
Hailing from Dawoodi Bohra Community
Adjacent to my seat there were a handful of people hailing from Dawoodi Bohra Community. Interaction with them brought forth the Bhindi Bazar and its redevelopment. How extensive would be this endeavour, something elaborately spelt by Shekhar, the writer, while doing walk the talk episode. Of late the paper in which the transcript appeared has been short of stories on the north east. One story spelling the last of Maruti 800 rolling out from its plant and the same car being shipped to the North East was quite engaging. It appeared in Eye which had an eye for detail as long as it appeared in A 4 format. Bring more northeast writers or those hailing from Ladakh onboard. Instead of writing about art exhibition here or solo dressing effort there, bring stories of society in churn. As for the paper from the East, a series of stories on Jute mill lands that had been taken over by developers as mills had not been functioning for long. On these lands series of electoral meetings took place during campaign period and the page that featured these stories had the facing page on real estate and the empire they were presiding over. The paper from the east is ok but be little careful about ads and on which page they appear.
Relaunch of Maruti 800 and Ambassador
As for Maruti 800, the relaunch should be tried in earnest, same as the need to try relaunch of Ambassador car from its plant in the State of West Bengal. Coming back to Bangalore ride, the people hailing from Dawoodi Bohra community were in their elements and we discussed with them about redevelopment of Bhindi Bazar and the time it would take to complete the exercise. People were soft spoken and they divulged that one passenger among them had a waiting list of 12 and the TTE the previous night was kind enough to accommodate them. Among others in the coach were students and some destined to travel to Coimbatore.
No response on Sudharshan Token
The train after a series of halts, some scheduled, some unscheduled, reached Bangalore Central a little after 10.20pm. I checked into Subhadra lodge in SC Road after 11. The first night meant bed bugs had to be negotiated and following this night i had to shift to another lodge. Mind you except for bed bugs, there was no iota of inconvenience in Subhadra lodge where the staff is very helpful. Before shifting to Royal Lodge in Bangalore, i visited 16th cross Vyalikavel Malleswaram which houses the office of TTD. Here the TTD temple and the statue of the lord is quite enriching. As for the office it is in its own world, where queries on Sudharshan Token and its availability does not elicit any response. In Tirumala i was told the Sudharshan token has been made online. Till now Arijitha sevas had been online. Now even Sudharshan token has take the online route. Of all the pilgrims visiting Tirumala at least 88 per cent don't access net. So how come the online hooter is advisable.
Visiting K C Das outlet
Vyalikavel did not get me the requisite response. In malleswaram there is K C Das outlet, the curd dished out is quite wonderful. Headquarters of K C Das is in Kolkata. Opposite the K C Das outlet in malleswaram is a store whose occupants were kind enough to hand out the change.
Took the bus to reach vyalikavel and took the return ride in a bus as well after spending almost an hour on the streets to figure out one road in that area which is narrow and sliding down and a has a bus stop on the right. Meals were taken from swathi delux andhra meals from kempegowda bus station. Met sai sathya narayana who happenned to be editor of sai anantham, the publication coming out from Puttaparthi.
As for kempegowda bus station it is under major renovation, revealing the mammoth of operations during day as well as night time.
