Visiting Lord Ganesh Temple in Secundarabad
After taking Bombay Meals from Padmaja restaurant i returned to my room. Early next morning i took tea from A R Mess Point. Here mornings begin early. The A R Mess Point opens up by 4.30 am or before that. Visited the famed Lord Ganesh Temple in Secundarabad. Returning to Padmaja i vacated the room and took two sets of Idly from the restaurant.
It is Raju bhaiya the automan who drops me at Jubilee Bus Station (JBS). I can't find bus for Sirsailam. If you visit the bus site there are buses every hour to Srisailam from JBS. I am told i would get bus from Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station (MGBS) in Hyderabad. Take auto mentored by Mr Nagesh to MGBS. He informs me that the metro inauguration is today for metro to run between JBS and MGBS. At MGBS meet Nikhil going to Srisailam.
From MGBS there are buses going to Alchampet, Kalwakurthy, Mahbubnagar, Wanaparthy, Narayananpet, Hubli, Yadagirigutta, Warangal, Guntur among other places.
The aforementioned bus come at 10.14 am. Inside bus there is an ad on Venkateshwara shopping mall. Zaheerabad, Bidar
The bus leaves at 10.30 am. Mr Vijay swamy is bus driver and he is very alert. Even the bus conductor is cheerful.
