The Ride From Madurai To Bengaluru Cantt
With Bengaluru Cantt bound train having left Madurai at 5.15 AM, thoughts were on Madurai Stay and the lodge New College House by no means getting grey. New College House portends battle of nerves as getting a room can be dicey despite no season to season curbs. As there is rush round the year, one better watch out for days when there is lean demand for rooms, making way for those who can croon. New College House I have been staying since 2010 with room tariff looks with no leaks somewhat steep in a nation where the north-south chemistry with a defined class can gain a big leap. On North-South chemistry less voluble has been suggestions on table despite train connectivity and aviation ever ready finding in some sections able buddy. I was in that part of South India where interactions are largely in Tamil with train announcements inside convoy primarily in English, Hindi and on silent occasions in Tamil to cater to that set of audience that would like to skip meals put to taste with fair sprinkling of onions. Here in this part of world raw onions are least consumed unlike North where it is taken at intervals by some akin to application of perfume.
The North-South Dichotomy
The North-South Dichotomy, and to read the same, demands oodles of patience, and let either side not harp on discriminatory tools even in the face of incriminating evidence of language seen as a barrier that can literally land one in a swimming pool. Let Hindi, the language primarily spoken in North, not one to be seen as an experiment to be tried in South, and if it is done so, it can release endless sessions of bout. The train staff primarily made up of those who could spell success in Hindi, primarily maintaining this stand that majority of those travelling in this caravan had developed association with Hindi Rank. Hindi has to be given respect in corridors it deserves, Tamil and to add paean to that in households where there are least sighting of long winding curve. Let Tamil and Hindi rejoice in the glory that there are defined segments in the nation where either can reap a rich haul, commensurate with an understanding that India a territory would abstain from having any brawl.
Pitch Dark When Convoy Left Madurai
It was pitch dark when the train left Madurai, and by the time Dindigul was accessed, there was no word yet who would latch on to Buxar buses with no bruises. Scores of people board from Madurai (6), as well from Tiruchchirapali (7.03), and the maximum speed the convoy could clock was 109 kms, much relegated to this ideology that saturated tracks made the onward movement drowsy. Prior to Salem (9.30) came Karur, Namakkal and here no noteworthy episodes of some fixing their vehicle. At 10.10 came Buddireddipatti which was quite at home and not to be slayed by paratroopers of ED. How many guys in these 132 months had been sent summons no one knows, and wouldn't it be appropriate that summons be sent to those who burn reckless crackers in tonnes? If one is mindlessly burning crackers akin to burning money as their households are sitting on a mountain of illegitimate money, and this is a reflection of staging of city to city tourney. Burning crackers all through night recording decibel level not known to mankind, and sum total of this exercise that crackers they chase are the same that the neighbours find it to be a total waste with an inexplicable base.
Krishnajapuram Accessed
By the time Krishnajapuram was reached we were inching closer to Bengaluru Cantt, and the number of passengers who boarded in all the mentioned stoppages, suggest that this convoy was a favourite of middle class which despite GST BATTERY is much closer to getting food from Bengaluru Or Chennai Eatery. By the time Bengaluru Cantt came it was closer to 12.30 and here no pressing need to furnish your ID.
Food Wastage On Board
This ride and the meals served on board invoked thoughts quite furious over food that is wasted during the course of journey. And Indian Railways need to press the panic button that waste of food won't be taken lightly and some would be denied the same irrespective of their aim. Indian Railways need to bring in announcement from time to time seeking passengers' cooperation that food served should not be wasted and this endeavour is by no means done and dusted. India is a nation of over 1.5 billion people and majority don't have access to meals thrice a day and this spectacle is no beaming tray.
