Day before yesterday, I started my journey in TVC Rajdhani from TCR at 11:55 pm. The rakes are brand brand new. They shined in nightlight. I was travelling with my Father. We both boarded the train and occupied our seats 29 and 30 in A1 (AC 2 tier) coach. We slept and got up at 6 am, when the bed tea was served. After that at 8 am, we were served the breakfast, which was just awesome. We had opted for veg breakfast. We got two cutlets, two slices of bread, butter and jam, a mangola, and a chocolate. Tea was served simultaneously. At 12 pm we got tomato soup, which was good and after that veg lunch. The lunch was superb. At 4 pm, we got tea, a sandwich, a samosa, a mangola and some chocolates. I liked the samosa so much, that I asked for one more, which they...

gave. Before reaching Panvel, we were served with rasam, which was mind blowing. After that, we got our dinner. We had ordered continental food, which was not upto the mark. We reached Vasai at 10 25pm, bang on time. In all a great train journey, one of the best that I have had. I according to me
Speed-4.5/5 (It reached almost every station before schedule)
Cleanliness-5/5 (The coaches were well maintained. It was cleaned in every 7 to 8 hours)
Food-3.5/5 (Everything was good except continental dinner. If any IRCTC employee is listening, then please try to work on that aspect)

Divide the distance between Udupi & Karwar by 1.3 & then calculate speed!!
102 (Approx): Thats original speed between Karwar-Udupi!!

Is that the inflated distance?
If yes,still the speed cannot be 102 I guess.
Is it that easy?

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
