1220 in the noon. train reached VRI late by 45 mins. I got a window seat in the 2S coach. This give bit relief from the summer. I am going alone for my old colleague's marriage. I always believe travelling alone and for a short distance like for 5-6 hours and in day time train sleeper or 2s class will be better option. It saves some money too. In tamilnadu roads and bus services are good. 2 more friends are expected to join at wedding hall in the night.
