Is Upgrade VOID ?

No VOID here.
Stamping Correct.
VOID Only if CNF Under HO/OS Quota

Why VOID? It got confirmed..

No , it confirmed without ho quota hence not void

Could some of the honorary members explain what Void is? I hope I will have no issues boarding the first AC coach?

Here only.
The status remains unchanged in IR server.

Congratulations, upgraded to 1AC. Wish you happy journey.

No issues. Infact, congrats on upgradation!! Lucky!

Supposing we dont opt for upgradation while booking,can we request TTE to do it during travel? Then we have to pay or is it free?

The Train Conductors/Ticket Examiners will have no authority to upgrade any passenger under this scheme on the train.

Left ERS three minutes late. Found a fellow copassenger who was upgraded to 1AC as well and he was delighted. Before the train left there was a massive brawl outside the train involving folks from the Pantry. Reason unknown. As of now, having a nice chat with my co passenger who is a doctor. The 1AC LHB coaches are awesome! Pics coming soon! :)

Then,what is Manual upgradation as auto gradation is done by system?

you have to pay the fare difference for manual upgradation...auto upgradation is Free! Free!! Free!!!

Skipped Kamathe a few minutes ago.

is it kozhi kal ?

Yummy,appetizing !!

Yup. Kozhi Kal. Others. Kozhi Kal = Chicken leg in Malayalam :D

Skipping Chiplun as I type this..

IS that palak dhal? Looks like they added too much water. The texture of chicken also same.

and why potato curry in only one plate and salad also served only one plate ? and chicken curry is more in one plate and less in other plate why ?

Potato curry was also served in two other plates. There was extra chicken curry as well. Both are not in the picture. It was kept on the side table. The dal felt slightly burnt but was tasty. The Chicken curry was hot, fresh and excellent. Might look watery to some but trust me, it was nice. Lunch was followed by IceCream and was preceded by breadsticks and tomato soup.

Skipped Khed. Just now.

Slowed down at Veer. Crossed the Trivandrm bound Netravati Express.

KSK is ready to cross.

ThanX for using trip diary. I was very lively update.

Reached home at Palghar! Got the Panvel - Dahanu Road MEMU at Virar. This was the same train I intened to catch from Panvel but couldnt because the Duronto did't stop there - nor at Diva. Went to LTT -> Tilak Nagar -> Kurla -> Dadar and then took the 7:22 fast to Virar and got the MEMU there. :D
This was a memorable trip and my first trip in AC First class1 I have a couple of videos lined up which can be viewed on my YouTube Channel. Just look for "whizkiddreloaded" on YouTube!
Thanks to everyone for reading this! I might as wee post a trip report soon!

A video from the trip has been uploaded. Posting it here once again. :)

What was the Sorry Train standing opposite to Your Duronto???

That was the CST- Pernem Holiday Special.
