TRIP REPORT OF JOURNEY BETWEEN HOSUR-HYDERABAD:
PART-1(Hosur-SBC):
Me and Hosur railway station never really click an instant bond, re-validated by me completely bowled out with tension at 17:45 if i will be able to catch the HSRA-YPR Pass to depart at 17:45, was held at the gate before station to give way to YPR-SA Pass. As soon as this train passed i could see the NCR-SBC pass on PF-1 and HSRA-YPR Bullet DEMU pass on PF-3, thereby relieved that i made it again..While the SA Pass was entering the station a stray cow

attempted to cross the track and there was some wild honking and braking which followed.
Finally i took my ticket from JTBS counter deciding to give some profit to people who depend on our Indian Railways, well the fact was that the Queue in the station was quite long. Boarded the train which started at around 18:05, got a window seat agin only in the last coach much to my distaste as i didnt really enjoy the ride last time.
Reached BAND at 19:07 but held there for 15 mins to give way for a light ALCO going towards YPR, reached LOGH to meet two "Assi saalo se dosth" Shashank and Tejas, expected to watch the YPR-HWH express zoom past which ended up moving at some 20-30kmph with a LGD WAP-4 in the lead. Tejas would argue it was even slower. Spotted the YPR-Kannur express which definitely did more than twice the speed of HWH express.After seeing off a Goods rake we made way to a chat bhandar where Tejas treated us to some class chat on the occasion of his birthday which we savored while chatting away.
Tejas headed back home and shashank dropped me in the station on his bike. I am really glad that it was n old one, if it were a new one i wouldnt probably be typing this report.
I was supposed to take a train to chennai this night however we lost track of time chatting while eating chat, finally SBC-MAS Mail left the platform, i was not in it.
Iam currently sitting in S-4 31 SLB typing this report, why? coz i dont really have anything to do now with my laptop and am not feeling sleepy. My fellow passenger who is expected to join at WFD of what i learnt from the reservation charts.
This is the first part of my journey, would be travelling to Renigunta from chennai and further to hyderabad for christmas tomorrow..
To Be Continued..Thanks for reading :)

PART-2:
CHENNAI-RENIGUNTA
Woke up at Perambur after which the train halted a few minutes, left slowly before coming to a halt at vyasarapadi and finally made it into MAS at 0730 while Brindavan exp was being shunted into the station to begin its journey.

i had a few issues here, i had to take the MAS-CSTM Express to RU at 11:55 but i had some work to do which if everything went right would take around 5 hours.So i had 4 hours before i could board the next train and had 5 hours of work to do. Headed straght to the cloak room before reaching Park station and taking a train to Beach. It was quite pleasant in chennai at this time of the year.
.
Completed my work at 1100 thanks to a little help i recieved from friends in chennai and headed back to MAS. Something struck me and it struck me hard, no it wasnt anything physical but i just learnt that i dont have my ticket SMS as i had changed handsets in Hosur before leaving and i couldnt connect to IRCTC from my mobile to get an SMS for two reasons.
1. IRCTC server woudnt really be glad to let me login being tatkal booking time.
2.My tickets were booked by Pramodh upon my request.
.
I texted pramodh before reaching MAS at 11:25, train was there but no proof of tickets. I headed straight to the train with a hope to pay the TTE 50/- as i didnt have the ticket but had the ID. Fortunately the TTE didnt come till tiruttani but pramodh's message did.My seat was S-5,8 right next to the door.
.
Not much excitement in this route apart from a group of gals occupying some 8-10 seats right behind me and a lot more guys from the next compartment all suddenly deciding to charge their mobile phones in the socket opposite to me at the door. I am sure both the groups enjoyed a good deal of attention from their opposite genders as the guys were decent enough to stay in their limits.
.
Made a few friends in the guy group and had no time to be bored till RU. Got down at RU and saw the WAP-4 from RPM detached from my train, spotted YPR-HATIA express and headed out to a friend's home before continuing my trip to hyderabad in the evening. Not much happened in the evening either except for speed in the 15 coacher rayalseema express to HYB surprisingly hauled by a KJM WDP-4 20032 that evening..
