I wanted to go home really badly, not because I was away from a long time, but I was really getting bugged with the same routine of lab to room and back to lab in IIIT and the amount of work that I thought I was doing looked too much (thought it was not much). And thinking of the life at our college (NIT Durgapur) and the whole idea of me working in the vacations too, made me feel even more sick! I just needed a break. So I wanted to book my train ticket and started searching for trains. I then got to know about the Garib Rath, which plies between Hyderabad and Bangalore. So I decided to try it once and booked my tickets. To my surprise, the AC 3 tier ticket cost just Rs. 499, from Hyderabad to Bangalore!
The train is very new and well maintained, it’s worth more than 500 bucks surely. I enjoyed the journey and traveled in the same train twice more. Each coach has 78 berths. It’s just like a normal train, but there is a side middle berth also and that’s how they earn some extra money. But that is totally acceptable and even then it’s worth it to travel in that. I had a very good experience and hope that more such trains in many more routes will be started.
Cheers Laloo!
