...........
we were in the train, standing in a general compartment...
Satti started telling the features and config of the new digicam tht we bought last night. Nobody showed interest. The train jus passed warangal n we got some place which is sufficient for 4 members to sit. So gau,satti,obul n anu sat on the floor. Rest of us were still standing. Everyone started telling about their TLs and PMs and chicks in the office. After some jokes and pranks they fell asleep. Pa1, sid n myself are still chatting. Later We too sat on the floor and somehow adjusted ourselves. We sat in a very awkward positions such that we can't even move an inch if anything happens in the train. Then suddenly a big sound... Our senses were dead.....
fart by on oldman sitting very near to us. Our noses as well as minds are blocked. Trapped in a Worst situation. We can't even getup frm tht places bcoz we really sat in very awkward positions. It was like hell. Sid took out the deo and sprayed all over...
4:30 AM, sat'day (Vijayawada rly station)
We got enuf place after reaching vijayawada and decided to get down at rajahmundry (my hometown). We went to our home and freshed ourselves very quickly. Mom prepared a delicious breakfast. Right after taking the brkfast we went to rly station n got into inter-city express.
10:00 AM (In Inter-city express)
This train is recently started between Rjy and Vsp, so the train is almost empty. Thanks to rly dept for their poor publicity. Everyone got a full berth. I slept like a polar bear which is in a hibernation. We reached Vsp after 3 hrs and went to anu's house. Had lunch there and took rest.
We went to kailashagiri and RK beach. We went into the awesome submarine which is open to public. We took pics. We roamed here and there and enjoyed well.
Time didn't remember (In local bus)
We were returning to sid's house on city bus. Sid said we crossed the stop and will get down in the next one. Bus slowed down a bit then the 'jalak' satti got down from the bus but in a reverse direction :O. All laws of physics, inertia,torque, momentum, friction whatever we studied in our school came into the picture and acted against satti. He fell down and hurt his knee very badly. He might have understood those concepts now. We immediately took him to the hospital. Nurse did some first aid, doctor gave a prescription (which nobody understood). We paid the bill - 500 bucks.
We reached sid's house. After taking dinner. We saw the pics in sid's system. Slowly everybody went to sleep as the araku train is at 5AM tomorrow.
We woke up in the morning and went to Araku. It was simply awesome (I'll try to write about it later)....
3:00 PM (In a small restaurant)
We were very hungry and ordered whatever there in the menu. We know that last train is at 4:00 PM, but we gave importance to fud. The canteen guy solidly took 45 minutes and served us all the items. They are delicious, atleast better than what we eat in our offices. Time is 4:30 PM and we missed the train. That boy told that busstop is very near and bus is at 5:30. We went to bus-stop , it took 15 mins.
5:00 PM (Araku busstop)
Sun is slogging like cricketers slog in last overs and lemme tell u itz very hot. We reached the busstop. Itz a newly constructed one and donated by a local leader. We tried to read his name but failed. His surname is like a tongue twister, It has cooling water facility, a small canteen, reservation counter and SBI ATM centre. Panneru(Sid) has a very bad habit of checking the balance at odd times. He went int the atm center and asked us to come inside. We nodded our heads and went into the room as we can enjoy the AC for 5 mins. He took out a very old card (he said hez using that card after 4 years) and checked his balance.Balance 625 Rs/- (Actual balance is 645 but that card doesn't belong to SBI, so 20 Rs cut). He took out 100 Rs/-. We looked at him very wierdly bcoz we already has lots of cash wid us and again sid withdrawn 100 bucks. For that he said "jus for fun".
Now the balance became 485 (100 withdrawn + 35 for transaction coz its a different bank's atm). Suddenly he realised that if he maintains balance below 500 he has to pay a fine of 300 Rs/-
Now effectively, he took 100 Rs/- from 645 and left wid 285 Rs/-. lol "fun filled moment" for sid. he he he :D
We reached sid's house again and took dinner. We packed our lugguage. Our train is at 12:30 am. This time we don't want any more twists so we cross-checked everthing. We made sure that we didn't forget anything. we checked tickets, lugguage, cam, money etc.,. everything is perfect. We left sid's home early and reached the rly station at 11:30 itself.
All of are very tired. So everybody are planning to sleep in the train. It will reach hyd around 10 am, monday.
12:25 AM, Monday (In the train)
We got into the train. Somebody is sitting in our places. We kept the lugguage in under the berths. Meanwhile they are looking at us weirdly as if we are aliens. They asked us the berth numbers. To everyones surprise they showed the tickets bearing the same numbers, same date. Wait same berths and same date???? how can this be possible. We had a close look at their tickets train no: xxxx, date 26th.... They are perfect. Satish took out ours and had a close look at them. Train xxxx, date 25th. Satti told that they got into the train 1 day before and laughing.
Then we realised that itz already past 12, that means we took tickets for yesterday's train :O
We looked at each other. We got down the train and kept our luggage on the platform and kicked Pavan (coz he only booked our return journey tickets)... Poor Pavan, he kept his both hands on his buttocks while sleeping.... lol...
Happy Ending :x

We are very tense bcoz clock just struck 10, still anu n satti didn't turn up to da station. After 15 mins they reached the station. We scolded for being late (coz they have the journey tickets to Araku, yes we are go to araku). Then they told us the 'kahee mein twist' :x
Anu n satti are shopping. We dont have digicam. So they both went to central to buy one. At last they bought one and took dinner there itself. Right after seeing their watches (8:55 pm) they rushed to Begumpet rly station to get local train.
9:25 pm(Begumpet rly station)
They dont have time to take tickets and Somehow they managed to get into the train. Then frm nowhere came TT. lol... They paid 500 bucks as fine. Atlast they reached sec'bad rly station, platform 6.
