I am back in Bangalore after my Cataract surgery last year!
To reach Madras Central to board Mysur express (13.35) I left my house at OMR at 11.AM about 2&half hours earlier. Trying OLA ( தலைய பிச்சிண்டு) - none available - obviously busy or rush hour - Luckily a Ola booked after 15 minutes struggle - It was a Nano - No choice -
Surprisingly it was roomy 2 strolly stuffed neatly in the boot and other light hand luggages put on the front seat next to driver ok - huge leg room better than other bigger cars - I feel it should have replaced our unsafe Autos - but failed .What could be the reason? It was raining the driver ably navigated through water logged roads He maneuvered Nano like an autoriksha in small lanes by lines to avoid delays on OMR Thirvanmayur & signals(more than a dozen) and safely put me exactly in Central at 13.15!
This train is nothing new Old Brindavan express New Name extended to Mysur - C2 is almost at the tail end i.e We don't walk all along the platform .
Arrival at Banglore Cantt.. at 7 .50 late by 15 mts But to exit you have to walk along the platform - not easy for sr.citizen - There is no foot over bridge in Cantt. - that's a blessing , like Madras Central!
Out of station - nightmare to cross across the road to car park - so my son brought the Car across the road the no parking area and picked me up - the traffic Constable constantly whistling !
Reached home after an hour of driving in chaotic traffic!
In Madras I switch on my Volts manipulating the remote to comfortable temp. Here there is no need for AC in fact there is no AC in this house! Only fans that are manipulated by remote and I put that in stand by mode ! Good night 17-10 2019
Browsing again tomorrow!
