Last weekend
i had plans to go home for the weekend but then it was cancelled at the last moment as one of my newly married friends fixed his reception on Saturday...and had to attend it as he was flying to US on Wednesday...
the reception was at Walajapet some 2 hrs before Chennai...on the Vellore-Chennai highway...and he told us that it would take only 4hrs to reach there from B'lore...so we happily started at 1pm, got him a gift and went to the bus stand at 2.30...and the conductor says it takes 7 1/2 hrs to Vellore and another 45 mins to Walajapet...now wat the h@#K? arnd 8 hrs travel? and how r we supposed to reach there before the reception gets over at 9.30pm? so we thot that instead of taking a single bus to Vellore we would split the journey...that makes sense as these long distance buses generally stop arnd 1/2hr to 45mins for rest...
so we went to Hosur...then from there to Vellore (very slow this guy was....2 weeks back i was in the same road on a RE and did 120kmph....he was driving the bus at 60kmph...but got to see the movie 12B...decent one...) and when we reached Vellore it was already 8.30...and by the time we got a bus to Walajapet...it was 8.45...we were running short of time...but this bus was a little faster... we reached W.pet at 9.20 and took a rick to the Kalyanamandapam...
and there we were...late...everything was over...and the bride and the groom were having their dinner...and we went straight to the dinner hall...so funny it was...and it was the first time when i went to eat before i could wish the couple :) was so embarassing...most of their relatives were there and one of my friends who had come down from Chn dint get many items in the menu when he sat for eating...he had come very early...was waiting just to meet us...so he was sitting with us and was eating all the things he dint get the first time ;) so had some fun at his expense and went to wish the couple...took some snaps and then waited for him to finish all his formalities...thank got we had company with some small kids playing with us...his sister and his cousins...
our plan was to return to B'lore on the same nite but then the groom made us stay that nite and we started only on the next morning...again another embarassment...we were the first to eat the breakfast...everything rite from the stove to our plates...somehow we finished it and moved quickly...we were dropped off at the railway station...Walaja Road...and this was first time i was travelling with an unreserved tkt...but talked to the TC and got into the reserved coach...got a seat at Katpadi...and then there was no one to claim the seat...so he let me sit in it and guess was he took only 20bucks for it...i was very surprised...my friend dint get one...so alternated btw sitting and standing...
So wat the the moral of the story:
train is faster than the bus ;)
we made it in 4hrs by train...had some nice sleep after reaching home
sleep is very important u see...
