Kurla LTT Mumbai

9.3.10

For the first time, I took a train out of Lokmanya Tilak Terminus ( Kurla, Mumbai ) on 5.3. After finishing my work at Godrej, Vikhroli by 5pm, I had helluva time to spend till 2240 for my train leaving for Bangalore. LTT has a main concourse that is quite spacious but looks like a unoccupied municipal fish market. Spent close to an hour in this ambience. Suddenly it dawned on me that there is a waiting room. Pleasant surprise! This blessed thing is air conditioned and tucked away so discretely that common junta wont even know about it.

There is a train around 2030 that goes to Kolkota. Till such time the loud Bongs dominate this room. Interesting lot these Eastern Indians are! Their loud talk on the mobiles is the equivalent of drying underwear in public.

Once this train chugs out the Southies take over. the next happening thing is the train leaving for Coimbatore via Bangalore.Half the chaps will be whining how they are on this train as a last resort. First preference for Bangalore is Udyan, followed by Chalukya. Only if you dont get either of these then you condescendingly take this Coimbatore train. More on the journey by this train in my next blog.
