Ranjith’s Castle

We traveled from Bangalore to Erode on last Sunday. We boarded the train in B’lore @ 6:15 am. The train crossed the Dharmapuri around 8:30 AM and I was on train on this line for the first time. It was a wonderful view out with full of hills and valleys to watch. Nature looked more attractive that it was able to move my eyes off a beautiful gal near me on to it. The train runs on the track laid at the edges of the ghats. Will really love to travel on the track on a sunny evening around 5 to 6 PM, when the golden rays of the dusking sun falls on it!!!

A couple of days back, I went to one of the Fuel Station to get a little of petrol in a bottle for filling in my Bike. The bunk was one of the famous once in Chennai. The particular booth had around 4 pumps for petrol. A row of bikes were standing in one of the pump for filling. I went there and I was directed to the other set of pumps. When the person at the one of the pumps, the person at the other end instructed him to fill it from the alternative pump. I got the 1 litre of petrol - 30 ml [approx.] in my can.

I was wondering if the pump which seemed to have the best measure has 30 ml less, what about the rest of the pumps and the fate of the people visiting those stations.

Also we have visited Stations that can fill 40 litre in a 37 litre tank of Car which already had a couple of litres of diesel. What an excellent business…

Be selective on your booths.

Thanks,

We were traveling to Neyveli last week for a friend’s wedding by car. A friend of mine lost his wallet in one of the motels we stopped by on the GST. We did not realize the misplacement till we attended the marriage and started to return. We suspected the motel halt and headed there on our return journey. We inquired the motel reception and we found that the purse has been handed over by some unknown person to the motel reception. We did not find any cash inside it, but all the credit cards were present. The motel wallah told that he tried all the numbers and none of them worked. I cross checked my purse and I do have only my mobile number in my purse and no other contact number. Please make sure you do have enough contact infos inside your Wallet. Only the wallet will return and not your money. Your VOIP phone numbers or your internet contact info won’t be the right things to be kept.
