23.14.. Six minutes early

Dual diesel wdm 4's

---

Leaving on time. Hoping maintains the schedule till the end.

Excellent speed.. Dual diesels rocking.. Already looking like a memorable journey..
There are these moments when you can actually feel the speed at which ground is moving beneath, this is one such moment..
If someone asks which is better diesels or electric I will definitely go with the diesel now

Nope you cant.. I didn't realise it till it got closer. May be tomorrow at bza

00.45 two minutes early.. As per my mobile timings
Its like a music orchestra going on such a sweet sound..
Leaving pgrl ..

Omg.. Such a acceleration.. In under three minutes we must be going at at least 80..
Next station guntur is at 2 hours away but considering we just did over 100 km under 100 minutes we will be at guntur at least half an hour early..
Its going to long night I guess. I totally lost my sleep.. And feeling hungry.. Hyderabad alpha hotel donut is going to rescue .. My fellow passengers going to think me as a strange person eating at this ungodly hour..
