Sunday morning we went to the Banashankari Railway Office and purchased two First Class AC tickets on the Rajdhani Express to New Delhi. We ran various errands and notified people of our travel plans as well as packed. We took an auto rickshaw from the house to the Bangalore City Junction railway station. We found the station crowded with people bustling everywhere. We proceeded towards our designated platform and found our designated cabin and berths. We were ecstatic to find out that we were allocated the only private cabin in the whole train. Upon boarding we were each greeted by the train manager who presented us with flowers and candy. Afterwards, a gentleman brought us our sheets and towels for the next 36 hours. Latter in the evening we were served vegetable soup and a wonderful thali meal. We retired after dinner to our beds.
Monday morning we were awoken for 6:30 tea and coffee. We passed many rice paddy fields and observed the workers in the field as we ate breakfast. The landscape was beautiful and varied throughout the day. The meals were delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in our private cabin.
