Where to Start…..A Much awaited Trip? …. No… A Trip to experience the Modern flange of Indian Railways?? .. No Wait... Let it be Simple yet Classy … A TRIP ONBOARD THE FASTEST TRAINS OF INDIA - THE VANDE BHARAT EXPRESS

Mumbai CSMT- Hazrat Nizamuddin Push Pull Rajdhani Express. The Vande Bharat Express promised me another exciting but varied journey with lots to look forward to.
So my Trip started to take shape when I had to go to Kodaikanal for some urgent work. I flew to Madurai from Mumbai by an Indigo flight. After I had finished my work there, it was time to look out for options to book my tickets for journey back home in Mumbai. A random search for a Train from Madurai to Mumbai showed big Waitlists with lowest confirmation probabilities and a rough calculation with the available quotas gave me a clue to drop the plan. The flights from Madurai to Mumbai wouldn’t help me either. Seats in Convenient flights were all gone and all was available was in some late evening flight with a costly seat.
A quick check for a flight from Namma Bengaluru to Mumbai gave me the respite and it was then things started falling in place. I knew if it was Bengaluru then I had a chance to travel in a beastie that I was looking forward too viz the newbie Vande Bharat Express which will not only help me reach Bengaluru but also make my long awaited dream to try this Vande Bharat Express to materialize. Now I was quizzing myself with lots of unanswered questions in mind. How to reach Chennai Central from Kodaikanal? Any Train that could drop me off atleast 1 hour prior to departure of Vande Bharat Express? Will I get a confirmed Ticket?
For now I will stop here and will soon be back.

Yo, where should I begin... A much-awaited trip? Nah... How about a trip to check out the cool vibes of the Indian Railways? Wait... Let's keep it simple yet classy... A trip onboard the fastest trains in India - the Vande Bharat Express.
It's been like forever since I wrote a trip report. Not that I didn't want to, but all the trips have been pretty boring, except for my April 2019 trip on the newbie Rajdhani Express from Mumbai CSMT to Hazrat Nizamuddin. The Vande Bharat Express promised me another exciting and diverse journey to look forward to.
So, my trip started taking shape when I had to go to Kodaikanal for some urgent stuff. I hopped on an Indigo flight from Mumbai to Madurai. After finishing my work there, I had to figure out how to get back home to Mumbai. I randomly checked for a train from Madurai to Mumbai, but there were big waitlists and low chances of confirmation. I did some rough calculations and realized that wasn't gonna work. Flights from Madurai to Mumbai weren't helpful either. All the convenient flights were fully booked, and the only option left was some expensive late evening flight.
Just when things were looking bleak, I checked for a flight from Namma Bengaluru to Mumbai and it gave me a glimmer of hope. If I could make it to Bengaluru, then I had a chance to ride the beastie I was really looking forward to - the newbie Vande Bharat Express. Not only would it get me to Bengaluru, but it would also be a dream come true to finally experience this train. Now, I had a bunch of unanswered questions floating in my mind. How do I get from Kodaikanal to Chennai Central? Is there a train that can drop me off at least 1 hour before the Vande Bharat Express departs? Will I even get a confirmed ticket?
Alright, I'll pause here for now and be back soon.

Kaha se shuru karein....Ek bahut intezaar wala trip?...Nahi...Indian Railways ka modern flavour experience karne ke liye trip?...Nahi yaar...Chalo simple par classy ho jaye...INDIA ke SABSE TEZ TRAINS ke saath ek trip - VANDE BHARAT EXPRESS par.
Bohot saal ho gaye hai tab se jab maine trip report likhi thi. Not because main nahi likhna chahta tha, par sabhi trips boring hi thi, bas April 2019 ki trip yaad hai jab main Rajdhani ki 22221 Mumbai CSMT-Hazrat Nizamuddin Push Pull Rajdhani Express par travel kiya tha. Vandae Bharat Express ne mujhe ek nayi aur exciting journey ki ummeed dilayi hai.
Ab trip shape lena suru hua jab mujhe Kodaikanal jaana tha urgent kaam ke liye. Mumbai se maine Indigo flight se Madurai tak travel kiya. Kaam pura hone ke baad mujhe tickets book karne ke liye options dhundhne the Mumbai wapas ki journey ke liye. Madurai se Mumbai train search ki toh mujhe waitlist dikh gayi, confirmation ki probability bhi kam thi, aur available quotas se rough calculation karne pe samajh aaya plan drop karne ka. Madurai se Mumbai flights bhi help nahi kar sakte the. Convenient flights ke seats sab book ho chuki thi aur bas kuch mahenge seats late evening flight mein thi.
Namma Bengaluru se Mumbai ka flight check karne pe mujhe araam mila aur tabhi sab cheezein apne jagah pe aa gayi. Mujhe pata tha Bengaluru ho toh mauka hai ek beastie ki ride karne ka jiska besabri se intezaar kar raha tha, Vande Bharat Express. Jo mujhe Bengaluru pohochane ke saath saath meri lambi intezaar wali khwaish ko bhi poora karne ka mauka degi. Ab mere dimaag mein bohot saare unanswered sawaalon ki parakast thi. Kaise pahunchu Kodaikanal se Chennai Central tak? Koi train hai kya jo mujhe Vande Bharat Express ke chhode kam se kam 1 ghante pehle? Kya mujhe confirmed ticket milega?
Abhi bas yahi tak, jaldi laut aunga.

Very well written travelogue sir, felt like we were traveling with you.
One feedback: The experience would have been even better if it was in a single part just to maintain the continuity and have the readers engrossed.
