I really want to talk about the life here, but i haven't finished talking about my journey. So, i shall continue(from after boarding the train and taking photos):
So, the train started. It starts off real slow. If you are outside, you can follow the train at normal walking speed to sprinting for upto about 1min. So it takes quite longer to accelerate. There were 2 stations near bangalore between which the train went at about human sprinting speed. Then, i was sitting by the window, looking out at the sceneries. There wasn't much to see at night, so i felt quite bored. We'ld reach our destination at only 1pm the next day, so i decided to go to sleep. And i forgot to mention- Since the train was late, we managed to have our dinner before the train started. There is a toilet and washbasin, together with seats, which you can turn into comfy beds when sleeping. Here's a picture i took:

See the 2 blue chains suspending the bed in the middle? These chains can be taken off, allowing the middle bed to become the surface to rest your back when you are sitting on the bed below. I took this pic in the morning. I felt like sleeping at about 10am, just before our early lunch.I woke up really early and took some pics of the scenery. I couldn't take the sunrise, forgot the reason why... During the night, our compartment had a few people travalling with us. They were talking to my mom and grandpa. I just smiled when i was introduced and didn't talk much, as usual. but the thing is that 'few people" gave me a bad impression of themselves by the way they were dressed and talked among themselves, although they were very polite to my mom and grandfather. Since i felt suspicious and didn't sleep till about 1150 at night, when they got off the train. and did i mention that they were travelling without a valid ticket? The train official came in only afterwards to check our tickets. My mom insisted that i keep my camera and hp in her handbag, which she has managed to camouflage very well. But i managed to 'steal' back my hp after a while. Oh ya- I got a SIM card here for my hp. here are the pics i took during the journey:
It's not a volcano, it's just the clouds blocking the top of the mountain
The train, curving it's way through
