Mumbai to Hyderabad

I went to Hyderabad on 21st July by bus.

Journey Details:
Travels: HKB, muli axle, volvo, semi sleeper
Time: 8:45 pm vashi old toll naka
Date: 20th July 2012, Friday

Journey experience:
I reached Vashi stop at 7:45 pm. Had  dinner and reached the boarding point by 8:30 pm. The bus arrived late as expected but just half an hour late. 9:15pm the bus  arrived at Vashi. Bought Water bottle, Chips packet and boarded the bus. I booked a window seat, fourth row from the front. Bus Started in another 5 mins. My next seat  was not occupied. Felt heppy. Occupied both seats. FM started in the bus. I was under the impression that they will start movie in some time. Suddenly the bus boy  started distributing water bottle, biscuit packet and chips packet. This was a suprise. When co passengers enquired about the movie the boy replied that TV is not  working. Maybe the bottle and eatables are given as a compensation.
                                            We crossed Kalamboli and still no one occupied my next seat. I was convinced that I was lucky.  Looking out of glass window and observing the speed of the bus by passing vehicles. Reached Khalapur Toll plaza around 10:20 pm. We are Travelling on Mumbai-Pune  Express way. Inida's best expressway. Crossed many tunnels on the way. It was great experience. Reached Talegaon Toll Plaza at 11:08 pm. By 11:20 pm reached central  park Dhaba. Food at the Bhaba was ok but as usual expensive. We started around 11:52 pm from the dhaba. Again journey started, enjoying the bus speed. Crossed Pune  university. It was huge campus. Very well built. Then crossed NABARD, Meridian hotel and bus finally came to a halt at Graficon Arcade, Pune by 12:27 am. Only one  person boarded the bus and he sat beside me. This was unexpected. My happiness hadnt last long. Bus started again. It went on went on. Not Sure when I was asleep. Woke  up when the bus stopped at Naseeb dhaba for morning break by 06:07 am.Entered Andhra Pradesh area. Reached Mehdipatnam last stop in hyderabad around 9:45 am. It was a  safe journey. All is well!
