December 2013, Monday
We
woke up at 7 am. I was not in a mood to go back again to join that corporate
rat race. As soon as I woke up, my mind is full of office, work informing
colleague about my leave. I went upstairs looking for some peace. Hampi is a
very beautiful town and our guest house offered very good view. I and wife took some pictures. Some
foreigners were doing Yoga in other guest houses nearby. We talked to some of
them. I told them how much I appreciate the way they travel. I asked them how
they manage to travel for so long. One of the guys Tommy told me that they work
for some time quit their work and then join again. Isn’t it interesting?
He
was in India from last 6 months and travels extensively to Kashmir, Shimla,
Amritsar, Delhi, Rajasthan, Dharamshala, Kerala and many other places. We
exchanges emails and blog addresses.
Finally,
we took a bath and checkout at 9am and had our breakfast at Venkateswara
restaurant.

Then
we took a bus to Hospet and From Hospet, we took a bus to Tungabhadra Dam.
Tungabhadra Dam is in Hospet and perfect place to kill some time before we can
catch out train at 3 pm. For more pictures of Tungabhadra Dam, click here.
Dam was also very scenic especially 1 location where I
took power nap of 20 minutes to get recharged.

Please
note that there is also cloak room in Tungabhadra Dam so if you find a huge
queue in the cloak room of the railway station, you can use this one.
We
reach railway station at 2pm. Our train was the same from which we arrive. It
was scheduled to reach Hyderabad at 5:30 am in the morning. It confuses me that
the same train take 9:30 hours from Hyderabad to hospet but taking 14 hours
from Hospet to Hyderabad until we reach Guntakal. At Guntakal, I came to know
that the train will stop here for 5 hours and will join another train. It was a
slip route train. But, nowhere it is mentioned that it will stop for 5 hours in
between.
