writing after a long time and this time a very short one 

as my trip was decided on friday to kerala .. the fares was on peak on all buses . finally decided to take the sps non ac as fares was comparatively less and its long time being on it .. booked using redbus and payumoney  and finally my ticket was booked for 900 .
redbus showed a scheduled dept time of 5.45 pm . arrived at madiwala sps office at 5.40 . they mentioned 6 pm as dept in der boarding pass . a few luggages were loaded to the bus .i was waiting till the bus to start speaking with my friend . boarding done and finally the bus departed at 6.10pm . took the usual st.johns krupanidhi colg route to silk board .. took the betl flyover to ecity .. stopped at bommasandra for pickup and luggage for a long time .. proceeded further and then again after attibele toll a lot time was wasted for luggage loading . speed was good throughout the journey thou was slow at some places.. 

dinner stop was at hotel nandhini ( ex-uthayah ) accompanied by two suresh kallada non acs and A1 sleeper and few TN govt buses.. proceeded via thoppur omalur salem and kumarapalayam . went inside perundurai town for tea break . sps sleeper was givin company . later it was full race between these two sps all way till palakkad . driver took a different route from perundurai till palakkad via tiruppur town. proceeded via mannuthy angamaly vytilla .. took left to kottayam via thrupithura etumanoor . took bypass from changanashery to thiruvalla . 9.15 departed padikkal b9r was just behind us all way till thiruvalla . it lead ahead at tvla and proceeded to pathanamthitta .. followed by us . the driver was slow then .. dropped me at pta at 9.20 am 
saw shama b9r reaching at 930 am when waiting for my local bus to home
