two there.Then arises the quandary, i.e getting to SBC from where I can catch a GR to KCVL.Please suggesting a connecting link.
The other alternative would be to take the INDB-PUNE Exp and boarding the PUNE-SC Shatabdi from there,but the I would like to avoid 'normal' rakes altogether.

Hmm Bhaiya,I guess this time I will have to compromise somewhere. As much as I would like to follow your initial suggestion,getting a sanction from home for it would be a nightmare,as an upper limit of 4 trains has been imposed. What do you think,would taking the KSK from SC to SBC be a good idea ?
BTW I am eternally in your debt, in light of you having lost precious sleep over my niggling travel concerns. :)

Uhmm.. yeah. KSK is good.
And don't mention that. Internet was boring since evening till i stumbled upon this. Your screen-name caught my eye. Have to find ways to wait till the Season Finale is out tomorrow. This post came in handy. ;)

Hey man!
Two quick points. One-DD is not for guys like you and me. But just do try it out once for the shortest journey time just to experience it. Two- KSK from SC to SBC in the day time is the most boring journey I can think of. The train has a lethargic run in the last 5-6 hours of its journey.
