Yaaa,its true...goa to hyd connectivity is just a slip coach....:-D:-D..
But i remember one incident back in 2005...we alighted at hubli from the bza-ubl amravati and took a bus of kadamba from hubli to ponda in noon...and the journey was so scary that even now at present when i remember that,goosebumps come out...at every 500m-1km,there was a wreckage of accident vehicles...all around thick forests..and huge ups and down like a coaster ride....:-(
