The bad luck of Azad Hind has been on the Jhelum Express for the past 3 days, running late every day from Pune Junction.

Azad Hind ka shraap ab pass ho gaya hai Jhelum Express par. Last 3 din se yeh train din mein der se start ho rahi hai, specially Pune Jn se.

Alright, so here's the deal - got back from MAO on train 12218 CDG KCVL KSK. It was hella late, like an hour plus! I was so ticked off at the controllers, man. Everyone's trains were announced except ours. I was chilling at PF 1, then bam - they said the Konkan Kanya would roll in there. What a mess! MAO MAQ VB was at PF 2, and Mangala showed up at 3. Still no sign of my train. After VB left, I thought maybe it's coming to 2, but nah - 22653 TVC NZM SF was supposed to show up. The announcements were terrible and I was going nuts. Finally, I just guessed 3, and yup, there it was at 3. Departed from MAO with a hardcore jolt, and that rocking motion stayed all journey long. Plus, there was a flat wheel driving me even more crazy. Managed to catch some Z's and made it to ERS around 8:30 this morning. Probably the rubber thingies on the coupler setup were shot. That might've messed up things in my coach. Oh, and here are some pics: 1. Sunrise @ Bharatapuzha river, 2. OG cab UBL WDG #12219 and WDG 4D #70506 rolling in with a BOXN rake.
