True! boiled eggs in curry without light frying gives feel of chewing rubber, I too opt for veg as paneer is very much better to eat...
Thanks for the tip!

Your info matches with my recent personal experience on 12245 Duru Baby (& 12246 also) but my train faced a possible chain pulling by some of it's passengers at KRPuram Station so that they could get down to reach at their destinations in Bangalore (BENGALuru) Suburbs faster than YPR :-)

Sleeper toilets are also clean enough. 2A is ought to be clean because of less usage. But SL did not have mugs in many washrooms!
