Trivia - part 2

1. Which Subbulakshmi Express passes through a jungle with a pond, reading fatty non-milk panneer tabloid with a starting spelling mistake, seeing dumb peacocks, red banks, a hard rock cafe that sells fried chicken-dogs, a town with closed doors, a town with three 'mines' and a serpentine temple to reach the virgin lady?



Answer: 2633 Kanniyakumari Exp (MS, CTM, TZD, MTL, SNDI, KFC, SRT, NNN, NCJ, CAPE).

2. This train has the name of a district. It starts from doordarshan kendra, passes through mass killings, a tank with raw fruit town, meeting somewhat-sexy actress whose cupid husband wears arrow shirts and ends up his journey at a coastal town?


Answer: Venad Express (Wayanad, TVC, QLN, KYM, TCR, SRR)


3. If I were to take a Mysore's favourite train that does not go to Mysore, get down at last, cross over to meet an ancient magician taking the holy bath in the Northern town, where am I? And how did I go there?


Answer: 2639 Brindavan Exp, 2725 Siddhaganga Exp (MAS-SBC-UBL).

4. If I board an originating train after taking a bottle of whisky, see a road that leads to water-less summer mirage, meet a drunkard named B. Shastri, drench my legs in Marina, pass through paddy fields, a town that welcomes you, an LPG city that makes milk, see a five finger distance, burning them in raw fire to meet thousand Imams, what train am I in?

Answer: 2651 TN Sampark Kranti Exp (MDU, KQN, LLI, MSB, NLR, KMM, BPL, JHS, AGC, NZM).
