First time behind a white engine and I found the run, acceleration to be absolutely mediocre. There was nothing special.

Trivia - Part 4

Sunday trivia (Target 1800h).

If I took the shortform of 1995 from AJJ, get down at the third possible junction, choose T instead of S, board the astrologically 'star' studded express probably hauled by direct current engine, unmixed, which will be the fourth city that I will encounter? How?

-Ara.

Answer: Coimbatore (95, WJR, KPD, JTJ, TPT, 66'27', SA, ED, TUP and CBE)

(fairly simple) Weekend trivia:

'Why' should we lose waist fat quickly at the famous 'fitness centre'? If I were to 'give money' before the 'big drink', see 'herds grazing in the meadows', meet the 'lotus-eyed-lady', say 'cha' after eating betel nut and end up having 'peach' flavoured imported' tea - what section did I travel? Total points = 1 section + 7 stations = 8.

Answer:

MRTS - VLCY, Taramani, Perungudi, Mandaiveli, Mundagakanniamman Koil, Chepauk, Beach.
