After loco reversal train was set to its non stop journey till manmad through the soils of rural Maharashtra, I was also excited to see the black fertile soil famous for its cotton, onion, and groundnuts along with grapes. When I went to S2 for charging my mobile phone, I really realized that our Indian Railway plays a vital role in maintaining Unity and Diversity, the maxm passengers were Kashmiri people returning from Bangalore from a religious get together ceremony in Islam.
In a single train I met with ”Kannada, Telugu, Marwari, Marathi, UP, Haryana and Kashmiri people..”, happily interchanging their thoughts which was more through expressions than words and were mixed with each other as friends since ages….

The train had a crossing with Goa Exp at Belapur and Very soon train made its unscheduled halt at Kopargaon, as i felt it wasnt such a gd station.
When train reached Manmad, i just went to the purchasing of raisins, and i had very tasty pomegranate seeds with sprinkled spices along with vada pav. Both were really tasty, not just to say.
The train's loco link was changed to Wap now, and when everyone was enjoying Manmad's tasty item, train started and gave run like anything till Jalgaon, where it slowed...

Bhusawal, Bsl, one of the finest stations enroute, hot Masala Dosa, fruits, Bananas were available on platform itself, I was desperate to shampoo my hairs as I was tired with long travel, the stall on pf which is a book stand was having shampoo oil along with medicines. The cleaning of train was done at Bsll. The train then started its non stop journey till Itarsi, passing through terrains of Satpura.
I was busy in evng tea and snacks along with my co pax at my bay. The two marathi pax, that boarded from pune, one was pune based n other was Ratnagiri based, we all were speaking in marathi, and one by one we spoke Vidarbha Marathi, Pune Marathi and Konkani...

It is a misconception that these surnames are in Maharashtra only. These are very common in Central and Northern parts of Karnataka. Out of 10 homes one can find a surname of Kulkarni / Deshpande / Joshi / Patil in 8-9 homes. And many of them doesn't have any link with Maharashtra.
