Imagine a line which has been drawn on a map and all the stations on that line have been marked with an "X". The name of the stations have been written alongside their "Xs" . Now consider the case of Cuddapah on such a map. This would mean that the word "CUDDAPAH" and its corresponding "X" have been written next to each other if we assume that "CUDDAPAH" has been written to the left of its corresponding "X". Throw in a little inconsistency in spacing between the station name and the "X" and we can assume that the trailing "H" of "CUDDAPAH" and the "X" on the map are adjacent to each other. Now consider a clerk who has been assigned the enviable task to create codes for the stations on that line. The clerk is running through the stations one at a time along the line and creating the codes...
more... one by one (remember these were pre-computerisation times). Cuddapah comes along and the clerk sees the "H" and the "X" next to each other. Perhaps it was getting late in the evening.
And thereby we get an "HX".

please wait...Translate to EnglishSo basically, there's a line on a map with stations marked by "Xs" and their names written next to them. Cuddapah station's name and "X" are written close together, and when a clerk was creating codes for the stations, they saw the "H" and "X" next to each other and got lazy so they made the code "HX".
please wait...Translate to HindiSocho ek line ko imagine karo jo ek map par draw ki gayi hai aur saare stations us line par "X" se mark kiye gaye hain. Stations ke naam unke "Xs" ke saath likhe gaye hain. Ab socho Cuddapah ka case uss map par. Yeh matlab hai ki agar hum maan le ki "CUDDAPAH" ke corresponding "X" ke left mein likha gaya hai. Thoda sa spacing ka inconsistency dalo station name aur "X" ke beech mein aur hum maan sakte hain ki "CUDDAPAH" ke trailing "H" aur map par "X" adjacent hain. Ab socho ek clerk ko uss line ke stations ke liye codes create karne ka enviable kaam assign kiya gaya hai. Clerk ek baar me ek station ko line ke saath daudta jata hai aur ek ek karke codes create karta hai (yaad rakho ye pre-computerisation ke time the). Cuddapah aata hai aur clerk ko "H" aur "X" saath mein dekhta hai. Shayad sham ho rahi thi.
Aur yahi se humein "HX" milta hai.
