Mysore - Bangalore non stop bus service

Yesterday I had to travel from Mysore to Bangalore. So I went to Mysore Bus station to catch a bus to Bangalore. It was around 7.15 PM. I heard that there are so many Volvo buses available to Bangalore from Mysore bus station. But I couldn’t find any Volvo going Bangalore from Mysore. After waiting for few minutes I decided to take another non stop bus. Even though there was a big queue in the ticket counter and I managed to get one ticket and seat. The bus fare was really great, just 72 Rupees. But when we started our journey, this non stop bus has started stopping in other bus stations. In one of the bus station (not sure which one it is), it waited for around 15 minutes. I think the driver went to take Tea/snacks/food. Anyway when I reached Majestic it was 10.45 PM.

Is all these stops officially part of this non stop bus’s route? If so why it is called non stop bus? If not is that driver really hungry? If he is going to eat like this, I can’t imagine how fat he will become! Every one hour eating something.

This is the main problem with Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation. They never care about the timing. They will start whenever they feel. They will reach the destination whenever they feel. Luckily no bus would start on time and no bus would reach the destination in time.

Google favicon changed.

Google’s favicon got changed. Now the favicons looks like small letter ‘g’, instead of the old Capital G. I was seeing this chnage for the last couple of days. Seems like it is going to be their new favicon.

Personally I like the old favicon. The new icon looks like a ‘no image’ avatar icon in most of the websites.
