MMTS in the twin cities

MMTS is now a in thing in SC and HYB, people have taken to MMTS like fish who have been out of water. When it was introduced on Aug 9th 2003 at Bhoiguda side entrance by Shri Lal Krishna Advani it was a huge event. I still remember the day when i went to SC by 9 am and was frisked by the security and asked to fire a flash in my camera, luck had it that it did not fire they gave me that " I will rip you apart look"!!!!!!!. Then heaven graced me and the flash fired and marked my entry to the world of MMTS in SCR. I heard all the Blah blah by the netas but one speech i did listen to was the speech by Stanley Babu the then GM of SCR , who was very good and capable in my opinion. After a lot of stage hogging by netas like Advani and others including Chandra Babu Naidu went on a trial run on the rake arranged for them and people were left outside.The rake came back at 2 pm that day and the first train which was supposed to be run at 11 am started at 15.55 pm amid loud fanfare and cheering made me think how would have been the day at Mumbai when the trains started in India.

Here is a pic of the event
