Rachana Ring Road Junction to Automotive Square Metro Station.Metro Ride

 Travelled by Metro from Rachana Ring Road Junction to Automotive Square Metro Station.

Rachana Ring Road Junction is on the Aqua Line of Nagpur Maha Metro which runs East to West.

Automotive Square Metro Station is on the Orange line which runs North to South.

Orange and Aqua Line cross at Sitabardi Metro Junction. This is the place where one has to disembark from Aqua Line and change over to Orange line to change the direction from East-West to North-South.

The stations and Sitabardi Metro Junction are as good as any in the world.

The signage is excellently thought out and executed. It is so good that you just have to look around and you can go from the Aqua to the Orange line by following the 'orange' footmarks painted on the platform. Once you approach the orange concourse signage on the walls directs you to the southern or the Northern platforms.

Enjoyed the ride thoroughly.

A Bit disappointed at the low usage of such an excellent public transportation system.

Few photos were taken during the ride.

Review - Villa167 Cafe.

 One of the friends of the better half arranged a kitty party for their group at this place.

With our better halves away for the party it was a kitchen holiday at home, so some of us decided we might as well have lunch at the same place. A small property. With seating arrangements made in the open air which may be ok for winters but for Nagpur summers it is a no-no. The main seating is on the first floor reached by a sort of hanging staircase thus seeking out maximum usable space in a limited area. A good job has been done as despite this, one does not feel cramped for space. With air conditioners on and defused lighting, The place had a cosy sort of feeling. Starters were paneer 65 and crispy veg. Man courses had creamy spinach pasta, Lasagna, corn cheese sandwiches and vegetarian rice stroganoff. For desserts, we had chocolate brownies and ice cream. The food was good. The Kitty people complained about very slow service. We had joined the party almost after 45 minutes to an hour so we had ok service The staff was courteous and helpful. A good place to eat continental food.
