Apparently, it is clear from the discussion that the train Rani Chennamma Express doesn't stop at Yesvantpur Junction. anymore. So, on the next weekend, Mr. B again goes to Bangalore reason being his nephew, who has just started to crawl. Ab jaana to padega....! B went there. It was a big surprise to his elder engineer brother, Mr A and his sister-in-law. So everyone's happy. On Saturday
on B's journey back to hometown one such incident took place which failed their logic once again. This time , being corrected from previous bug , both the engineers compiled their code from Bangalore City Junction. The train left Bangalore Junction (Execution started). India was playing a semi-final on that day. Excited about it B started sending SMSs to his friends and automated services asking the score. And after 15-20 minutes train started slowing down, B was thinking it was the same scene when last time he was at Yesvantpur Junction. Train had slowed down but didn't stop, and he had missed it. But......suddenly train stopped. Rani Chennamma Express stopped at Yesvantpur Junction for complete
15 minutes. B was totally amazed and was laughing to himself. So, system ,kind of, broke down and logic failed once again.

The blog is a story based on two software engineers who believe in logic.Let's call the first one A ,so LOGICALLY second becomes B.B had gone to Bangalore for Rakhi. He was very excited as his brother and sister-in-law were blessed with a baby boy recently. That's why he was very keen to see his nephew crawling. He reached and had the greatest time with his nephew,brother and sister i.e sister-in-law in Bangalore.
After a stay of 4-5 days B had to get back to his native place. He had a ticket of train from Bangalore City to Miraj. This train, named Rani Chenamma Exp. stops at a junction which is very close to A's home. It is Yesvantpur Junction. So A came to see off his brother at Yesvantpur Junction. And after sometime B started to feel his pride about the way engineers think,about engineers' logic.
B was telling A that engineers are so talented. "The four years of engineering teach a man how to think. A man can think to his best only if he is an engineer. Because that's the education which makes him think in all the directions .A doctor cannot think in different ways. Like if there is any field then engineers can have some generalised idea as what will be its sub-fields.". On this A replied saying that "No. Definitely people other than engineers can think in different way but yes this is true that engineers have at least 1 % extra logic .I mean in every matter engineers think 1% extra logically."
B got very happy on this statement and started feel IT again. In this conversation they forgot that they had a train to catch. Then all of a sudden B looks at an engine which was entering into the station. Both of them ,wondered, went to the platform where train was going to stop. B checked his boogie number and berth quickly and waited for train to stop. Train started to slow down, but wasn't stopping at all. Then B hurried to catch the running train but A stopped him from doing so. And suddenly they realized that train has gained speed. When B looked at A,he stared to the Guard in the last boogie and got amazed by the GREEN signal in his hand. Train left the station. Still B was hoping that train might have gone further because of a problem and will come back. After asking to a number of people they came to know that RANI CHENAMMA DOESN'T HAVE A STOP AT YESVANTPUR! They were looking at the X mark on the train and laughing
They checked at the GPS and also checked the time table. Train had no stop at Yesvantpur Junction.So these two engineers with 1% EXTRA LOGIC had to leave station with laughing on their own logic.
