Bangalore Rajdhani services

This was the second (and probably the last) time I was travelling in Bangalore Rajdhani from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Bangalore City. I decided to keep notes of all they give on the journey as accessories. So, I made notes in my copy whenever I received anything from the train staff.
