Karan, the hill is just off the old Bombay - Pune highway. Not sure if the expressway uses the same alignment though. Its funny you mention 'Mile Sur' cause I was actually present for the shoot at this very spot! In fact on the same day, the crew shot Bhimsen Joshi at 2 locations in Lonavla/Khandala including the old Parsi family (Jeejeboy?) owned house that overlooks Monkey Hill.

Wow! Is the hill where you are perched easily accessible or you did a bit of mountaineering?

This is the Shimoga/Hubli ( Ex. Shimoga/Harihar) Fast Passenger. The train gets separated at Birur(RRB). The reason for this patronage is that it matches the speed of a bus journey at less than half that fare.
For some reason the locals call this train "Mahalakshmi Passenger" probably its a BG reincarnation of an MG train. Dilip Setlur
