Episode 07: In The Train!!

Sorry for making u wait for long.I do admit that I am pretty late to post this episode.Actually the problem is, I was busy with my office stuffs.....

Here comes long awaited Episode-7!!!

No sooner the train stopped at the platform, all got clustered at the gate. Everyone was trying get in 1st with full effort as if there was kept gold medal for the 1st one. However we entered inside and felt a bit safe to get rid of hustle and bustle of Station. But we still had to struggle a lot to reach to our seat.Passing the narrow corriders, making way by pushing people and squeezing ourselves like sponge, we finally reached our destination,Berth No 27/28/29 of Coach No S3.


As our tickets got confirmed through RAC (Reservation After Cancellation), our seats were dispersed almost through out the train, 3 seats in S3, 2 in S9 and last one in S12. What a coincidence, if you observe ,the seat number decreases as coach no increases. To be a bit wise (instead to moving long way from S3 to S12), Srijan directly boarded on S12.We, remaining five, boarded on S3.


Though seats of Navin and Niru were in S3 itself as per tickets, we planned to let them sit in S9. So they two could enjoy privacy to some extent and could enjoy the train journey being together. As the passengers on board were not properly settled , we waited for a while.


It was already too late. Around 4.45am.We were still not feeling sleepy. But most of the passengers who boarded from previous station were already in deep sleep. It would not have been a good idea to chat and disturb fellow co-passengers .So we also decided to sleep.


I gave company to them (Niru & Navin) to find their seat in S9. It was long way from S3.We also had to cross the pantry coach. Most of the lights were off. In the dark corridor of compartment, we stumbled on luggage kept in the way. Once we reached S9, we had to take the help of mobile handset’s light to find out our berth. Finally we got 53 n 54 berth No. After making the arrangements for sleeping, I returned back to my seat telling them not to chit-chat so much.


When I came back, Pravin was clever enough to reserve the top berth and Diren was pretending to sleep in the middle berth. Then I had to comfort myself with the lower one. But I do enjoy the lower berth in fact. Though it was still hot inside in late night, the gentle breeze coming from the window helped me to sleep easily. I was so optimistic that i would dream something good about the trip.
