Train Journey

Three hour train journey…

On that day I was travelling back from a tour back to home. The dealer GM came to see me off, before that we had lunch. In the lunch I opted for a veg thali but the service eng of the dealer said, sir the mutton prepared here is very tasty. And then after both the dealer person telling me sir please try it, it’s really very tasty. Then I also said ok let’s have a mutton and rice nothing else. Then after a waiting period of just fifteen minutes we received our mast awaiting & smelling mutton along with rice. Then we started having our food and seriously speaking the moment I took my first bite a thought came into my mind if I had said no I would have repented my decision of having vegetarian food that day. Anyways after having our lunch we moved towards railway station. They wanted to stay till the train leaves but I prompted them and told them no they should go back and carry out their work.

I went to the ticket counter and got the general ticket as I didn’t had my ticket booked as for me it is not decided where will be moving after my work is finished at a place. Then I had my ticket went inside the platform and saw in the display board that the train is a meager only 20 min late. That  was a bit surprising because this train has the history of min late by 1 hour at this particular station. Then there was announcement that the train line is clear and is coming at platform no 4. On hearing the announcement suddenly people in crowds started moving towards the foot over bridge for moving to platform no-4.Then searching for a person in a black coat called TTE for giving a berth. He took the ticket scribbled  something into it which on carefully getting eyes onto it saw S-7 caoch no and berth no 7 and very softly said 50 rupaiye do aur jahan seat mile adjust kar lo(give rs.50 and adjust yourself wherever you find a seat). After waiting for another 15 min from the announced time the train arrived and then we went for the seat given by the TTE then saw a lady sleeping in the berth provided by the TTE. I understood that need to find a place myself where one can take a seat and sit , suddenly in the next coach saw 4 student sitting, asked if I can sit there they said ok. On their positive reply there was a sigh of relief within me that finally I got a place to sit at least. Of the four student two were boys and two girls but they were just friends was clear when I was reaching my destination. One of the girls was sleeping on the upper birth. The other three of them were on the lower birth sitting and practicing for the test for which they were travelling. One of the boys in the blue t-shirt was a real dumbo .during the discussion he himself said I know I will not be able to clear the test. After this all three of them started his leg pulling.  But in between, after half an hour the girl on the top floor woke up & came down. She was really a gorgeous looking girl with very sharp features. A sharp nose with big and wide black eye and to top it all she a mole on the upper lip which was a killer. With short hair and fair complexion she was looking beautiful. The only lacking was a black dress she had been drop dead gorgeous. But in blue jeans and a white blue floral top she was too good looking. Nowadays these days the girls wear a low neck line top/t-shirt intentionally I suppose so that they can attract attention. First time when I look towards her was due to the low neck line only and a few minutes after that I saw her other beautiful feature. My mind started his thinking as how to start conversation but again it came into mind that she is sitting with her boyfriend. It was that just before getting down that her cell phone rang and that she is not engaged to anyone but by that time the train has reached its destination and I have to get down with just two minute stoppage time I had to hurry. But still then while getting down I thought of leaving a mark and then suddenly while getting my bag down it slipped and due to the sudden shaking of the train before halting I almost fall on her, and I felt her hand on my back and she also got her epithelial tear off of the thumb.

We made a mark for each other for a remembrance.  She may not remember me after the epithelial heels but her fingers on the my back I will feel for a long-long time to come.
