Journey on a winter's night

Journey in Indian trains has always been an EXPERIENCE for me. Recently when i was coming back from Banaras to Delhi, it was just another unique experience. Contrary to most markets, in trains it is the most expensive seats which are filled first. Being very lazy, I usually get cheap sleeper class tickets which are quite uncomfortable. haah .. Like I care.

Without making any unnecessary effort, I got reservation in sleeper class. I reached station in time (that is another story .. but not so exciting). People around me seemed nice. I bought a chips packet and water bottle (I already had food packed by mom). In a way I was destined to have a comfortable journey.

hmmm… usual Banaras station. people running in all directions … ok lemme make the story short. I opened my chips packet even before train had given a slightest hint of moving. I saw something terrible inside the packet and and decided to throw it away. It was a nice journey till Allahabad. The old lady beside me had already asked me if I could exchange her middle birth with my lower birth which I curtly declined with a villainous smile on my face.

okkk.. thats it for now. rest I will tell in my next blog. Bye Bye
