Tatkaal and Beyond

 I was trying for tatkaal from multiple accounts, even from one of my colleagues’ account. She said that she’s lucky, so I told OK, and then we should try from your account also. Believe me she proved to be lucky for me. From her account only I saw that there were 14 tickets available, so I clicked on confirm, made payment and finally when the ticket came, it was in waiting list 27. I am not sure how this site works, but I was shocked how this is possible.

With God’s grace, my ticket got confirmed and I started travelling, but I didn’t told anyone, I thought Its ok to reach one day before, What’s so big deal in that, also I had some other plans goin on Shhh.


I tried to leave office early; still I got late as usual. I came home, had a bath, because I didn’t had bath from last 2 days….Dont think that I am Aalsi. Paani nahi thaa room par. After shower, had my dinner and ran for train. I boarded train just 5min before, it left station. I arranged my luggage safely, sat for some time and headed for sleep. It’s necessary for me to have proper sleep after my shift due to the nature of my job. Believe me staring at screen for 9 hours is not a joke, may be a routine. In morning, I tried to sleep for more and more time, since in train I don’t have lots of work to do.

In morning time, mid* people came and started asking for money. The person who was there next to my berth said “Only ENGLISH, Only English”. I didn’t understood, how can a person living in India knows only English, neither Hindi nor any other language, I thought leave it, why should I care. I again slept. After some time, I woke lowered my berth (as I was sleeping in middle berth).

That “only English” person offered me biscuits, I said “no Thanks”. Let me tell you about few interesting characters of my coach now, one person were “Only English-security guard”, a Tamil guy-army driver, a Christian guy-music businessman and of course me-a computer Engineer.  
I will unveil the mystery of “Only English” guy and rest story in next post.


*I hope you understood, whom I am calling mid people.
