It's 6:30 PM. I was eagerly waiting. I was mad. I want to get it by any means. Don't worry.It's not the serial "24". and I am not an assassin. I am just a software engineer. I wanted to go Delhi for vacation. My train was at 8:20 PM. My train ticket was not confirmed. My ticket got confirmed at 6:30. I get into a bus at 7:45 to reach railway station. I desperately wanted to be at station in time.The bus is on it's way.Can I make it?I have to go 20 KMs in an hour time . Can I make it? God help me. There was lot of traffic as it was a Friday. The bus was so packed that I had to stand on a single foot . I was at the door. Two beautiful girls were sitting adjacent to the door. The girl in the right was so beautiful that i was staring at her without my knowledge. All of a sudden I heard a voice "Bhaisaab thoda side dijiyega". Then i had to give way to couple of folks to get down. I had two bags with me. I requested the beautiful lady over there to keep my bag below her seat. She was very generous to me and allowed me to keep my bag under her seat. I was staring at her in the name of looking at my luggage. She was very beautiful. She could be a Bengali.. No man she is little dark, could be a southie. Tamil!! Kannad!! I was wondering where she is from. Then she started talking to the other girl beside her. It's Tamil. Oh man she is a Tamilian. What a beauty. I never seen such a beautiful Tamil girl.Wait, is she really a Tamil girl?I Know Tamil,but I am not a Tamilian. But she looks like a tamilian. Tring tring!!! It's my brother." Have you reached station? " He asked." Not yet" I replied. "Where are you?" He asked. I told him where I am. Oh my God It's 8 PM already. Can I reach the station in time . Hurry bus hurry. It was one of the worst ever traffic that day. Can I make it? Go go............ I was shouting in myself. At last I reached. It's 8:15. God is the train there.Please help me out. I was very anxious. A porter approached me and asked " Sir Rajdhani?" I said "yes".He said it's on platform No.8. It will cost you hundred. At any cost please take me there. The porter took my luggage in his shoulder. Both of us ran and we had to cross 7 platforms to reach platform No 8. To my agony I saw a red light very far. It's the light of the train's last coach. The porter says "Saab train to gaya". I could see the train leaving, still asked the porter "Sach me gaya". So foolish of me as I desperately wanted to be in the train. The porter says' "Hum jhooth kyun bolenge saab. Agar chahiye to jaada kimat maang lete." What to do now?Both of us were taking a deep breathe as we ran across the station. i got a call. I said "I missed the train". It was my brother .I took a deep breathe and asked the porter "Bhaiya ise aglewala station me pakad sakte h?" He replied "Nai Bhaiyya". Shit I missed the train. It's the first time I missed a train. I don't know whom to blame. Is it IRCTC, who confirmed my ticket so late or the Bangalore traffic or should I blame myself that I should have started early even if my ticket was not confirmed. Whatever I missed my train and had to return disappointed.
