Atrocious Journey

The head light of the train was burning slowly the darkness, to visualizing the railway tracks and creating deviant sound entire platform. Our hearts were pumping high rate and got sweating as train was approaching towards platform. To get the seat in general compartment means - you have to take over the throng of the people.

We all squirmed to get the seat but all in no avail. We were rummaging around the whole compartment like hungry lion to get at least small space. Finally we reconciled at petite space near to the toilet – it stunk under our noses. Around more than three hundred percent people occupied the compartment- guessed what the situation. Almost first part of the compartment occupied by five young guys who were playing cards and amusing themselves by using obnoxious languages which creating irritation to the other passengers. I couldn’t have been tolerated very long time and started warning to them not using foul language either I called police. But those stubborn guys didn’t listen to my single word and started using more abusive language which had no sense and molesting the women by their staring eyes. After hearing that, our guys no ways controlled and got the opportunity playing boxing with them- started mashing, dashing shows within the compartment. Everyone knows what consequence happen if anyone takes brawl with engineers (especially mechanical and chemical guys) – they are always energetic to give the feedback on the spot. They mainly believe – decision on the spot. This therapy was really worked out. They were fiercely steeped out the next station and we got their seat.

“Bravo bravo! This was our conquest. “KEHI NAHI “(this is the slogan of our batch which means – no one can dare in front of us) “, Durga screamed in intense voice which boomed in the compartment.
“KEHI NAHI, KEHI NAHI….” We also started screaming as we settled on the seats. The word “KEHI NAHI” had resonance throughout the compartment as everyone in the compartment was screaming the word –“KEHI NAHI...”

“Thank god! We got the seats “, I grinned as I passed the ground nuts to my horde. Everyone had feeling great and put wide smile across their faces and again screamed “KEHI NAHI”.
My most studious bodies (samir, sudhansu and sohan) started discussing and analyzing the technical concept, preparing and jotted down the important points for interview. The all seemed as a warrior whose engaged in warfare and learned all the tactics to defense and win over the war battle- interview.

I was also keyed up and put my ear on studious bodies discussion, but my mind was gazing down to the window, relishing the nature beauty where all seemed to run or compete with my flashing mind and unwound my four chamber heart which was very busy in those days.

As time ran out, all looked sleepy and rested on the bag with their comfortable posture like snake rolled around the branches of the tree. It’s around twelve o clocks: The compartment slowly turned to unruffled and quiet as everyone slept, forgetting the stink smell and all seemed to drift their soul into another world where happiness lived – like someone in fairy dreams, someone in her lovers lap and lots of good thing which can happen only in dream land – where our memory act as a director. The whole scenario forced my eyes to sleep against my four chamber heart who was deep thinking of my angel. As my eyes slowly caught nap- I was entering into an elf dream land and had a vivid dream.

I dreamt,” it is a utopia -whole area covered with lovely tress having heart shaped leaves and mixed color flower. The drizzling of flowers and leaves and moon light have adorned the street, leaves enchant a mantra of love while it flutter by gust of wind and fashioning the prodigious place .Her image was fluttering in my mind as I walk on the street and suddenly my eyes fall on the heart shaped leaves which almost cover the half of the street, shinning my angel name by dazzling of moon light. I pluck one of them but it escape from my hand and start flying like a butterfly. I blindly follow the path of the butterfly: it leads to a strange place where infinity numbers of butterflies are swirling around an angel and enchanting the love mantra. The angel looks as bright as I close to her .Indeed she is my angel and I proposes her – will you marry me?”

“Off course why not! If I were gay “, Samir yelled as he adjusted his bump. My dream scattered into pieces as my eyes were lifting by Samir impolite voice.
As the sun rays faded slowly and moon ray shone, we became wearying and drained out all energy, seemed like a lank, really our bodies needed a full of rest and made respite on our bags-seemed like a huge pile.

We alighted at vododara station on wee hrs of the morning and went after the instruction to explore our hotel. It was not difficult to find our hotel as it was near at station and prominent in that area. I laid down my body on the bed as Durga opened the room.
