The Train Journey

The Train Journey

The busyness of boarding the train. 

The excitement of going to the most awaited destination in your brain. 

It's night, the time when we bring out the seat's middle berth. 

Father opens the window and in a fraction of second I smell the zen fragrance of the fresh earth. 


It's morning, mother checks whether I am asleep. 

Then stuffs a bottle of mineral water to keep. 

The manual alarm sung by the tea hawkers "chai, chai, garma garam chai! "

I see my parents planing the vacation while siping the steaming hot tea and the anonymous utter woke me up leaving a squeaking eye. 


Time to have a meal, that small rituals brought the meal time. 

I hear a hawker to rhyme. 

He is trying to sell snacks which few people waking up late are munching on. 

Some youngsters boarded the train without ticket just after the Ticket collector has gone. 


Here comes a new stop, I get off the train with my father to take a look. 

I see a book station there and all its indigenous local comics and an isle with attractive looking stack of book. 

My curious nerves urge to explore other compartments of the train, I gotta go. 

The point comes where my shakey knees are between the bobbing compartments, the situation is none less than my foe. 


Sharpening my skills of putting toothpaste on my favorite toothbrush in a super fast moving train. 

While returning to my coach, I meet a sweet stranger who starts to frain. 

Father yelling "our stop is the next, hurry up!" and gets the luggage ready to alight. 

A mandatory hide and seek with the shoes kept under the seats, the tension of missing the stop is tight. 

Finally we get off the train after 8 hours of travelling. 

Luckily I take all of my belongings from the train without failing.....
