Nostalgic Journey

Journey to Sircilla to Namsai

Am started my journey from Sircilla to Hyderabad by bus to airport. That was the day when I was flying for the first time and the flight was at early morning 5.00am boarding at Rajiv Gandhi international airport Hyderabad. To reach Airport early morning from my Native place i.e. Sircilla, was difficult. So. a day before night, I reached the Airport. That was the first time I was flying and was going to join a new job out of State Telangana. First time I was going to Arunachal pradesh Northeast State, very far from my native place, some of my friends (Shashank, Vasanth, Satish, Srikanth, and Chandra shekar) came to the airport for send off. So whole night we were roaming at the airport, no sleep, with the sleepless night, phone was going to be dead, I entered into check-in gate and charged my mobile, few minutes later, I started flying in flight, before flying I visited some shopping stalls inside, also witnessed the namaaz some of Muslim friends were doing namaaz. Actually I was travelling to Dibrugarh but no direct flight, there was a halt in Kolkata, flight reached to Kolkata by 8.45 am, there I was searching for luggage, I could not find after searching for half an hour, I was worried where is my luggage and what happened to my Bag. Then I enquired with flight attendant, I came to know that luggage will directly reach Dibrugarh. There after next flight was at 10.45 AM but due to fog flight was delayed to 12.45 PM. Next flight started at 12.45 PM and reached Dibrugarh at 2.30 PM. Now the time for Luggage and with the Luggage I came out from the Airport around 3.00 PM. One car was supposed to receive me but due to rain and some issues it was not there, I called Kaushik the Manager who was supposed to recieve me, he advised to hire a car or reach to Tinsukia from there by a bus Namsai every day evening 4.00 PM.

Up to now journey was completed bit peacefully knowing place and flight, now the thing had come to new state Assam, I was alone with the luggage and came out, tried for local buses but here it was not similar like Telangana, transportation was a bit of problem, I thought of hiring a taxi direct Dibrugarh to Namsai, they were charging more so I thought to go New tinsukia from there a bus was available to Namsai that I came to know through my friend, his name was also Nagaraju who offered me job there in Arunachal Pradesh, at last some drivers who agreed to go to Tinsukia gave me 1200 some one said 1500 etc. That 1500 for around 30 Km I thought was more and for me also it was very high So I was searching for Sharing, at last, I found a new friend named Arvind Nath, he was also going to join DPS digboi. Both travelled to Tinsukiya and the thing was that last bus to namsai was 4.00 PM, Due to rain and traffic in the Tinsukia, it was very hard to catch the Last Bus. Then I planned in my mind to stay in hotel in Tinsukia but any how reached to Bus station, Unfortunately, my luck was not on my side cause bus was still in Tinsukia, it's tyre was punctured. So I caught the bus to Namsai but bus started late and reached late to Namsai.

Arunachal pradesh is located in hill area, first place to rising sun in India, So it was very dark, I was worried where am going, where it will reach, whether the bus is going to some where else, During the span of 3 hours journey from Tinsukia to Namsai I called my friend around 10 times when it will reach, what are the places I will pass during the journey, still I was in a worry whether I was am riding in a right way or not, other persons in the bus were Arunachal people and I sat at the last seat. Any how I managed to sit in the seat again there was a problem, there is a check in of border police because Arunachal is only place required Gate Pass to travel but that police accepted my entry cause am a teacher in a school. Lastly I reached to Namsai by 8.30 PM.
