[This is ain't no work of fiction.Yes, each word written here is damn true and showcases how people can be in this so called modern world]
The Chennai
journey was quiet fun. It started on 6th September, from Nizamuddin,
New Delhi to Chennai central station, Chennai. The 28 hours long journey seemed
small with friends to chit chat along. I was expecting the return journey to be
more pleasing than this one but then one should always expect the unexpected to
happen. This is what adds spice to life, right!
We boarded the
train at 7:05 pm which was scheduled to depart at 7:15. To catch the train on
time, the three of us had been struggling in Chennai traffic from past an hour,
in a tiny auto rickshaw, packed with the driver, our suitcases and the three of
us of course. When asked why he was driving so slow, driver replied, “It’s too
much for this petty thing to gain speed now”. Very funny!
But, we did manage
to get on the train in time and our tickets were confirmed, though just 2 hours
before but at least they were confirmed. Confirmed for the trouble that was
soon to start. I was traveling with A and V. I am S. One girl, two boys,
returning from Chennai to New Delhi, final year students, full with energy and
enthusiasm for the new life as yesterday only had they got job offers, that too
in Accenture, in campus placement drive.
It was a
scene outside the auditorium that day to watch after the results were
displayed. So we three were too happy to return back home with a smart job promise
in our hands. So we thought taking home some special local sweets. While I
settled down on lower berth of three coach AC Compartment, A and V went to buy
the sweets. One side was ours, as in all the three berths of one side. We were traveling by Grand Trunk,36 hours journey.
I was making
some calls when these people entered. At First they did seem to be a bit nasty
but then I thought a little ignoring will be enough to avoid any trouble, but I
was so wrong.
There was this group of 5 people, aged
28-30.They too were traveling back to
new Delhi from Chennai.
While I was
making some calls back home, detailing mother and father about the whole
schedule of my train one of them, in yellow T-Shirt came and sat at the other
corner of the other lower berth and started looking towards my side. Just to
ignore this not so comfortable gaze, I swiftly moved my eyes from him. I waited
impatiently for A and V to return I had to gaze outside my window, in the dark,
just to avoid hi eyes looking at me. Why is it so difficult for a girl to be in
this world. Also not to forget the fact that I am just any ordinary girl with a
simple face cut and was in simple clothes only man. I still don’t understand why this all
happened.
Anyways, they returned, after a decade, or so as it
seemed to me and we got busy in our own talks and that yellow shirt guy moved
back to his lot of guys in the nearby chamber. I thought I had ended the whole
drama here itself, but no, this was just the beginning of something which still haunts me to talk about !
