ThE RaiLwAy StAtIoN InCiDeNt

Went for a plant visit today in the afternoon. and left the place in the evening at around 4.30. I actually had no clue as to where I was(cos I never took the trouble of making a note of it when I was taken there). I was jus trying to figure out where on earth I was and then to discovered the means to go home. Finally I jumped to a conclusion of going home by train(a railway station was very close by). Went by walk to the station.(I was really very excited cos this was the first time I was traveling in a domestic plying broad gauge). Little did I know that more surprises were waiting for me when I started out.

As soon as I bought the train ticket, the train came from nowhere and I gladly got into the ladies compartment which halted exactly in front of me. The journey was way too good because the weather was fantastically pleasant today. Just made friends with few of the mallu speaking girls who coincidentally studied the same course as I do.
I had a mixed feeling as I got a seat to sit nearby the window. Looked out at the beautiful sky and enjoyed the cool breeze. Peeped outside the window to see the plastics, paper covers and all junk dumped in the side lanes. That was a bit saddening.

When my station arrived, I was a bit puzzled to find the way OUT. among the crowd stood my 10th standard geography teacher. I was too delighted then jumped on my toes to meet her. Spoke to her for a while and happened to meet another junior of mine (in school) who showed me the way OUT.
