My first train journey: Delhi to Jodhpur
I was going to attend my friend Ritika's wedding in Jodhpur. It was first train journey of my life. On 16-Apr-2011, I was supposed to book my tickets, but i was not willing to travel alone, without friends company. I called all friends, those were going, But all had their tickets booked already. But Monika agreed to cancel her tickets and rebook with mine tickets.
But as 5-May-2011 approached, Monika's plan to go get cancelled, So i was had to travel alone.
My train was scheduled to depart at 8:55 PM, and at 8:30 i left my home with my brother on bike, I was without helmet ( Its law to wear helmet on bike). Two times Police tried to stop us, but i reached platform just 30 seconds before, scheduled depart time. OMG, i was gasping heavily. Time passed easily as some friends called me after catching the train.
Now i had 3 questions in my mind:
1. What i eat, i could not grab anything as was getting late to board the train.
2. How i will get to know about my station i.e. When to get out of the train, as this was A/C coach, no announcements.
3. How to protect my bag from stealing.
So i called Abhishek to take some biscuits, cake and drink before boarding the train at Gurgaon station. For second question he assured me our station is last one, so dont worry. For 3rd i managed to use my bag as pillow.
I walked to my friends coach for biscuits and all
When i came back, tried to sleep, but two child's were making lots of noise, somehow i fell asleep, and suddenly my bed i.e. sleeping birth started moving. i got awake, and after that couldn't sleep :-(
In morning, train reached at Jodhpur station, here i met with 3 more people. Deepak, Rajia, and Charu. We all laughed on my story upto now. Rajeev, Ritika,s cousin bro came to pickup us at station.
Now i was in Jodhpur, The Sun City. But i felt it was cooler than Delhi.
We all enjoyed Ritika,s wedding fere , First of its kind for me. In evening we went to hotel, for reception and dance party. I was very happy for Riitka, she got married to a man she loves.
Now, i started felling the heat of Jodhpur.
Next day, Rajeev and Dhawni came to see off us at station. we all four me Rahul Abhi, and Charu boraded the train, now its a non-ac coach. A new experience again. we all chatted and palyed Antakshari till 2 AM, then i went to sleep. Rahul, Abhi and Charu were still gossiping and playing with Rahul's Andriod phone.
It was an awesome journey for me.
