Journey to south side....

Hi guys i am back..actually yesterday there is a complete power block at my place so that's y could not able to write.

Any ways today i will share some thoughts of my life when i went by train from Delhi to Hyderabad.By this time u could have thought of what i am gonna tell in now.Yes you are right am gonna share my experiences with a foreigner from Australia whoz travelling on the same train sitting just beside to me.

Actually when i was a student i am not in a position to fly to go so thats y i took train root and the train i boarded was AP Express.My journey was not fixed so i booked the ticket under TATKAL scheme.Here i appraise should say Lalu prasad yadav not for least he introduced those tatkal scheme which will come in handy for all those who wont plan their travel earlier.He increased the number of seats but kept the condition that u should reserve your ticket from start to end,which is basically i felt a nice idea.So i got the ticket easily with my berth reserved.

I went to New Delhi railway station 1 hour before,i have started from my office 3 hours before to avoid any traffic snarls such worse hit was New Delhi when it comes to traffic.I wonder how traffic still wont come under control even though u have 4 lanes on entire road.Two on to the flyovers and two running parallel beside them on the ground.I wonder how the whole Delhi is occupied by flyovers the amount of effort they put up in constructing planning the officials should be given a hats off.Alas even though they are not enough to control the traffic.

I went to an auto rickshaw guy and asked for and he charged me 200 bucks.I felt how these guys can lead a luxurious life if they get 5 or 6 customers like this every day.It is hardly 20km and the guy charges 200 bucks which is pretty expensive i guess.But nevertheless it is safe to take auto rickshaw than going by DTC or blue line buses.So at last i reached station with in 45 mins.But who knows any thing can happen if your day is bad you may not reach there even in 3 hours.So every thing went fine and i waited for the train on platform for a while.Mean while i looked around pretty girls standing there and waiting for trains.Truly speaking Delhi girls look really good.I guess though south is more technology based all the glamour was there in north only i guess.The train has come 1 hour before the starting time and i went inside and took a deep breathe for every thing goin fine.

It was a humid day in Delhi and by the time i boarded the train there was no power so its nightmare to stay even for 2mins inside the train and i came onto platform locking my luggage inside.I went around looking for stalls to buy some books for time pass or some news papers.I took chetan bhagats "One Night At call center" as i was impressed with his first "Five Point Someone".I wondered how this guy has written all the things he did with his girlfriend and going into professors house for stealing examination papers.i felt humorous and hilarious through out the book.I finished the book "Five Point Someone"in 12 hours at a continuous stretch.Because its the kind of phobia he created that you cant afford to leave it there and say your self i will read it tomorrow.I took a bottle of kinley and went inside to start off my journey rather a long one it takes 26 hours to reach to Hyderabad.

I got the lower berth and i settled down handsomely without watching who are my co-passengers.I put my face into the book with out watching my surroundings and was in the some excitement of how chetan bhagat reveals all the real truth of call centers.As i was busy with my book there came a foreigner with her very big bag hanging on her back with ticket in her hand seeing for where the hell her berth was.
Atlast she got it and placed all her luggage on upper berth and asked me if she can sit to window side beside me.I saw her then and felt stunned looking at her for the looks she had and obliged her request.Any guy how much fundamental he could be could have done the same thing and could be in my position only with lot of excitement for the journey is not going to be boring you have some one to share.I immediately kept my head into book making her to feel that i am interested more in book.I am sure ego should have come into picture for not giving her any attention because i thought this is the way to deal with girls though i am new to these kind of things.Slowly i am moving my pages with a look at her mood on how she is feeling.She is enjoying each and every bit of nature and the cool air that's coming through windows.Apparently the other passengers who are there near to me are busy with their own things they are probably malayalis,i understood them through their language which i was unable to get.Then slowly i asked her if i can take my bag for rotis which i have got from home.As she turned to my side i felt how god made her so beautiful yet so simple.I decided then and there itself to start talking to her.But my instinct said you have a long journey so making her wait will bond your relationship stronger then again i kept silent and fin shed my rotis and went back into my book.

After sometime she started asking about some place to the malayali person who is sitting there and the guy was unable to tell her properly and i thought the time has come to enter into the scene and gestured her that i will help her.She slowly moved away from him and gave me the Delhi tour guide she is having with her.She is asking whether wer have crossed agra and madhura and i said it will take a while before agra comes.She is asking thos for peta which is famous in agra to buy.I thought how crazy people portray into some things that every foreigner could have known about peta.
when the station has come i helped her in purchasing a good peta.She ate them and looked at me saying how different and how amazing it was for the reason she is tasting it for first time in her life, i asked if i can take a piece of it and she gave me and asked that we both will finish it.She slowly started asking me about what i do and where from i have come.Even i was also more interested than her i kept my cool as to give her good impression that i wont flirt much with girls.This hide and seek funda i think wont work with foreigin girls i thought later and started talking feely.I have started asking her where from she is coming and where she is going to.For that she replied as expected that she visited rishikesh and was going to Hyderabad and she is enjoying her one month holidaying trip to India.I asked her on how she has got 1 month leave she said that she can even take 3 months leave even she wont loose her job.In developed countries the rules are very flexible for the matter that you work and you earn and rest is your wish.Also health insurance is so high there is no need for you to keep a single penny for medicine purpose.
As the discussion went on i shared my experiences and that was my peak time and i was cloud 9 thinking hell lot of things.We talked staring from small things to political,financial,childhood and work environments.
