Right now I'm on my way to Guwahati since yesterday by train after dropping my wife at her institute at Moradabad (UP). Last night after dinner most of the passengers went to sleep.. I was checking something at my laptop along with replying to some comments on Facebook.. At around 1 am, I thought it to be better to go to sleep... Everything went fine.. But as I was returning to my cabin/coupe after using the wash room, I got confused.. Most of the lights were switched off and most of the cabins were covered by curtains.. Anybody travelling by Rajdhani Express can easily imagine the situation... Only the passage was slightly visible in a very low light condition.. Yet after much calculation I entered my cabin and approached to my seat.. Just before taking my seat, I switched on my mobile display and to my horror, in its low light I saw a girl sleeping on my seat.. God.. I had entered the wrong cabin!!! I could do nothing, but to hurriedly return near the wash room and take some deep breaths.. Thank god, nobody shouted like "What the hell are you doing here?" I waited there for around 15 minutes.. I was even afraid to try to find my cabin once again.. But thankfully it came to my mind that I had left my another mobile at my seat.. So I started ringing it and finally could return to my seat..
Now I am laughing at myself.. No explanations needed, but it was the most horrible experience of my lifetime!!!
Never thought that train journey could be this much terrifying... :-):-)
