Pushpak Express

I am a few hours late in posting this blog (no wonder procrastination sucks!). Well, it is more due to a last moment idea to write this one than just procrastination. Consider this one as started on 11th June 12, 2006

Well exactly 365 days back (11th June 12, 2005) I left my hometown Lucknow on a journey – a journey that led to a year of roller coaster ride. Even though we got the reservations done one and a half months back our tickets were not confirmed. When we reached the station I saw a crowd which I had never seen before. Everyday so many people head for an over crowded city – Mumbai. Somehow, through a minister’s jack, we got the seats confirmed (even the TT was surprised to know this). But still we had to share our berths. It was almost half as crowded as a Mumbai Local.
I remember a funny incident on looking at my watch. Its 2:30 AM just now. Exactly around this time we were in Jhansi. I was awfully thirsty. I, along with a friend, went outside the station in search of cold water. We found it but there was a long queue. So we decided to return back without quenching our thirst. When we returned (after running for almost 200 meters) we found a water tap near our coach….:D
It was an unpleasant journey as the weather was really bad - but a very significant one. I wasn’t even aware that the coming year would be the most happening year of my life till date………..

Next blog in less than 24 hrs - if I don’t procrastinate again....... :D
