the ride of a lifetime

This probably is one if my favourite blogs because the incident that I am associating with this blog is very close to my heart.this is because the the incident is my journey in a local train in the city of dreams.this is obviously one thing I badly wanted to do and this time the oppurtunity came in the form of a visit to my cousin's house which was situated in a place called kurla which was about seven stops from where I was staying that is about 40 km.then came the d day I got up at around 7.30 and then I got ready and had my breakfast and was just watching the arms of the clock go by.by then the guy who was to dropped me came and took me to the railway station he bought a ticket and then we both set of to the platform on which the required train was supposed to come.There was a train standing by and I got into it and he told me where to get down and on which side the station would appear so I stood on that side. I am very greatful to him without whom I would never have been able to reach my destination.dude thanks a lot!!!!!

There begins my journey the train started in a few minutes time and then it travelled so slowly that I thought oh man r u crazy what is the driver a snail??? Just then the train gained speed within a span of few seconds it was like the rush of adrenaline for me I felt a strange thrill the thrill I badly wanted to experience the thrill of travelling in a local train the train seemed pretty empty and it was empty too.I didn't find it too crwody so I felt pretty comfy just then a station arrived so the people came in as well so it became a bit crowded but I was still feeling comfy.next to me there arrived a gentleman probably in his twenties stood beside me he was handsome and wearing a blue colured shirt with white broad stripes on it.he was standing quietly. I had a quiery to make I felt that he was competent enough to answer my queiry the reason being he looked intelligent. so I decided to break the silence and I asked him where my station would come and when so he told me the details and I also made a special request of telling me when I must get down he said yes.as he had agreed he told me to do get down where I was supposed to so just before getting down I said "thanks a lot"he obliged and then I got down and headed to the exit of the railway staion and then I called up my cousin's husband who was supposed to pick me up and so I rang him up from my cell and he told me that he will be there in about 10min time and then I decided to cool myself down and so I bought myself a soft drink and drank it like a person who found water in a desert I felt a lot cooler. well then my dream ride of travelling in the local became a reality with no hiccups or problems by the grace of god and with the help of two people I was able to fulfill my dream so a big thanks to either of the two gentlemen.

I learnt a lot from the journey that people of the city of dreams are a lot more tougher than the people in my native city and also tend to spend lesser time with their respective families which I feel sorry but man that is the way it is right.with this I think the blog's purpose is served and my mind has become a lot lighter so this is the elite Vattam signing off........
