Some train journeys are interesting, while some are long... some are crowded, while some are lonely.. here are some of my EVERGREEN train JOURNEYS.... n no doubt i hav njoyed every bit of them.
A gal , who has hardly traveled in trains till 18 years of her life n suddenly have to catch 7:30 am fast train from dombivli ( a station where getting IN train means free body massage ;) ) was not a simple task... though leaving 3 4 trains, shortly trained to get inside it... :)
Catching 7:50 am local from thane-vashi ( when i was in F.E 4 long years back), was bit annoying to get in at pick hours, specially. But human tendency , adjust yourself ! so did I, adjusted with timing n started njoying train journeys. Usually , harbour Lines are not much crowded and they are least ! when you travel in first class, was the belief I had, but wid no surprise it was crushed soon mercilessly... :/
I still remember how I and Pranali use to catch early fast train from dombivli and get down in thane. Going from that overly crowded bridge was one hurdle, due to which many times we missed our trains just by 1 or 2 min. After doing so much of xcerise (not much needed :P) , rat race use to take place in our tummies... ;) so have to carry xtra tiffins widout fail... Completing assignments, solving kumbhojkar , listening to music (specially pranali's headphone), gossiping... were our favourite train tp. We met many ACPCEians in train and became friends initially... Though some wer friends for there own selfish purpose while some wer just xcited to know everyone around... ;) Almost 4 hours of everyday I spend in Mumbai's Life Line (trains)...
Having bhel, peppy, schezwan sticks, balaji ( chaat chaska) was the fun I will always cherish. My F.E. group , (Pradnya, Pritam, Prachi, Pranali, Rakshata and I ) without forgeting use to play our very own DAMSHRAZZ in train and in no time people beside start playing wid us. I remember one solid incident, Prachi, rakshata, Pranali and I was playing in train, fully ngrossed! suddenly rakshata remembered that she has to get down in airoli n she began picking her bag ki pranali said, " abhi to koparkhairne aayega" n our rakss started playing again, bt after few minutes 1 aunty (rakshata's neighbour) asked her tht why she is not getting down??? n she nt so interested to hear wht tht poor lady was saying.. ignored her.. Fir kyaa, aaya station, n wid no surprise it was AIROLI... hahhahha !! It was hilarious as everyone started laughing as she almost jumped from d running (just pickd up ;)) train...
Time flew faster (thn our trains) n i was in second year when chetana joined us from dombivli. Sooner timings changed for every branch and slowly my F.E group was unable to reunite in trains sooo frequently. Also I was d only one who was in Electrical, so it was hardly possible for me to catch der timings, I used to miss all aur masti :(... But no worries i shortly formed MY GROUP, firstly it was just train group with bit of awkwardness as we were only TWO ANGELS ;) among around 9 to 10 boys n sometimes many more too... but later on it became obvious for all...
Travelling in 2nd class gents was our daily routine while cuming home, but as our friendship started blossoming we just grab d chance n insisted d boys to take 1st class pass here onwards... n my dear dear pals listen to us widout doing any JHIGJHIGG.. ;) though kishor n sada still travel wid 2nd class pass... :/. In F.E. it was always 5:03 pm train n at d most 5:13 pm train from kharghar to sanpada as we had to catch 5:35 thane train from nerul... (as harbour is known to have very less frequency for thane train, then ) !!!
In the end of S.E we started skipping 5:37 thane train from nerul n instead it became 5:35 pm from kharghar :D...Whenever any radddaa use to happen someone or the other wud get in 1st class or in 2nd class to avoid rest, though we never allowed anyone that much privacy :P .. HE or she may be, had to be in same compartment where majority will be. We played our favourite slapping game (though many hate tht game, i njjoyed it thoroughly) to pulling everyones leg, not allowing anyone to sleep no matter how tiered he or she is. :P.... That (confusing) discussions during xams to fighting for silly reasons ... where eating one bite of your own cuttlet was a struggle and having only one tomato slice left from the whole veg cheese grilled sandwich was luck. That aatrangiii flavours of soda and grabbing window seats was justt pagalpanti... (just missing every sec of that togetherness).
The LAST year of our engineering n we have sincerely tried our best to catch 5:48 train from nerul ;) bt now as we wer soon to be enggs.. ( lazy creatures )we started catching 6:20 nerul-thane train... (we really did tried bt wer dissapointed every time to catch d earlier train.. ;)) n so our almost whole B.E dis was our patent train (yes thats what we named it :D)... One most memorable incident in dis train is, it was our last working day in college, already bit emotional of final wrap up wid engg n 4 beautiful years, capturing as many moments as we can in our DG's , we came in nerul, it was 6:10 pm n our patent train was standing on the platform. Suddenly everyone thought of taking pic of indicator showing 6:20 T (thane). This train holds a special place in my heart as i remember all small small things , of how we clicked so many nautanki pics wid tht indicator, around d train, inside d train, laughed on our stupid silly poses and that drop of tear which gaurav had silently roughed.
People complain about the rush in trains, bt we cracked jokes on them; where seating on 4th seat was uncomfortable, 5 of us use to seat much comfortably ;) some get annoyd wid the kids who beg in trains while we played wid dem too. Today , the train is same and even clock is showing the same time but MY BESSSTT BUDDIES are not accompaying me in dis journey .... I will misssss you all... <3
