train journey.

i went to chennai to meet my nani as she was not well .i stayed there for 3 days and den came back to nagpur by train.
i booked my ticket for nagpur in chennai only...As the ac coach tickets were not available i booked the normal sleeper coach tickets thinking tat i ll convert it into ac ticket in the train .my train was at 7.15pm in the evening.i reached the station at 7 pm.i waited on the platform only so tat i can talk to the ticket master and convert my normal sleeper class ticket in to ac ticket.the name of the chief ticket officer was k n murthy.we was an old man with white beard .we was a bit rude in talking.i asked him if any seat is available in the ac coach and gave him the excuse tat i need a seat in ac coach bcos i have just recoverd from maleria and i cant afford to sit in the normal coach.but he said theres no seat available in the ac coach .i asked him if i should come after some time so tat he can check if any seat is available or not.he asked me to come after half an hour the train runs. i boarded the train and sat on my normal sleeper seat .i sat down and started talking to the strangers to divert my mind.there were all the men sitting in my compartment.we chated for about half an hour on topics like the south indian food ,wether,poepl etc etc and then i decided to go to the ticket master in the train if any seat is available.
As i reached the ac coach i saw 2 more guys standing over there for the ticket.i passed dem without even noticing them thinking that the ticket master wll not give me ac ticket if he sees so many poeple for it.then after some time i went to the ticket master and asked him for the ac tickets if any available.he told me to wait out side the ac bogie and he ll inform me if thers any chance.so i was der standing wid the other two guys i saw.they were also standing out side the ac coach door.our conversation started.i being a introvert didnt started the conversation.one of the guy named amit who was tall and a panjabi started the talks wid me.and den the other guy called ganapati also started the talks.so withing 5 minuted we stared talking a telling each other abt where r v from and where were v going.1st i thought that both of them are together but then i realised that they also met randomly in the train.so all 3 of us were totally starngers to each other 1 hr back and now we were really clicking and liking each other.
so after trying for next 1 hr we decided to tat we ll make a last tryand if the ticket master said no again then we all will go to our own coaches and sit in the sleeper class only.,..As we were goin to ask ,a guy from nowhere came from our back side and asked us if we were also looking for ac tickets.he told us tat he needs a ticket very urgently and was very much stressed up.we told him tat theres no chance he could get a ticket in an ac compartment and we started moving ahead.the ticket master said no to us and we decided to go back to uur origininal seat/.that guy again stopped us .his name was karan mathur.he told us that he and his gf is travellin india since last 2 -3 months and now they are goin back to delhi .but his ticket is confermed till warangal which is 7 hrs from chennai and his gf ticket is not confermed.so his gf is pissed of by tat .and above that his gf wanna travell in the sleeper class as tat was her last train trip .her gf was from germany and she came india for 1 hr study programm.
he gave me an offer.he asked for my sleeper class ticket and in return offererd me an air ticket back to nagpur from Warangle.i dint believed him and said no directly.but then he requested a lot and said that he is all doin it for that girl.so i decided to take a rick and said yes.amit and ganapati were asking me not to go and take risk.but some ho i believed tat guy.i still dont know if i did it right at tat time.he took my ticket and i went to his seat to book the air ticket online from his laptop .but somehow the network was not catching. all 4 of us moved to the sleeper coach where we were sitting and karan went to his gf t give the ticket. in that time amit and ganapati convinced me not to take a rick and go with him.i agreed with him and told karan tat i ll not go with him and i want my ticket back.i was very polite wit him and he also returned my ticket.wen i was talking to karan i saw her gf allso.she was good looking and its very rare u find any foreign girl sitting in the sleeper coach of indian railway.she was talking to the ticket master if she can get any seat. den i again went back .before taking our dinner all 3 of us smoked for some time and talked about each other life and really enjoyed a lot.we also had our dinner together.we really didnt felt that we met just few hours back...it felt like we knew each other since long time.and then we slept.
the next moring v all wk up at 9.the day was good and it was a clean journey.as we woke up we saw tat the foreign girl was sleeping in our coach only.we were surpised.me and ganapati decided to talk to her.ganapati started the talks and i being an introvert and an arian wont every start a conversation.till then she was quitely sitting and feelin hesitate to talk.but she really enjoyed talking to us and told us abt the places she had visited in india .she was from frankfort germany and really liked india a lot.we shared our travelling experience and also shared food with each other.she was a beautiful lady wid gree eyes i guess.i liked her spirit.we reallly became good friends while talking .i told her to try some of the indian dishes like petha and the raj malai.i hope she did.we took each others email id and promised to keep in contact.it was a real fun jourey.nagpur meat 2 clock and i had to get down at nagpur finally.i said bye to all of them and asked them to be in contact...it was my best train trip till now.

we woke up at 6 in the morning and started for the safary at 6.30.we took a gypsy which is a four wheel drive vehicle.we paid 1200 rs for the entry .monsoon has just started here so the jungle was greener than the usual .it was also cool inside the jungle.as soon as we started we saw many spotted dears .there are 20k spotted dears in the jungle.the road was also very bad ....well its suppose to be a bad raod anyways.pranav was driving the car and was pretty good at it..after half and hour or so we also saw somewild buffaloes called the neel gauy.and we also saw a 12 fork dear called the barh singha.after a while we stopped at a point and came out of the car to click the photos.as it was the jungle area we were not suppose to got out of the car.butour guide allowed us to get down the car.we clicked thephotos and got in the car withing 2 min.
we again started and withing a minute we saw a leopard.it was very near to the place we got downthe car.it was sitting at the top of the small hill behind the plans.we could ssee the leopard clearly.it was a awsumn view.weclicked the photos also.from there we continued our journey to the lake area.we cae out of the jungle gate at arround 11 am.we then headed to have out lunhc i the small tea shop.fromthere we headed to our resort.
while goin to the resort we saw a beautiful lake which was full of lotus the other side from where we were standing.so we all decided to treck the whole lake and go to the place where all lotus are accesible an pluck some lotus.the treck was a surprised for us as the lake has many hidded beautiful corners from where the view was ausumn. there was also a machan mounted there in which people climp in case theywasnt to c a tiger or any animal coming der to drink water.we finally reached the lotus point and named it mission lotus .we soon went into the lake andplucksome lotus for us ...theywere beutiful ..more than they look.we had a blas and enjoyed every moment wid the nature.
from there we went to our resort and had afull fledged lunchat 2.30pm.from there we headed for the shiv mandir tat was 45 km from our resort.itwas ahuge temple and was worth visiting.from there we started our journeybackto home.we started at 4 fromthe temple and reached home at 9 pm/.we were all tired and slpet as soonas v reached home. it was a short bt a very pleasurable trip.
