In continuation to my epic journey blogs
This one is from 27th Feb 2008. The train was 13306 DOS Gaya Intercity for travelling from Gaya to Hazaribagh Road. It was short distance, but the stay was necessary to please all my friends after their marriage. It was around 1800 hrs in the evening when we reached the station, the train was running late by 1.5 hrs and reached Gaya around 1930 hrs. Then I boarded the general coach as the train was having good occupancy, I took my place on the gate...
more... and did doorplating for the entire journey. It reached my friends home at around 2145 Hrs. His home was near to railway station, so it didnt took me much time to reach his home.
Now we move on to 28th Feb.
The train was to be boarded was 13152 Jammu Tawi Kolkata Express from Hazaribagh road to Dhanbad. I was waiting at station from 0730 hrs as the train was slated to come late. but suddenly on PF3 12988 Ajmer Sealdah Express arrived for a short time. I crossed the tracks by running and board the train when it was just moving. The train hardly took 1 hrs to reach Dhanbad. As soon as I deboarded the train, a girl TTE (probably trainee) asked me for ticked. I showed her the ticket but she pointed out that this is of Mail Express Ticket and you have boarded SF train. I tried to tell her that I was in hurry so I took this train I was waiting for some other train. But she didn't agree, and told me to pay fine of Rs. 500/-. I tried very hard but she didn't agree and told me to come to RPF. I paid the fine and escaped somehow. Where I went to meet my special friend. We had a good day and took dinner on the station restaurant in the evening. I booked a bed in dormitory and slept.
Now on 29th Feb 20008. I was waiting for My next train 12322 Mumbai Howrah Mail, she came with a box with breakfast in it. The train arrived just 10 mins late and I boarded the train and the train cruised through and reached Howrah just 35 mins late. I had ample time before my next train.
I roamed around kolkata a bit and travelled in tram too. Then I came back to board Kamrup Express. The train Departed right and I had a middle berth this time and it was so boring to travel in middle berth. I managed to complete my journey somehow and deboarded on 0630 hrs next morning.
