Train Journey - Onward

The past weekend was not so bad except for the train journey. It was a feast for eyes when I reached home seeing the flowers bloomed and full of greenery.

As usual I went home without preplanning. So obviously there were no tickets. I managed to get a WL ticket and went with one of my friends. But there were already two people coming with her. So it was like four of us travelling with one confirmed seat. Three of them sat on the upper birth which was confirmed. I sat on lower birth at the edge of it which was someone else' confirmed seat. It belonged to a tamil family visiting Kerala for vaccation. Now I wonder what's there to see in Kerala.
And because of all these people we are not getting tickets to go home. I sat there and get acquainted with the children. I didn't talk much for kids its difficult to understand my Tamil. I just asked what was tehir names and where they were going to. The answer for where they were going to was an open answer.They told Kerala.Now I don't know what shall I understand from it. I repeated the question for a few more times then gave up.So everything was going happily. Then came the villain. He asked my friend who has confirmed tiket to change her seat. Though she had agreed initially to change after the ticket checking later she had a change of mind. She said since three are sharing a single birth it was convenient to stretch the legs because in the opposite birth the small boy in the tamil family was sleeping. The answer obviously made this villain angry and he poured that on poor me who was sitting on lower birth. The villain knows this family. So he asked me why was I sitting there, wasn't that a disturbance for the lady who happened to be the
mom of these kids. I got up saying its no big deal and stood there. After he left that akka who was lying there told me that I could sit there instead of standing. I went and sat. By the time I got offers of help from other births also like I could keep my bag there and all.But I declined it politely. This akka adjusted so that I could sleep also. It was raining outside then. I tried to sleep in some weird positions and after sometime I went to upper birth and sat there where the small boy was sleeping. When the train reached palakkad he went down and I slept till my station reached. When I was getting down I smiled at the akka who was sleeping properly only then because of me. When I got down my friend came and lied there.

I thought that was vey hectic journey. but I changed that opinion when I travelled back to Chennai.Will post it as a new one.
