When boarding a train...

when boarding a train...

1) check whether u have the ticket..

2) check train timings...

3) check the DATE...

4) check platform, coach, seat, luggage

Have a safe journey....

But when me and my colleagues followed all the steps above.... me missed out one small detail...

- check date and time together in correlation with each other....

why???? u may ask...

that is cos we had asked the travel agent to book the Friday night train.... which leaves at 1am.... and he had booked the Friday 1am train aka Thursday night train...

what happened next??? we checked that the ticket was for Friday(date matched)... saw the time as 1am... and dumbly noted that Friday night we have to catch the train...

catch the train we did.. running and jumping into it and our luggage thrown in after us... the adventure had already begun....

and catch us did the TT do... cos we had an expired ticket in hand...

finally with jus 2k in hand and 4 ticketless travellers... we managed to give a cut to 2 TTs and book general tickets and change compartments in the next big station...

the luxury of 2nd AC was given up so that we cud have some money left atleast for some chai paani the next day...

so be warned and stay alert...some adventures are fun...and the others are called a SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS...

    One of my friend checked all the details but he caught the different train in the urgency...

    So not only the ticket details.. need to check which train we are boarding also..

    Have a Happy Journey...
