<<+++TRIP Report +++>>
On last Saturday i started to Rajhamundry to take a Dip in godavari water on the occasion of Puskaraalu which comes 12 years once. I have booked my ticket in MAS-VSKP via NGNT exp upto VSKP and want to get down at RJY. MAS-VSKP GNWL for VSKP only. My 3AC ticket ended up with RAC. Then started from OMR where my residing, its 27 km from chennai central railway station. Normally it takes 1 hr in normal time. I started 1 hr 30 min back from home. Suddenly huge rain, Every where traffic stopped, my cab struck on the roads, Finally managed to reach MAS by 21:25. Started running to catch train, due to...
more... rain the the floor slippy not able to walk quickly. But the train left 21:20 it self as its right time 21:10. Then for minute all my plans are gone. Don't know what to do, then i have heard Allapy-Bokaro going to arrive at 21:55. Its Saturday night that Pusakaras season. Actually i have no hope but just wait there and kept hopes on god only :)
Then finally train arrive 10 min before time to pf. Asked coach attenders if there is vacancy in 3A or 2A, they said we don't know let TTE come. Finally in 10 min one white and white dress guy (TTE in early 30's ) coming our side. Many people along with me rushed towards for asking ticket. He told standard answer no tickets no tickets. After some time i asked , " Sir 2A also fine for me upto Vijayawada" . Then he replied , i am not AC TTE wait until him come.
After 10 min one Sardar Ji with balck and white coat came, finally i found the AC tte, its him. I want seat upto Vijayawada, he said in 2AC its there. Finally some relief. Surprisingly he is speaking good telugu, i told him as i misses train i dont have general ticket also, asked him what to do. Then he told get GEN tikcket train will be here upto 11 pm if not fine will be 3000 rs.
OMG not again that slippy floor and GEN counter is almost 1 km way from the train. I cannot walk fast as floor slipping at the same TTE may give the seat to other. With all hurdle in that rain went to ticket counter, there is a moderate Q is there. Took ticket upto RJY, little optimistic. Again with luggage and bag on that slippery tiles walked toeards Appaley-Bokaro AC bogies. Sardhar ji sitting on the table, i asked him to allot berth. Then his face is changed and said , oh i already gave it other now no tickets.
Its like heart brake for me , this running floor with out having any food for dinner. My spirits are down.....
Contd....2 part.
