Necessity - The mother of ...

It’s been a long time that I penned down my thoughts. There’s one incident that happened to occur to me this time when I was travelling by train to my home town which I thought can be blogged on :).

This was not the first time I was travelling alone by train, but it never fails to happen that my father doesn’t give me a minimum 15 mins of advice on do’s and dont’s while in train. In that long 15 mins of advice there would be 10% of do’s but 90% of it would be dont’s as he is very well aware of his daughter’s activities. From the time I boarded the train, I did not bother to know my compartment mates and talk to anyone of them and was happily getting bored sitting alone in my regular upper berth. It was around 9:30P.M when all the people in the bogie were done with their dinner and were almost asleep with all the lights switched off. .9:30 ???? ok forget it..It was that time I realized my bottle had run out of water and I was quite thirsty. The pantry service keeps loitering all around the train all the time, but when you need it…….. I then took out the schedule which I carry always while travelling, the only thing which makes me feel better as it says how close I m to my destination. There was 1 station which was just about to come and had a 1 min stop. Getting down from the train, buying a bottle from a shop and then coming back in 1 min. Would that become toooo adventurous ?? hundreds of thots started running into my mind and by the time I was out of them, the train already started moving out of that station. Okk..now what…next station was after another 1 hour which had a stop of 2 mins and then the next stop with 15 mins..wowow….thats great..but after 4 hours :(..made up my mind to get down at the 15 mins wala stop and get a bottle from there..it would be around 2A.M and had also set an alarm for it in case my thirst would have by any chance allowed me sleep...was trying hard to get sleep, but it is then I learnt when we r short of something, we yearn for it badly. Suddenly I realized my train’s speed had reduced and it was 11..that 2 mins wala station... without giving my brain much time to process any thots, I popped off from my seat and ran to the door . Not going much into the details of how I struggled to open it, I saw a shop not right infront my door, but nearby..seemed to be achievable.. I started running to the shop, asked for a bottle of water, gave him 20 bucks and he immediately gave the change. I did not bother to check how much he had returned and create a scene of Jab We Met. Remember kareena kapoor missing her train for a similar reason ???? I did not want to be the next kareena kapoor and replicate a dramatical movie scene ;)..ok coming back to reality, I took the bottle and jumped back to my train before it making me run for it and asking for help from people (who would be happily building their dreams).

While having water after returning peacefully, I was just wondering what if I would not have made it on time?? wat if I had missed my train ?? wat if I had impersonated kareena and got the shahid kapoor of my life ;) ?? But apart from all these, the thing that was worrying me the most was, wat if my papa comes to know about the activity their daring daughter had carried out :)
