You reach the railway station, for a day journey. You reach the station some 30 minutes before the departure of the train. The coach seems to be clean, and you have a window seat. After a while, you check in the railway chart to find out who your neighbor is. Some 25 year old girl is supposed to travel alongside you. Now that’s interesting. You adjust your shirt, and try to set right the hair(whatever is remaining).
Its about time for the train to start, but there is no sign of the girl. After few minutes a very cute looking girl walks in. You try to act casual, by not paying attention. And when she says ‘Excuse me’, you just try to control your enthusiasm and look at her. She says ‘If you don’t mind, can you shift to the next coach? There are also window seat only. Actually, I am with my friend and he(Yeah it is a he) got seat in that. If you don’t mind’. And then you notice the gum chewing, smug looking guy next to her. Life is cruel, I tell you!
P.S. This didnt happen to me
P.P.S I mean I wasnt the guy who was disappointed, nor the gum chewing smug looking guy

Normally for me some old people will come and ask for the lower berth or someone will interchange the side upper berth where i can’t even fit in.

chinna doubt, if p.s. is true, why do you say that life is cruel to you?

@ anonymous : life is cruel, i tell u doesnt life is cruel to the ‘I’ in the statement. it could also be that the I sees cruelty in life generally.
But still, this post smells strongly of a first person experience, doesnt it ?? so your doubt seems fairly valid…

Ferro,
Thank god that you didn’t put a PPPS by saying you were that “very cute looking girl”; turned so after your latest visit to Mumbai for a ‘vivek-stating’ operation :-).
Even if u had one then i’m sure that you wouldn’t be that “very cute looking”.

Tell you what..
1. Dont bother to check your co-passengers.
2. Take a book with you to read through the journey. Books are the best company.
3. I repeat - Dont bother to check your co-passengers.
