An Interesting Journey

"Sair ker duniya ki e gafil zindaganee phir kahan
Zindaganee bhee rahee to naujawanee phir kahan"




Kashif was yawning at early morning when he realized that he is in the fast running Delhi bound Shiv-ganga express sitting-cum-laying in the half of the Side-lower berth sharing with his fast friend
Mobashshir. His body was aching with the pain and corner of eyes were completely filled with those green algae that has grown after sleeplessness of 48 hours. He just glanced over the floor of the train in front of him and found laying Ateeb in an uneasy way and then he found next to him Shiraz enjoying his night with that comfortable sound coming out of his nose constantly. He just wanted to leave his seat and tear this guy into pieces, breaking every bone in his body. Afterall this was the guy who made him to suffer in this way and put him in that situation.

Kashif just started remembering 6-7 hours back when he was enjoying Farhan's sister marriage in a grand ceremony in Kanpur. He enjoyed a nice sumptuous dinner with his friends' gang Mobashshir, Shiraz, Ateeb, Shameem, Junaid etc. He also got a confirmation from Shiraz that reservation has been confirmed and they are leaving tonight for Delhi via Prayagraj scheduled at 12:30 am in night. He was feeling more than happy to be a friend of Shiraz like person who cres fro him upto that extent. He just showed his gratitude to him and left the party at 10:30 pm with the promise of meeting at platform after 2 hours.

Kashif meet with them at 12:15 am when Prayagraj touched the platform and these cool guys entered into the train with their e-tickets to the correct coach. Kashif felt more happy when he found that the berths were already emptied and they have to make no fights in order to claim and get their seat. Just in a minute some hooligans came who started capturing Kashif's and his friends' seat. Kashif fought bravely and made them clear that these were our seats and nobody else can sit there. As soon as these
hooligans left a Surd family came and again started capturing same seats. Kashif again saw Shiraz who was looking confused and doubtful reading something on ticket. He found that Shiraz was showing something to Ateeb and then Ateeb declared that they were in wrong coach. He was suspicious about the event. At the moment they were getting down from the train Shiraz disclosed him that the date has been changed after 12:00 am and the train by which they were supposed to travel had already left 24 hours ago. Kashif was now in a baffling situation, he just wanted to kill this guy for whom some hours back he was full of gratitudes.



Situation has been completely changes now, Shiraz was as usual looking innocent and was regretting his mistake, Kashif was ranting badly over him when Ateeb interrupted and asked to think about the strategy. At that moment Kashif realized that one of his friend Mobashshir (Mooby) is also leaving for Delhi same night via another train - ShivGanga Express scheduled half an hour later. Shiraz ran to ticket counter to get 3 plain tickets for Delhi and Kashif ran to catch Mooby. Somehow they caught the train
and tried to bribe TT to get atleast one more extra berth but failed as there were no berth avaialble. Now, 4 persons were bound to sit on a berth and have to cover 7 hours journey. Now, Shiraz taken out his bedsheet from the bag, stretched that to floor in the middle of two lower berths and got dead for 5 hours. 2 hours later Ateeb also followed him and now it was Kashif whose every hair in the body was abusing to the snoring Shiraz while he himself was laying down at the shared berth. But, I should say Kashif was the only person who enjoyed the journey to the fullest without even taking a single nap all the night. He made his body aching to the highest degree and accumulated all his anger for the next morning.

Ummmm...no way.....I am not gonna tell you the second part of the story when these guys reached safely to the home :) in morning after this interesting jouney......
