NEW DESTINATION TRAVELER


Hard Core Rainy night ,people sprinting outside n on railway station. Suddenly train arrives n there is more havoc. But What as soon as I enter my AC coach there is pin drop of silence.There has been sudden change of era as in recent past when I use to travel by any transportation whether it be Air crafts, Buses , Trains people use to chat there was an intensity among everyone to know about each other.As of today people come put up there headphones or switch on their screen through out journey n when they land they even don't care who was sitting near by them.Same is the case in AC coaches people just put curtains n take rest n when their destination comes they come out of their shell.These days everyone has been so busy with their lifestyles they really don't have time to look up in any other person.There was a time people use to share good n bad deeds of their life n feels satisfied.But is this so people don't have time or their is something else behind change of this attitude.

The pin drop of silence suddenly converts into loud n endless gossiping, when I saw that lady ahh...she was same who had called her relatives in between her journey to serve with food n water.On station when had a halt she would be clearly audible if a person would be even 50mt. away.Again it raised a question to me why we have this attitude to call our relatives even when we don't care for them what is happening in their life.On the other side we Indians don't have a straight forward attitude to say NO. We think its our duty to go n meet or is this an obligation or would it be bad on their part to say no as some other day people would talking about this issue.Why are we so much caring about society when we don't care too much about self.

From her gossiping on phone it was clear she was going to a destination where she had never been before.Calling so many people n people calling her it was mess in whole coach.She called her relatives to pick her from station at 8 in morning.It created a scene she was only travelling in train.Only Voice in "Bogi" it was like a chai wala screaming to sell his tea.She would be asking every individual who was part of catering service , but finally when got a different answer from all other she was   overjoyed or perhaps she was panicked.It was coach attendant who brought her in qualm.She questioned her twice are you Mister.Then again same story of worry uneasiness withing her...quickly calls being made & informing every known that she would be reaching an hour earlier n what it was just 15mins left when got to know it.
Terrified Terrified Lady Terrified.

Sudden Pack up of bags,pulling recklessly near to gate, asking her relatives to get up who were boarding with her.Why there is so much anxiety within every traveler when destination is about come...would train reach before that 15mins...would that 15mins are so less that she would not reach with baggage at gate....would after that 15mins train would just stop n run away in secs...why so much anxiety.Questionable.
At gate I was standing there too n a person know to city was also standing lady came n started questioning again n again is station about to arrive.Ahhh...Lady when it will come it will be visible to everyone, train would certainly stop for mins n you would have enough time to get down.This is same story for every NEW DESTINATION TRAVELER.I have been a regular traveler to different parts of country every time getting to know different attitude of travelers, every time something different.

Coming back to train, final destination came.I had a relief now no more of loudly gossips no more disturbing voices why is it so.Now this question was troubling me.Why I had a such a feeling why was this with me.Was this her disturbing scenes which was making questions to me.Even I was not knowing about that lady why I was thinking about her so many times.Why she influenced me so much that I was forced by myself to write about her.This is what I call BEAUTY OF LIFE.
