Adventures of Ticketless Travel part-II

With downhearted,very difficult to digest,time for being apart from my friends.We were three of us set to travel and towards the railway station with huge baggage's.Some friends accompanied to send off us.Waiting in the platform for the arrival of train and my friends with tears.

Train arrived and we all were in hurry, as the train would depart within 10 minutes from its arrival.There was lot of rush in our compartment and co-passengers shouting because our baggage's was blocking their way.As I was adjusting the bags underneath the seat and unaware that train started off from station,peeped head through window to see whether my friends were still shedding tears.I was tremendously shocked to see the train moving and I missed an opportunity to wave my hands to tell "bye" to my dear friends.Then settled in our seats to start our journey with tons and tons of sorrow.I was searching my purse for the ticket to be signed by the TTE(Travellers Ticket Examiner).Oh my god !!!!!!!! I left the purse with my
friends who were in the station,and I was laughing for my careless behaviour where other two were struck and tensed.Went towards a TTE to enquire what to do??????He told us to cancel the ticket which was with our friends in the station and we were asked to pay him the actual amount of ticket by us, subsequently he issued a duplicate travel ticket.Then other two friends took a deep breathe. I enjoyed the situation which happened and felt very bad to leave my friends.

These are some instances which paved way for responsibilities in my life.Whenever I am ready to travel I am sure to have my tickets with me and have a quick check for a smooth journey.My ticketless travel ends with this part-II.

Adventures of Ticketless Travel,,,,,,,,part-I

Got up at 5O'clock in the morning to catch the train which will departure exactly on time.I was accompanied with my friend where we both reached the station,by the time the train had arrived.Then I went into ladies compartment and my friend in general compartment because we didn't book our tickets.After sometime the train started to move and I was enjoying the sightseeing in my window seat.Train then stopped in one of the station where still more passengers travelled to reach their destination.

Then called my friend via mobile to know what he was doing?Albeit we were busy chatting some thing interesting,I asked him to give my ticket and scolded that"shouldn't you give me the ticket before boarding the train?" My friend said if "I give my ticket how will i travel without ticket".I then wanted to know where my ticket was? Instantly he replied that he has only his ticket.I was puzzled,then my friend asked "didn't u take ticket for you?"I told no.......... He started shouting over the phone and I was laughing because I thought he would have taken ticket for me also.My friend became very nervous as TTE(Travellers Ticket Examiner) came to check in their compartment.I was enjoying the journey with some panic and on other side my friend still shouting for behaving ridiculously.By the time another station arrived, where he decided to buy ticket for me.He got down from the train but unfortunately train departed within five minutes.

I started to enjoy the scenery out of my window without any problem because I left it to my friend.He got down in every station trying to buy ticket for me but ,did not succeed as train left from every station within five to ten minutes.Finally train stopped in one of the station for half an hour where, my friend ran towards the ticket counter very fast to buy me a ticket.At last I travelled half way without ticket to reach my destination. I felt very bad for my friend who got down in every station to buy me a ticket.The fascinating thing is that TTE didn't come to ladies compartment otherwise i would have entered into hot water,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,To be continued,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
