The departure time for my train was 4.25 P.M from New Delhi Railway Station but as an over canny and calculating person, I reached the station 45 minutes before the departure.
I plunged directly into my coach, glided smoothly through that narrow corridor and reached my seat number 32. (It was 2 tier Coach)
I saw two girls, (aged between 25–30) along with a lady (aged around 60) had already occupied seats. I exclaimed
“Excuse me, seat number 32?”
Lady : “Yes please, we have 3 seats here”
Me : “Okay” !
I quickly settled down and started my virtual maneuvers of getting involved in an interesting conversation with those two girls. Inquisitiveness overtook me in fractions of second and I found myself thanking God for such a wonderful surprise.
A moment later, an old man from nowhere appeared on our seats. The girls were addressing that man as Dad. I quickly understood the matter. Before I could curse my luck, the old lady beamed her gracious smile towards me and said
“Excuse-me dear, we have three seats here and one seat in some other coach, can you please shift there so that your uncle can shift here?”
Me : “Okay, what’s the coach number and seat number?”
Lady : “Coach number ** and seat number xyz”.
Me : “Okay Give me two minutes”.
I got off the train, went to the particular coach where that old person had his seat. I looked at the passengers’ reservation chart outside the coach to get the details (name and age) of my co passengers, found a girl named N*****, age - 28 on the adjacent seat.
I came back to my original seat and bid the farewell to that family
"MEN WILL BE MEN"
and later that night, the conversation says all
Men will be Men, isn't it ?
and later that night, the conversation says all
Nice..one..
