Their journey ticket was in kaashi vishwanath exp from Lucknow to new delhi, tickets were confirm so they dont hav to worry ...A1 3,4 or i guess it was 7,8... They both went to station early around 7:30 pm as d scheduled timings of train is 8:45 pm (departure).. They were sitting on platform 4 ..keh lijiye kismat kharab thi ya fir jaha wo baithe the waha unhe announcement sunayi nhi di.. (As they told me) Train went frm platform 6 ...They missed d train ..nd d bad time starts frm there ..they didnt called me nd told me abt this thinking i must be busy in my studies.. Nd told my sisters too to not to tell me abt this .. But coming to delhi was d priority as they had an appointment with doctor on 17th of feb... Then mumma heard a announcement of 12391 shramjeevi exp .. Eklauti train jisme shayad maine bachpan se travel kiya hai for almost more than 15 years..nd papa ki fav one.. It was arnd 40-50 mins late that day ..they both decided to board shramjeevi to Delhi nd will ask for a seat atleast from TTE.... But the situation was no more different.. The up nd down shramjeevi came side by side... That had created a lot of confusion in their mind... Papa was trying to move their feets faster as he cannot walk properly in normal .. After asking many people .. They boarded d train nd d train departs from lucknow.. I still remember they called me at 10:22 pm saying "hum log gaadi me baith gaye hai, subah utar jaayenge ".. I said "ok, thik se jana ".. They my dad quoted " shramjeevi me hai " that just broken my thought of relaxing in train ... I asked "shramjeevi??..q??. Tickets toh kashi vishwanath me tha".. They said " aayenge toh sb batayenge"..nd they told me the whole incident when i met him... That how TTE asked money from them as a bribe to give them a seat nd a person who gave 500rupees to him instantly got d seat in AC .. My father requested another TTE who was of young age a bit.. He instantly told him to wait for few mins .. Nd given 2 seats to my parents in sleeper S11 .. One was side lower ...winter breezes affected my mom nd she too started to suffer frm cold... Next morning at delhi .. They directly went to d hospital from d station nd me too frm my PG.. The MRI scan being done.. Nd as alwz .. Doctors said.. "We cant do anything .. U just hav to take care by urself ... Operating it will make ur bone more weaker.."
It made me feel like doctor had said -u hav to bear this pain till ur lifetime...coming back to d incident related to trains..
Day after MRI scan.. Date -18-02-2016
Officials said reports can be collected later on 19th..nd i told him abt d delay of their returning train whose tickets was of 20th.. The mighty old queen 12304 poorva exp .. Over 12+ hours late.. My mom got worried as she had to report in d office on monday..nd if they had waited for poorva they will reach on monday evening..(. As today it is rescheduled to depart @ 4:00am frm new delhi ..)
So we decided to take a current reservation to patna in whichever train we get... We took d report from d hospital nd went directly to station.. New delhi station paharganj side..at 3:30pm We saw a huge line regarding cancellation nd refund...as due to this jaat reservation all d trains to nd from panipat were cancelled.. Most of them were sardaarji .. I saw on their cancellation forms train was Sachkhand exp ..i told dad to sit nd i will take tickets for them.. I went in d line ,Opened my mobile nd started to search .. First i saw it was RNC Rajdhani Available in 2AC 4 seats nd 3AC arnd 7 but it got booked within 5 mins ..availability went to zero.. (I couldnt book online ticket as my papa having a pass, but not of a rajdhani.. he said we will get from line by paying bucks at d counter)... I was standing there in line.. Nd d line was clearing very slowly.. Charts of BHUBANESWAR RAJDHANI , HOWRAH RAJDHANI(via patna) ,RJPB RAJDHANI came along no availability was in 12310 nd 12306.. I was still there in line telling my dad abt d situation of availability..he asked me whats happening.. He said "jao pucho toh zara line aage q nhi badh rhi ".. Nd he stands at my place in d line.. Availability was there in RNC raj nd bhubneshwas Raj till that moment.. I went to d window frm side nd found that they had closed d counter ...evn i got in a panic situation for a moment whats happening.. I asked frm d enquiry window 63 that wats is happening.. Nobody was telling anything .... I went to dad nd told him abt d closed counter.. He said" may b they r short of refunding amount ".. That stuck my mind as yes it is a valid reason... Panic situation came for us when we got near abt d departure timings of trains towards mgs or pnbe..i told my dad to go aside d window nd request sumone abt d situation ..to let us book a ticket as refund is not getting issued now...nd specially told him not to get angry if Someone talks rudely... Papa went ahead .. I was still there in line ....he requested one ,two ,three, many people but evryone refused to understand d logic ... They just thinking " y would we allow sumone to go ahead in line"...silly mentality of india!! Point was refund was not issuing atleast let d people book their tickets for journey... Its been half nd hour .. My dad was still standing on his one leg... Requesting people to let book a ticket first ... People at d counter window shouting over d officials... They were i guess started giving them sum no. Or sum thing instead of refund that i heard TDR no. Or sumthing ... Line started to move slowly.. Kinds of fight between d officials nd evry person who came to counter for refund...Rnc rajdhani departed...bhubneshwas availability over.. Howrah raj nd patna raj was already saturated ..sampoorna kranti -NE (heavy waitlist)..time was passing nd with evry rejection my dad was looking at me with a sad face.. dat burns my heart with evry passing second.. I was getting angry over my mom .. "Kya karoge paise bacha ke.. Laao na kr deta hu online hi..".. After a long wait.. @17:00 ... A muslim man allowed papa to book ticket ahead of him.. That time .. It only showed 11 availability in 2AC of 12260 nd 4 available in 3AC ... we wrote 2AC but the counter men booked in 3AC mistakenly .. booked till DHN ...nd they will got down in MGS.. Papa said its fine.. Atleast we got seats .. In morning i was in a deep sleep at my PG.. Nd papa called me when dey get down at MGS in early morning 5:30 1 hr late ..( Due to the problem in shivganga's loco ahead of it by collision with some animal as i came to know today ..)
He asked me is there any train to pnbe now .. I searched nd told him that SANGAMITRA is abt to reach MGS.. Told them to deboard at danapur...
D next call i got in d morning at arnd 11am when they were at patna junction .. They boarded 63210 passenger towards mokama... But it get itself delayed over 1.5hrs till Patna Saheb 17km journey.. I told them to deboard it.. Nd believed that 12568 Rajyarani will make a halt there.. Nd it does. They boarded 12568.. Nd reached mokama arnd 4:30pm .. 2.5 hrs behind its schedule .. In just 90km journey .. A SF category train trailing behind a EMU till BKP .. Nd den again halting for hours at stations .. ECR controllers.. Nd management.... Finally they reached home safely ....

Wondering ... Soldiers too think abt themselves only ... The one who wants security go fight for themselves.... But they dont... They alwz put their countrymen nd country ahead of themself... But they dont evn get respect from their own countrymen...
Thats d trip which was not so good .. But yup .. Things happen!!.. :)..
