I wanted...

to go to Indore. So I decided to go to Indore from AK by MG train , but I missed the evening train. But the people at station suggested me to go and catch the train at AKOT. You will get it there, if you go by road, as train has slow speed .
Ok, then I started my journey by Bus to AKOT , and reached there but the train was already gone. Then I returned to Bus stand , but got there that the last bus for AK has already gone & I need to stay there .
So by this i can't get to Indore by next day . So, i need to cancel my plan to Indore. But I want to travel in MG.
So I decided to catch train and go to AK next day morning. As we do I reached station half hour early before the train is scheduled. But the scinerio what I got there was whole different.
The station was with very few people , Ticket counter was closed. So I enquired about train with some local people available and got that train comes about 1-2 hour late than scheduled time and Ticket counter get open before 5 min of the train.
So now I need to wait for one hour more.
The station was with different type of water feeding system , old type of electric switches, etc.
Then after waiting for more than 2 hours , i got the rhythmic melodious sound of Diesel engine.
I was stunned when I saw a brown coloured rakes arriving at station. As I was unaware about the colour. Train came about an hour late and i was full tired in hot sunny day at a station that was unknown to me.
But as train came hauled by YDM from MHOW , and I entered the train my whole tiredness that I was having was gone. & I was re boosted with a new energy. Was amazed seeing the Sleeper coaches, row of continuous windows, yellow lights, etc.
Enjoyed the journey. It was a great experience and always be in my memory.
Now it has being called of due to Gauge Conversion but still everyone who knows this train ,miss the train. #GC
Now a New passenger or Express will run on this track with much higher speed .
