Yo, February is a big deal for me, so I wanna share an old adventure I had back in 2009. It was February 18th and I hopped on the 1033 (now 11033) Pune Darbhanga Gyan Ganga Express train. See, my wedding was scheduled for February 27th and I was in Nashik, needing to get to Muzaffarpur in Bihar. I had a few options, either taking the 11061 Pawan Express or switching trains in Allahabad (now prayagraj), or even traveling from Nashik to Patna on the 13202 LTT Express or the 12141 superfast train. But you know what? I wanted to do something different, so I booked a 2AC ticket on this Manmad to Darbhanga train. It was Wednesday, the only day this train ran. Rumors were going around that it might become a superfast train, just like the Pune-Varanasi 22131. Anyways, I got on the train after taking the 2117 Godavari Superfast Train from Nasik to Manmad. It was on time, though it arrived at Manmad 10 minutes late. I waited around 3 hours for the train since it arrived 30 minutes behind schedule. When I finally boarded, I realized this was my first time in a 2AC class, and my seat was the lower berth. I stashed my heavy bags beneath it, but oops, they had put the bedding there. The other three seats were taken by a family. The train started moving, and with thoughts of my upcoming marriage on my mind, I dozed off. I'm an early riser, so when I woke up, the train was at Itarsi. I called my parents to update them on my situation. Then I grabbed some breakfast from the pantry car. Can't remember what it was, though. A little later, the rest of the people in my cabin woke up. Turns out, they were an aunt, uncle, and their son, all heading to Varanasi for a pilgrimage. We reached Allahabad on time, where I had lunch. Oh, and I snacked on samosas and chips during the journey. Once we passed Allahabad, I knocked out again until around 7 pm when we were close to Varanasi. The family got off at Varanasi, and no one else joined me in the cabin. I grabbed dinner from the pantry and went to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, the train was at Hajipur, and we stayed there for a while due to some crossings on a single line section. Finally, we left Hajipur and arrived at Ramdayalu, where we stopped for another 25 minutes. From there, it was a short ride to Muzaffarpur, and we docked at platform 3. Overall, the journey wasn't exactly unforgettable, but it was still pretty special to me, for various reasons.
