essay on A Journey In A Crowded Train in simple and easy words
Answers
This is what happened with me last month. My mother is a highly religious minded lady. The Kumbh Fair was to be held at Haridwar. She insisted on attending it. She made it a point of prestige. Since my father was away to Assam, I had to agree to accompany her.
When I reached the platform, the colour of my cheeks faded. The whole platform was crowded with men, women and children all going to Haridwar and all waiting for the same train! I began to perspire at the prospect. How shall I enter ? began to feel giddy. My mother noticed my worry. There was sympathy in her looks.
At last the train arrived. It was packed to capacity. Some passengers were standing on foot-boards. Some were sitting on the roofs to coaches. Fortunately , there was space in ladies compartment so my Mather sat there. Then I made a frantic effort to squeeze myself into some male compartment. I went to the other side of the railways line and got into a compartment through a window.
The compartment was virtually a battlefield. The passengers were quarrelling and pushing. They were abusing one another. There was a great noise. All the doors and the windows were blocked. It was suffocating to sit there. I began to pine for a breath of air. I was badly perspiring. Children were crying. Some old men coughed and spat inside the compartment. They could not even blow their noses outside as there was no room. The smokers made the situation worse.
At last the train started. We got some fresh air. I heaved a sigh of relief. A beggar began to sing loudly. Then he begged for a pice. A hawker sold his goods to the highest bidder.
To make the best of the worst, I started enjoying the situation. All the passengers had by now, settled in their seats. Some of them started playing cards. One of the passengers, dressed in white, kept boring us with his moral sermons. Just then, God knows from where, the ticket examiner appeared on the scene. To our great surprise, the person who had been lecturing on morality and honesty, had no ticket. He was badly exposed and put to shame.
After a few hours, we reached our destination. There was no question of our getting down on the wayside statins.
I hope it will help you....
A journey by train is among the most enjoyable journeys. I travel long distance quite often and have travelled via buses, trains as well as aeroplanes. While each of these journeys has its set of benefits, I personally love train journeys.
A journey by train is the best if you have enough time and have to travel long distance. This is the only means of transport that allows you to sleep comfortably during the journey. I prefer travelling at night. I can comfortably sleep in the train during my journey and wake up fresh and head to work during my official trips. One of my most memorable journeys by train was when I travelled from Delhi to Lucknow last year. I went to visit my relatives in Lucknow. During this train journey, I met a group of college students. The group was lively, cheerful and extremely friendly.
As I was sitting right besides them, they offered me some snacks and cold drink. They soon began conversing with me. They narrated some of their experiences and I shared mine. I also gave them career advice. The six hours journey passed very swiftly and we reached Lucknow. As we parted, we exchanged our phone numbers and promised to keep in touch.
