Question

Isnt travelling by train a lot of fun? Write a paragraph in about 130 words describing your experience with a fellow traveller in a train

Answer 1

It was 28th April, 2016 and I was very excited because I was going to my native place, Kolkata with my mother and this time by train!

Our train was scheduled to depart by 11:15 a.m. but was delayed by 1 hour. As soon as the train came into the platform, the passengers rushed to get into the train. There was a little commotion as passengers searched for their seats. With a lot of difficulty we could find our seats and placed our luggage.



I was flabbergasted to see the scenic beauty of rural India.

By the time the train started for Kolkata we had settled down comfortably and I was busy observing the children who were near about my age.

After we settled down, we started chit-chatting with co-passengers. I discovered most of them were going to their home town to spend summer vacations. Some of them were going to hill station, Darjeeling for their holiday trip.

Since the train was passing through the country side of different states like Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, I was flabbergasted to see the scenic beauty of rural India.

In Karnataka, we saw many paddy fields where farmers were harvesting crops. Cows were grazing at the field. The huts were made up of bamboo stems and mud.

Andhra landscape was dotted with hills. In Orissa, we passed over rivers and streams. I was happy to see the longest platform of the Asia, Kharagpur.

The train was about to reach Howrah station and I was very eager to meet my grandparents. My grandfather was waiting at the platform to receive us. Though it was a long, tiring 29 hours train journey, but it was really a memorable experience for me.

Answer 2

Travelling in a train is a great fun.

During my travel to Delhi, I met with an absolutely wonderful man.

He was educated yet was funny at the same time.

We instantaneously became friends and chatted on many things.

He was a professor by education and had a keen interest in cricket.

Me being a die-hard fan of cricket, was so fascinated to have a chat with him.

The four hour train journey went of just like that as we discussed so many topics.

I didn’t know that exchange of knowledge was this interesting.

I felt that his students are very lucky to have him as their teacher.

Though we had a generation gap, I was so comfortable talking with him.

Once we reached our destination, we exchanged our contact details and left with lots of positivity and satisfaction.
