Answer 1

It is a wonderful experience in spending time in the waiting room of a railway station .I once had such an experience which I would like to share with you all. I was too early for train and it was terrifying to keep standing in the standing in the station with too much of crowd here and there, there was a lot of hustle and bustle and so it made me too irritated .There were people boarding from the train and their families to welcome them It was my first journey after some 10years or 8years and so I was not at familiar with all that which was happening .I was suggested to sit in a so waiting room for some time when I had asked a worker. I was silly standing there for so long. It was around 10:15 when I entered the waiting room. I felt odd Sitting there alone but after some time there were families and families coming and sitting. I felt better as I was being accompanied by someone or the other .It was weird to listen to people’s personal talks and stare at what they do but I could not stop from doing that. It was around 15 minutes that I was sitting there, I felt hunger and asked one women,” where could I find a food   shop? “.She was an old lady and said,” instead you can snacks”. She offered me a cup of coffee in a thermos and some chips .I thanked her and felt good .we had a warm conversation and eventually became good friends. There were now too many people in the small room. There was a family and through their dressing sense I felt they were from Rajasthan. The lady was wearing a ghagra and some silver jewels. They had two kids Wearing big turbans. There was another south Indian family who looked well educated through their behaviour. We all were stranger to each other and were staring each other south Indian family who looked well educated through their behaviour. We all were strangers to each other and were staring each. I was feeling odd when a women was staring at me since long time and asked me which place I am going to. I simply said Hyderabad. She was too suspicious and went on asking me a dozen or more questions and I was simply answering her. While talking time went on she came and sat near .Was feeling scared and so I said her I am late for my train and we both became a good friends but she was not my age and it was a great experience. I have now learned how to behave with strangers and their questions and even to handle the railway station. At last my train had arrived at 12:45pm and I went to Hyderabad
