write a narrative essay on a strange thing that happened to you
Answers
I ‘ll never forget that day – 09th of September. It was two days after my birthday and I was sitting in a chair on the balcony. I like to stay up at night watching the stars and thinking about some interesting concepts. I remember that it was rather hot. It was about midnight and I was thinking about meeting with my friend from (.... name of the city). I had managed to persuade her to stay with me for a few weeks and I was very happy. I was feeling sleepy and I decided to go to bed when I suddenly saw something like a lightning in the sky. It was very strange because the night was starless. I thought it couldn’t be lightning because neither was it raining, nor was there a thunder. The bright light remained for a few seconds and left a strange line in the black sky. I don’t remember anything else because I must have fallen asleep.
The following day I read in the newspaper that “a house went on fire” and there wasn’t any logical explanation for that. The owners were on holiday somewhere else!
This is maybe the strangest thing that has happened to me and I often think about it.... But the strange happening remains hidden in mystery. And .... maybe we’re not alone in the universe.
Answer:
Though this incident is the one that changed my life and helped me pursue my dreams, it is the most terrific thing that ever happened to me.
On December 1, 2016 (my birthday), I had to go to Kanpur to attend my interview and written exam, the next day(December 2, 2016) at IIT Kanpur. With so much expectations and curiosity, I took flight from Chennai at 10:00 am and reached Lucknow airport around 6:30 pm in the evening after a lay-over in New-Delhi.
This is my first ever solo-trip to North India, and being a non-Hindi speaker, had to trust Google maps for everything. Since the weather is foggy in December, even my near-and-dear suggested to take train since Road transport is not so safe on UP roads, I took an auto from Lucknow airport and reached Charbagh Railway station around 7:30 pm. Then I took a ticket to Kanpur, in a train that goes to Delhi. As the train waits in the platform, I went to TT and enquired him how long it takes to Reach Kanpur. He said that it will take around 1.5 hours and asked me to get inside the train as the train is about to start.
