Answer 1

Answer:

series of Unfortunate Events

I sat down with relief as I ticked off the last task in the checklist. I wanted everything to be perfect as it was my best friend’s marriage in Mumbai. The alarm rang next morning, I woke up in excitement and booked a cab to the railway station. Everything was going perfectly until I got stuck in a traffic jam. I reached the railway station late but on the sight of the train still waiting on the platform, I hurried and somehow managed to get into the train. I breathed a sigh of relief and got comfortable. It was only when the Ticket Collector came, I realised that I had been in the wrong train for two hours. I panicked and deboarded the train at the next station. I tried booking a ticket for the next train to Mumbai but there was no availability. On coming back from the ticket counter, I realised that my luggage was missing. Even after hours of finding and reporting it, there was no trace of it. I got tired and lost hope, tried booking a cab with the minimal amount I was left with in my pocket. The cab couldn’t reach on time as it was raining heavily. Disheartened, I finally walked my way to the nearest hotel, contacted my parents and recited them the series of unfortunate events that happened during the day. Alas, I couldn’t even make it to my best friend’s wedding.

Answer 2

THE TRAIN TRAGEDY

I was very excited to go Mumbai for my best friend's marriage. This was the first time I was going to travel by train from Banglore to Mumbai. My train was going to leave Banglore by 6 pm in the evening, but I leaved my home at 5:30 pm it takes almost 45 minutes to reach railway station. When I leaved my home I got stuck in the Banglore evening traffic, but finally after I reached railway station a bit late. The train was there on the railway station I took my luggage in my hands and boarded the train. I sat I'm my berth messaged my friend I have leaved Banglore see you tomorrow morning. After 2 hours when I was relaxed then I got to know that the train was going to the opposite direction ,as I saw the map in the mobile. Then I asked an uncle sitting next to me "where is the train going", then the Uncle said going to Chennai, and I go to know I am sitting in Chennai Express. Then when the train stopped at the station somewhere in Karnataka.I called my friend told the tragedy that happened with me and apologized for not coming to his marriage. Then I came back to Bangalore by bus with an expression of tiredness and sadness.
