Once I was
travelling to Chennai by train. It was a long tiring journey. The train had to
be my lodge on wheels. So I settled myself in my cabin comfortably. The train
belonged to Rajdhani class and travelled quite fast. I made friends with the
co-passengers who were sharing the cabin with me. Most of the time, I was
engrossed in the new novel I had started reading recently and was carrying
along.
Watchfulness,
alertness, and caution have been my first principles and watchwords that
determine my response to an emergency. Owing to the benefits I have reaped from
them, I love to be cautious all the time. My cautious attitude has saved me
many a loss and untoward consequence.
Often I
would look out and see the ever changing vistas outside the train window. The
rumble of the wheels would often echo in the ears. Thus ever moving, shaking
amidst jolts the train was heading towards the destination.
The night
fell; the lights came to life and outside darkness studded with star-like
lights of fleeting buildings kept reminding me I was a traveler. I slept on my
ever shaking and vibrating berth. In the middle of night I woke up to go to the
restroom. As I got off the bunk I saw a group of youngsters embarking on the
train from a platform where it had halted for a while. I had not seen these
boys before in the coach. I felt suspicion rising in my heart. Given the latest
rise in anti-social and terrorist activities across the country, I felt
extremely suspicious about these boys. I began weighing my options. I decided
to wait until the train halted at the next station.
After fifteen minutes the train stopped at Bhopal. The first thing I did was inform the security about the suspicious characters who had suddenly disappeared into thin air. The security checked the coach. To everyone’s shock and dismay, the security found a bag that belonged to none of the passengers in the coach. Later on it was found it had a bomb in it. The security thanked me for my circumspection and prompt action. My caution had saved many lives once again!
