A Rocking time on the train

2nd february, thursday, evening:
I left early from office to catch a train at 7:45. Reached home by 5:45. Went to shahul's place...and he wants me to goto Rex fashions to pick up his trouser....
I give him a glaring look...and he pleads...i half heartedly consent...
and by the time we start from home, it is already 6:45 and we have to be in Tambaram by 7:45....
We reach Guindy by 7:25, and catch an electric train....but as we near the airport, we get the news that our train has already started....

We rush to the ticket counter to get the tickets cancelled and buy new tickets to go on Rameswaram express. There's no place to sit, no place to stand either....except near the bathroom...another friend who's coming with us is cursing Shahul....

finally the train starts....and we get our seats on reaching Chengalpet...but some more shock treatement awaited us...
Upon reaching Melmaruvathur....a storm of red-clad pilgrims board the train in hundreds...
and our entire corridor stretch has been taken up by these people....

I try to go to the rest room....but i can only see red dresses throughout...
Hmmmm...have to suppress all activities for some time!!!

We reach Villupuram and decide to drink something....we buy three cups of milk...but where's the milk inside???....

It was Hot water 99% mixed with 1% milk.....man, like that was refreshing!!!
Shahul starts sleeping again....but i can hadly sleep without putting myself in a relaxed posture....

We reach Mayavaram at 4 o clock....Ranga comes to the station to pick us up....but he hasn't got the platform ticket....so he ends up paying a fine of 250 bucks....what a start to the morning....
and the adventure ended there.....came back home by around 10:30 Friday night...
