A place where i dump all the stupidities arising in my head.No second thoughts given.I am some one who remember my past with great nostalgia, so u may find me insanely talking about all those memories.My mumbles about today too crawl inside this.I do yell to my future too.

Wanna buy a train .
I had typed this some months ago and had discarded then itself. Since my blog is starving now a days I'm posting it here.
Warning: This post may contain emotional outbursts which may not suit some readers.
Lemme be straight .I missed my train a couple of hours ago.Now what came to your mind may be a girl looking outside the vehicle impatiently in a traffic jam and gazing at her watch frequently.On reaching the railway station she runs behind the moving train and stops a little bent,panting at the end of the platform.But my case is completely different.
I had booked this ticket one month ago.Unlike my usual sun day night journeys to Chennai , this time it is a Mon day.Obviously a different train but I didn't notice.I was very reluctant to leave home while it rains.I wanted to be here and enjoy every drop of the season.The train and schedule was programmed in my mind according to the usual one.I didn't bothered to see the train name,number or time.I had enough time during the day so that I visited the aunt who was the last in my visiting list.I packed my things as if I had to engage my time with something.
When it was time to leave dad started asking the routine reminders of keeping keys,ID cards,purse....I got irritated ," I'm no more a kid.I know how to take care of such things".This time it was he who got irritated. I again started talking under my lips about leaving home so early . Dad and mom kept quiet this time . We bought hot banana chips and halwa on the way , still one more hour left. As we reached the railway station mom noticed it was almost empty.I couldn't find any info about Chennai express.I approached information counter.When I said Chennai express , the one who was in that counter demanded my ticket."This is a Chennai mail ticket.The train left 2 hours ago ".I could make out every thing in that moment.A flash blinded me for that moment.
I was so embarrassed to face my parents.But we thought of alternatives and ended up with a decision to leave tomorrow.I phoned my superior and got leave for tomorrow too.On the way back , dad kept advising me one after another.I nodded my head in a certain interval.And he hit back with my own point ," You 'll be a kid for us always..."
....Hope I didn't burst emotionally .
I took a resolution to be more careful in everything so that I 'll loose the label " care less".
Later my friends asked me 'Jeeth syndrome?' ...Oh yeah I have watched 'Jab we met' many times.

JEET SYNDROME !!!WOW ,i love the terminology.It is so comforting to know that some special people are always watching our back...parents never get enough of loving us.Nice post Bhavya.
Reminds me of a Friday(24th July), I saw a girl running through Chennai central platform to catch a train, I’m not sure if she was careful or careless …..anyway she plans to buy a train now !
Hmm... if u are interested in partnership, just dial me :)
Cheers

@ Kavitha
Thank you .Thats true ....even if I fight with my parents at time not to consider me as a kid.
@ Deepu
:) ...That was not my carelessness.And this incident took place on my way back that time itself.
@ Randeep.
he he ..:)
I think everyone has at least one similar experience. The positive thing is that we usually gain more than what we lost by such incidents.
That s true Sandeep. This incident imparted the habit of double checking everything in my life.Where all are the stepping stones of a better tomorrow lay!!!
Reminded me of my missing days...few years ago i had managed to miss the same train twice in a day....funny i thought i was the only jack-head:)
This happens!
And i feel if such incidents haven't taken place in people's lives it should happen. It teaches several lessons and the earlier the better in life. :)
Well expressed post!
@ Bakfire

@ Indrani

@ Sonu
Thank you .I dint miss that time but was about to ....
Try Google reader .
@ Sujatha
Ohh...even you want a train !!!
So I'm not a rare species.
वैसे मेरे साथ भी ऐसा कुछ मिलता जुलता हो चुका है
ट्रेन का आरक्षण 12 :08 का था जिसका मतलब रात को 12 के बाद जो की अगले दिन में तब्दील हो जाता था
और मैं इन सबके बीच कन्फ्यूज्ड हो गया और मेरी ट्रेन भी छूट गयी
@ Anil Kanth
Yeah , thats a real confusing situation.Once I had waited to watch a movie at 12.30 which was already shown the previous day at 12.30am
What a touching post! LOL
Well, we've all had similar experiences so I can connect to it.
@ Sanand
