My creepiest train experience was in Goa last year. I went to go for some official work. I planned to visit various beaches and Satwandi Lake.

I was enjoying the sun,sea,beach,blondes and every thing from cashews to coconut water. My train tickets were confirmed in IInd AC. I was quite relaxed.

[pullquote]She asked me for train number about ticket PNR.

After 10 minutes she was scratching her head.

She said ‘Today there is no train from Madgaon to Mumbai’.

I said ‘What?’[/pullquote]

My departure date was Tuesday. After the ‘bay watch’ episode got over, I thought lets watch ‘Goa to Bombay!’.

I went to Rail way station (Madgaon).

Asked the counter about my trains departure time and whether it is on time.

She asked me for train number about ticket PNR.

After 10 minutes she was scratching her head.

She said ‘Today there is no train from Madgaon to Mumbai’.

I said ‘What?’

Look at the bloody ticket.Can’t you see it printed in bold letter ‘Madgaon to Mumbai’.

She looked at it again and went inside the station masters officer.

He was also confused.He called main head office.Suddenly I had a news.

I was just thinking that ‘Don’t tell me that train got cancelled’

They said ‘Sir this ticket is of yesterday.You are a full day late!’

Oops! hell broke and also a landslide occurred in a jiffy! Wow how intelligent!, forgot the departure date in front of Goan fishes ( in both senses) !

After that my ‘real’ adventure started. I took an emergency ticket in a Volvo bus (Local Volvo). My seat was sleeper upper,last birth!

The driver was hell bent to reach before time!

He drove so rashly that only those who have traveled in sleeper births in last column can relate.

I shall prefer to walk than to come again in that ‘dreaded bus’.

Now I always use reminders!
