My First Train Journey
Whenever we have to travel long distances within the country,we can choose to travel by train or by air.I still remember the first train journey that I took when I was just about four years old.After that journey,I have made several journeys by train but that first one still keeps in my mind.
We had to go to Madras,India,where my father had to attend a conference on the 18th of December,2008.Since we hadn't been to Madras and the winter vacation was falling during the dates of the conference,it was decided that we left for Madras on December 15.After a long wait,at last the 15th of December came and I was very excited.I would be going on my firstever train journey,enjoying an outing and seeing new places.
The train that we took was known as the G.T.Express,i.e.the Grand Trunk Express.It was about evening when we got on the train.Inside we had dinner and then my parents and my elder brother all fell asleep.I could not get asleep as I was just too excited.I remember that I sat beside a window so that I could see the fun outside but things didn't go that way.No sooner had we finished our dinner than it was dark and nothing was seen from the window.
It was only at the stops that I would see the rush and life on the platform.After a few stops,I finally fell asleep.When I woke up in the morning after a comfortable sleep at night,I was very thrilled to look outside.Oh,what a panoramic beauty it all was.
The thirty six hours had just flown by and we were at the Madras Station.I cannot ever forget my first journey by train even after eight years and I do wonder if I ever will.
