General Reservations!!

"kya karein sir, 4000 main kahan se guzara hoga usliye ye bhi wahin jaa rahe thein tho maine socha inko bhi lechalein phirr tho apki marzi hain" said the driver who had already got some other persom into the cab, least bothered about wat was happening i spoke " bhayya jaldi chalo meri train miss hojayegi nahin tho, "...." arey saar aise kaise miss hojayegi pintu yadav jab aapke sath hain ....intercity hain kyaa "...." haan ticket nahin hain koi jugaad hain kyaa apka wahan" i asked him. " hain tho sahi sir magar season hi aisa hain maine nagpur ke liye 3 mahinonse kar ke baitha hoon abhi tak WL kya batraoonn ... aapko blah ...blah...blah" he went on and on and on...o mi god mi only priority was to atleast get a Genral ticket.....getting into the platformm mi god looking at the long queue raju srivatsav's words ringed in mi ears " itne log kahan se aate hain aur aate hain tho jaate kahan ko hain aur phirse kyon aate hain" heheh, i laughed to miself ,of course the laugh was full of nerves wriiten all over it. Mi animal instincts took over and i waded into the crowd putting my hand into the crowd and some how managed to get a genral ticket " Genral ko sleeper main convert kara lena TT ko bolke" i remembered mi friend's advice, so started scanning the whole platform for the TT, finally found one " Sir wo emergency thaa sir usliye genral ticket liya hain, seat mil sakti hain kyaa", " dekho bhai agar convert karna hain tho bata ,magar seat tho sarein barein pade hain koi asharam bapu kaa seminar hain delhi main" the TT replied, aaaan ye tho TT ka roj ka natak hain i thought to miself " ok sir kardo".....taking the ticket i enterd the train finding an empty upper berth i laid down...after sometime the TT came "Ujjain tak aaraam karlo uske baad tho train ki maa behen hojayegi " he said , i slept for 2 hours and then got down to get something to eat and stood at the door enjoying the cool wind blowing just then one chai wallah bumped in, seeing him i asked " bhayya ye ujjain kitni door hain"
" agla station wohi hain sirjee, 5 min main ajayegaa" . hmmmm dekhte hain kitne log chadthee hain, after 10 mins came ujjain with it brought thousands and thousands of people who were jumping into the train as if the world was coming to an end, dont worry mil jayegi seat i consoled miself and then got down to the platform to eat something after returning back ......shocked i was to see that leave alone a seat i wondered whether i wud place to stand...there were people almost 3 times the capacity of the train, somehow managed to get a place near the Bathroom.... Wow wat a sight with 3 people breating down mi neck and 4 people nibbling at my feet the train started for delhi....
