Traveling To My favorite city

Happy to share my experience after a long time.

Bangalore is my all time favorite place to visit. I always get over excited if my parents plan for a trip to Bangalore. Even I have gone Bangalore many times the visit I have gone along with my grandparents when I was studying in sixth standard is unforgettable, but it is not my first time visit to Bangalore.

I will narrate the full story ☺

Leaving the school

                                                                         

                                                                             Unfortunately the train timing is 7 in the evening. So that  I have to attend school. But I went to school very eagerly that day, because I am going to skip the last two periods, (Tamil periods) since I have to pack my things and board the train at the correct time my father will pick me early from school. Unlucky again. The English teacher is absent. The Tamil teacher was substituted. My problem is not the teacher but the subject. Writing Tamil notes in the first period is the most horrible thing for me. But fortunately I had the best excuse. I didn't have Tamil materials with me. The seventh period arrived. I informed the whole class that I am leaving. My friends were shocked because I am going to miss the Tamil exam in the last period.

Fact: I am the one who is responsible for the exam.

Boarding the train 

                                                                                 

                                                                              I packed all my things. We went to the railway station through auto. We have to go to the the third platform. Surprisingly a new escalator was opened in the station. Going through the escalator is very exciting since these are not common in my place. We got into the train with our bags. It was a third class AC coach. The compartment was empty because, most people board the train from Tirunelveli or Madurai. So that I can select whatever place I want. Looking outside through the windows is my all time favorite thing during travel. I selected a corner window seat. The engine horn sounded. And the usual announcement sound through the loud speakers (Your attention please, train number ...... ) The train started to move. Me and my grandparents waved to my father and mother. The train moved slowly and the station was out of sight.

Food

                                                                                I watched everything through the window. The AC coach is nice but not as enjoyable and pleasant as regular coach. The regular coach has no glass barrier, so that we can enjoy the pleasant wind outside. The night arrived. My grandmother  brought homemade food with her. The usual food Which we prefer in train is Idly and chutney. Actually I hate Idly. But eating Idly in train with with spicy chutney by looking outside through the window... no one can refuse it. 

No sleep

                                                                                I usually like to sleep in the middle berth. So I spread  a blanket and used my bag as pillow. I had a book and a study light in my hand. I read the book till midnight. Then I felt drowsy. I kept my things aside and lied. Wait! I realized I cant sleep. Its not due to the facility, its the curiosity. How can I sleep ? I kept seeing the clock and outside. I wanted the night to get pass soon. Everyone in my compartment were sleeping. I covered myself using the blanket and forced myself to sleep.

                                                                               Life time achievement!! I woke up four in the morning. I have never done this thing in my life. But still everyone in my compartment were sleeping.Why did I wake? I forced myself to sleep again. I closed my eyes for sometime and opened. It was four past ten. This was strange because an hour passes very easily, if I close my eyes in four in the morning like this during my school working days. 

The morning

                                                                           I hardly slept after that. I woke up seven in the morning again. The compartment was almost empty. The train was stationed in Hosur (Tamil Nadu- Karnataka border). I got down from my berth. My grandfather told that the train will be stationed here for thirty minutes. The climate was very pleasant with cold winds. I got down from the train and bought Samosa and a few snacks. I came back in and unfolded the eating table. The samosa was very hot and  it was tasty! Wait. Did I brush my teeth? Who cares those things in travel!! 

                                                                              The train started to move from the station. slowly slowly the speed increased. After completing my snacks I went to the train footboard and sat there.I watched outside. I realized that we have reached Karnataka by seeing the words in the walls. It was written in Kannada. I saw many tall buildings. Most buildings were glass covered. I didn't miss anything to see through the train.

      The train slowed down. My grandfather told that we have to skip 4 stations. Our destination station was Cantontment, Bangalore.
