Train Journeys

This year started with train journey local only but you allknow how train journeys in Mumbai are. The train stops only for sometime and within that everyone gets in and gets out and in big stations the crowd is more anddifficult to get in and get out. You need not get out but people will push you out. When I got out with my husband by train I get into gents compartment. Because of myhip bone fracture it is very difficult to get in and get out but my husband would like to go by train for far of stations because it is faster. When I see the crowd I get nervous and pray to Anjaneya to help me and He helps me to get in. On 1st we had to go and see my sis in law who underwent gall bladder operation and tumour operation. She stays in Western Railway in Kandivli. While going also crowd was there but somehow we got place to sit. We had to take two trains one from my place to Dadar and from Dadar to her place. We left at 8a.m. and reached by 10 a.m. Me, my husband and brother in law went. All senior citizens. From there we left at 2 pm. We got train from her place to Dadar fast and it was very difficult to get out, somehow everyone pushed and we got down. After getting down at Dadar it was so difficult to go through the steps because of the crowd. Usually I catch and go through the steps because I feel I will fall down if I walk in the middle. When we went to Dadar Central Railway there was a big crowd. All the trains were going to long distance and there was no Thane train. We had to leave so many trains . The crowd will seem less but when the train comes all will come and get into the train . Somehow in one train my husband was saying get in but seeing the crowd my leg was not going up , somehow got in and somehow went inside and one guy was kind enough to give me place asking his son to get up. Again while getting down was a problem , sometimes the platform is very low and difficult to get down.

I always get scared whether I will fall down though while working I have travelled for 25 years by train but that time I was young and could manage and did not have health problems. Even when I was pregnant I had travelled by 2nd class only. Had got caught during rainy season many times.

Hope God will give me strength to enjoy the train journeys in 2017.
