Two incidents which I can never foget

When I was working I used to do overtime on Saturdays or holidays when there is lot of working. I was working in Accounts Department so always more work during month end and year ends. My mother was with me taking care of my elder daughter who was then 3 years I think. Once on a SAturday I had to go to work but I was feeling sorry that I had to go for work. So that day I took my mother also with my daughter to work, thinking I will leave my mother in my cousin's house till I work. It was a rainy day. We came to the station, when the train came by mother got into the train but I could not get into the train, which was rather surprising. Luckily I had presence of mind and told one lady to help my mother to get down at Dadar station. This lady was a sweet one that she helped my mother to get down at Dadar and also told her till your daughter comes dont go anywhere. She made her sit at the platform.

Due to rains the trains were crowded. I could get the second train only and till I reached Dadar I was worried how my mother must be. She does not know any language too. Luckily by God's grace my mother was at the station and she told me that the lady told her in malayalam to wait at the station. After seeing my mother only my life came back. If I had not to see her then everyone would have shouted at me for taking my mother with me. I had not informed my dh too, this was a sudden plan.

Another time me, dh and his niece had to go by train. My niece had just come from native place and did not know hindi. She got into the train and we were left behind. I immediately pulled her down. Luckily she did not get hurt .Dont know what would have happnened if she had been in the train.

 

Manju dear glad to see you here with the first fb and the only fb since 27th April. Yes dear In Mumbai when someone's new it is difficult to board the trains fast and get down at the right station. Getting into lady's compartment is ok rather than getting into the gent's compartment. But till the person gets down the other person will be worried. Glad that you got down at the right station and relieved your husband's tension . Can understand your father's tension since you were young. Good that your father could see you at the station. Thanks for sharing your experience.

 

Rathi dear thanks for your compliments. Glad you enjoy reading my threads. Sorry for the late reply

 

Bhucat dear sorry for the late reply. True dear till I met my mother at the station I was so worried and when I saw her relieved.

 

RK dear thanks for your visit. Ya dear we all have some memories of train journeys.
