Being an architect, I always enjoy watching huge, unique and mega structures. Whenever, I plan a vacation trip, I browse through to have an idea about the historical and unique monuments that I could see in the city. This time I was going to be in Patna for the vacation. I had planned the trip along with my family. I had booked my tickets through the online ticket counter and was lucky enough to have confirmed tickets for the journey. I had my tickets in Udyan Abha Toofan Express, which was from Shri Ganganagar to Kolkata Howrah Junction.
The train was scheduled to arrive in Agra Cantt. Station at 12:10 hours. My family and I were at the station at around 11:45am and we were thrilled about the trip. The train arrived on time and it had a half of 30 minutes at the station. It stops for loco reversal, as the train reverses direction in this particular station. We comfortably boarded the train and found our way through to comfortable seas in A/C coach. Our journey began as the train was leaving at 12:40 as per the schedule. It would take almost 19 hours to get to Patna.
I had sat beside the window and began to look out to enjoy the scenery outside. I had the train schedule on my mobile phone. I quickly referred to have an idea about the stations that it world pass through. The time was past 4pm and the next station we were to arrive was Phaphund. It was tea time for all. I could hear the chaiwala within the coach. As soon as he reached near our seats, I called out for tea. It was refreshing hot tea. The journey went on. Food served within the train was good enough and all of us enjoyed the dinner too.
