Trip to Bhubaneswar

Its 3:30 am in Singapore and I am not able to stop thinking about what HR has told me.
Not able to get the incidents out of my mind, I so want to be in HR’s shoes and be there when all this happened, see it, feel it and be in it.
Spoke to HR after a long time, for he was busy with work and his so called swings, and I understanding it gave him the time to come out of it ….

What HR has told me seems like a story out of a Bollywood script but it is at the same time so real, so believable and so true. I don’t know how HR has managed to give me a new incident one after one but I am not at all concerned coz they are good and more over they have emotions, they have feelings, they have their own moments of grief, sadness and love.

This all happened just before he had to go for his medical college, he wanted to go on a trip by his own, to be with himself, to be free of all the mess – his brain.

He decided to go alone to the Temple City of India – Bhubaneswar, with no fixed itinerary and completely clueless of how this trip would be.

He boarded the Konark Express which travels from Bombay to Bhubaneswar, as the train leaves around midnight from Vizag so he planned to board and doze off, but as it always happens it is never so simple and easy with HR. This trip was going to change his life; he didn’t realize that he was on one of the most important journeys of his life.

When he boarded his compartment, most of the passengers were sleeping, except for the oldies who were coughing the compartment out, the uncles snoring and the mothers trying to pacify the kids in sleep.

He had requested for the top berth so that he could just board and doze off; he threw his bag, used it as a pillow and lay down to sleep when he noticed that on the diagonally opposite middle berth there was a hand which was out of the quilt and lay there.

It was a girl for the hand had some fancy "LAKH KADA’s", HR thought that the girl was one of those from Bombay who had a penchant for such accessories and dint think much about it. Somehow sleep was evading him and all he could do was continue looking at the female. Suddenly the female changed her sleeping posture and her hand went in the quilt but now her feet got uncovered. She was wearing a single anklet in her left foot which looked good on the color of her skin.

Thinking of how this female actually looked like he dozed off only to be awakened long after the train reached the destination and a voice trying to wake him up. When he opened his eyes, he felt he was looking at an angel and thought that he was dreaming but when some drops of water was splashed on him, he was shocked and sat up only to realize that the angel face was not a dream but reality ….
