It was almost a quarter past six in the morning when we, I and my father, left home to take the train. The right time of the train was 7am and the distance of the railway station from my home was nearly 5kms. My father rode his bike at the best speed he could.It was almost seven when we reached the station. My father instructed me to rush through the fly-over-and board the train on platform number 2. I followed his advice and rushed up stairs with my back-pack (satchel). I heard the train blowing its whistle. I began to run.As soon as I reached the platform the train began to move.I jumped into the compartment nearest to me. I thanked God that I could board the train. After occupying a seat I thought of informing my father of my boarding. As I Thrusted my hand into my jeans I was shocked my mobile was not there. Being puzzled I did not know what to do. I requested one of the co-passengers to allow me to make a call from his mobile. He readily lent it to me.I informed my father first of my losing the mobile and then of the safe boarding the train for Delhi. Hearing this, the co-passenger told me that I had boarded the wrong train and the train for Delhi Was running late and I was travelling in the opposite direction.
