A railway Journey

Travelling is  great and inspiring  experience. It is at once instructive and  interesting. If we travel  second  class  at a railway  journey gives us a true pictures of India  as the majority of the Indians travel second  class. 

I had a great desire to go to simla. I was overjoyed  when I received  a letter  from my cousin to visit   them during  summer  vacation  my father  gladly allowed me to go to   we went in the month  of May . I was  a sudden  plan to go simla  we reached  the Railway Station  in half -an -hour  before  the arrival  of the train.  There  was a great  rush at the platform. I had no worries, since  I already  had reserved  seat .I engaged  a coolie and made my way to the train .  There  was a great hustle  bustle . The passenger  sat eagerly  waiting  for the train. After  ten minutes  the train  streamed in.  It was fully  packed  but I was lucky  enough to sit near  the window . After five minutes the guard whistled and waved  the green flag. The train  streamed off soon it gathered speed . Our  compartment was packed  to its capacity.  Some passengers were  chatting  while others were  playing or reading newspapers. Then the ticket checker entered  and checked our tickets. There were green fields  on  either sides. Cattle  were grazing the trees  seemed  to be running away . At last I reached  Kalka . I had my lunch  and changed  for simla the train  for  simla  looked  like a toy it  was very  interesting sight  to see the engine  climbing  the Hill like a serpant as the train  went higher,  I saw tall trees of pine . Houses  on hills looked  very tiny. The train went  zig-zag  path.  It passed  through  many  tunnels . The was very cool  and scarey  as the train went higher and higher.  After  five hours  pleasant journey, I reached  simla.  My cousin was waiting at the station for my arrival  and received me cheerfully. 

I had a lot of fun and was a memorable   journey . I had lots  of experience  which gave me a lots of memories  and mingle  with other people  make new friends and spend  some quality of time with so loving  and caring family
