Journey from Delhi to Bihar

Hello Everyone.. How is Life... Keep smiling and spreading Love and Happiness. Every People find happiness in doing  things they like.. I find happiness in Travelling.I am going to share one of my  Journey that I Can never forget in my life. This Journey is about the College vacation. Semester Exams are over  and we have conquered the exam bravely with one night study Plan. This is the normal study pattern in Engineering Colleges. We do all the hardwork of one semester in one night. All bags packed and I am very happy to visit my home and family and the most difficult part of vacation is getting reservation in Indian Railways according to your plan, and icing on the cake is getting reservation from Delhi to Katihar (Bihar) in Air conditioned Boggy. After trying all my luck I got reservation in Mahananda Exp which is scheduled to depart from Delhi Junction at 6:00 am. I have travelled night long journey from Roorkee to reach Delhi Junction hoping to sleep cosy in my reserved berth.

I have booked for 3rd AC Sleeper but with God Grace my Seat is upgraded to 2nd AC Sleeper Class. My friends often told me that I am very lucky and now I also started to believe to be lucky,  but I have no idea that God has planned something else behind my seat upgradation. 

It is truly said by someone that we are all traveller in the world whose destination is already booked by world best tour planner called 'God'

 

Finally the Train arrived and all Passengers got seated in their respective seats. My compartment comprising of 6 seat was vacant and I was all alone in the compartment. I felt like a King in the Compartment and thanked God for making look my Journey king size. After having the breakfast I planned to go for a cosy sleep. As soon as I went to sleep I heard a sound of something falling down. I took a look and found out that a old man has fallen from his lower berth into the floor of the train. I suddenly rushed to him and to my shock I found he was bleeding from his mouth. On the nearby berth one old lady started crying and was shouting for help.. She was the wife of the old man lying on the floor. The train boggy had few passengers around 20 people but none of them came to rescue, may be they thought that the old man is going to die and did not wanted to get into all this. I decided to take this on my shoulder. I picked up the old man back to the berth  and wiped the blood from his mouth with the towel.I could see the blood was coming from inside the throat. I got frightened but continued with courage. I made him lie down. His wife was crying continuously and I was consoling her...Now on seeing the situation getting under control few co passengers came to inquire about the situation and gave consolation to the old lady. I knew that things are going to get worse as the blood has not stopped and if some medical help  is not given immediately, it will prove fatal. I enquired the old lady about the health condition of the old man . She told me that he has suffered from Brain Haemorrhage and is a diabetic patient with high blood sugar and they were returning to their village Khagaria after taking the Treatment in Delhi.. Doctor has also advised them not to travel. Their only son was working in MNC in Delhi and as his leave was not sanctioned so he could not accompany them. I told her to call her son and I went to search TTE (Travelling Ticket Examiner) ... Mr Meena was the TTE  and on hearing the happing he immediately called to the Railway Hospital, Driver of the Train, Guard and other personnel. And he confirmed me that very soon help will be provided and asked me to get ready the luggage of the patient.  .. I went back to the old man and in no time Mr Meena came to inform that the Medical team will arrive at the next stoppage and if requied the patient will have to get down here.  The next stoppage was Aligarh Junction. The old lady was scared of getting down in Aligarh as the place was completely unknown and she was all alone with the patient. She kept repeating how will I manage in this scenario. My son is in Delhi and it will take time for him to reach here.. I am all alone.... I was consoling her that everything will be alright. Doctor with the team will be coming and provide all necessary help and will not charge any money. It is the facility provided by Railways to all the passenger. She again called her son and asked him to come soon. His son assured him to arrive at earliest.... I was sitting beside the old man. He has gripped my hand and i could feel the hand grip geeting tighter as the pain increases. He has had internal injury and was under painful condition. The Train has arrived Aligarh Junction and Mr Meena came to us and informed that Doctor along with the team has arrived.  He asked me to explain the condition of patient to the Doctor and on explanation doctor asked his team of 3 person to take the patient to Railway Hospital. I helped the old lady with their luggage to get off the train. And the stretcher was brought and kept near the gate of the Boggy as it could not be taken inside due to insufficient space. The patient was picked up by medical team and kept in stretcher. As the old man was picked up in the stretcher, he holded my hand and was asking to come along with his facial action. I could not decide and thought how can I leave my train and vacation. I only have 14 days vacation and out of which 4 days are gone in travelling to and fro . Rest 10  days are left to Enjoy with family and friends. If i go with them i will have to again reschedule my journey which is one of the difficult task and my vacation will also reduce. ... Somehow I managed to take out my hand out of the old man hand and gave him assurance that Doctors are there they will take care and your son is also coming. Everything will be alright. You will be fine. Me Meena (TTE) informed the driver and guard that the patient has been taken out and now the train can move forward. He also asked me to get into the train as the train is going to depart. I went to old lady and asked her to take care, she also caught my hand and asked to stay as this place is unknown to her and she is scared of the condition. The train gave the signal, the guard has waived the Green flag, blown the whistle signalling the train driver to depart and Mr Meena is calling me to get into train..... This is the moment of Life... Which will decide what type of Human being we are..  The train has started moving, The doctor along with the team has picked up the old man and made their move, the old lady is holding my hand and tears are continuously rolling down from her eyes. My heart has overpowered my brain and ordered to stay and accompany them to hospital. I shouted to Mr Meena (TTE) that My luggage are in the train. Pull the chain and again Mr Meena was there for the rescue. He pulled the chain and I think I have never seen or heard of TTE pulling the Chain to stop the Train.  I got my luggage and went to the Hospital with the old lady.. ... In the Hospital immediate treatment was given to old man and their son has also arrived . Things were under control and I was very happy at my heart.  Now I knew why my reservation was suddenly upgraded from 3rd tier AC class to 2nd tier 7AC class. God has his own way of doing things.  Let your faith be bigger than your fears
