Bin Ticket ke Yatri!

Home sweet home! Back in Delhi, really looking forward to the IMS workshop for call getters tomorrow in Connaught Place, which for me is the liveliest place in Delhi. Also hoping like crazy that there are some extremely hot looking females at the workshop, probability of which is less since hot looking females don't really go after IIM's and the likes of it because I guess beauty and brains don't seem to go together and when they do, I'll fall in love with whoever she is.

I came to delhi by train today. Ticketless. For the second time I guess, since joining Thapar. As I was leaving college, Sorab, a friend from first yr commented that since we are travelling ticketless today, we are sure to run into the TT. And sure enough, just as I had settled comfortably into an empty seat, Sunny, my co-traveller came running to inform me that Murphy's law had once again proven itself true- when something can go wrong, it will. There were two TT's standing right next to the seat next to ours. In my 2-1/2 years of travelling in a train I swear I have never ever met a TT and each time I bought a ticket. Just when this one time when I thought of being slightly adventurous, a man named Murphy spoils the party.

So finally, we ended up running towards the opposite end of the train, luggage in hands, away from the villains of the story, hoping fervently that the train doesn't start moving. But in the end we did find the seats, avoided the TT, did our nation a great disservice by saving ourselves 75 bucks each, so a little bit of running is a small price to pay.

Next post on my trip to my favourite place- Connaught Place

Lol!
You havent travelled ticketless in 3 1/2 years at Thapar... Unbelievable.
Its a lot of fun inspite of the national loss, but it is fun! Travelling without ticket, invariably running into the TT and then trying to negotiate for less. My lowest has been 30 bucks for a general seat and 100 for AC. Now thats economical! ;)

Ok ! Now I know who gulped my precious precious 200 bucks !!!

But a zillion thanks for that - For once I don't mind.

In btw agree upon ( Aman's blog )your take that it takes two to tango.Whatever be the system we are it's constituents.And although it's upto each individual how to act - a collective thought process is required to bring about any such change.Otherwise it's only a lonely struggle.

And ahm..regarding "Bin Ticket ke Yatri!" - Been there,Done that :)

Too many times to confess.Kee kariye ;)

Waiting to hear more nuggets,and meanwhile how did the FMS go ?

regards,
