Here goes the story of a journey,probably worst for me!.Life too a journey and if i call a journey worst....uhu,life can't be worst.I was in delhi last week.I didn't have a returning ticket, so i approached a broker and to my surprise he told me''sorry bhai no confirm ticket till next month".Somehow he arranged a ticket for me which was RAC and also not on my name.I was very upset since 1st time i was travelling on an unconfirmed ticket,also,which was not issued on my name.
I was shocked when i reached the New delhi-darbhanga bihar saptakranti express.
How will I?
I was thinking to stay back.But love to home persuades me to get in. In a sleeper coach of strength 72,there were more than 172 ppl including ladies and children. Someone told me that general is too much filled to be occupied.
Still too much migrants?when will they get job in bihar?
When higher education will be no more a dream in our land? How much time will it take for 10 crores of biharis to stand on their on feet on their own land?
These types of thoughts suddenly messed up my mind. Finally i was sitting on my seat along with 5 more ppl. If i wanted,i would certainly forced them to leave but i didn't,my soul just didn't allow me. Everyone was sitted here there,even the floors and the area near bathroom were occupied.When the sleeper coach is in this position,what about general? I just trembled for a second.
Lyricist sameer has rightly said
"AGAR YAHI JINDAGI HAI,TO KYA JINDAGI HAI"(IS THIS LIFE!).
Do their love to native is anymore less than me?
I was not in position to blame them for this occupancy. When T.T.E came,they all were fined and charged almost twice than normal. Still they were happy. Under 43 degree temperature along with more than 172 people in coach.....,i almost had fever and was in gutwrenching situation. I was worried and tensed but i didn't call my parents. But thanks to MR. Dale Karnegi,whose magic formula for solving worry situtations as bestowed upon in his book transformed my journey experience.
What is worst that can happen? May be some physical unease but definitely i am not going to die. I accepted the worst and let me tell u "true peace of mind comes from accepting the worst".The very next moment i was between one of them unaware of unease and happy to return home. This happiness,joy had painful precedings. Most of them were less educated. Everyone of them whether labour,street vendor,taxi drivers were not only arranging bread and butter for them and their families but also contributing to their nation. I am not talking about those biharis who were in the same train in AC coaches,they also contributed to the nation. My surrounding had overjoyed people,not talking about their sufferings but the success. Ya,definitely success had a different meaning for them. Most of them were going home to participate in ongoing panchayat election-the basic decision making process. The only issue,they told me on which,they will vote is development.1 year ago landslide victory of nitish kumar was only because of this issue. Their hopeful eyes want work,good education. Ya, in these 6 yrs the perception about bihar and biharis have changed but still flood comes and destroys the entire living attire in one part of bihar and the drought do their work in the other part as before,still no industrial outline is seen,agriculture sector is uncertain due to above two devils. I just lost my sense in anxiety,worry and thoughts. When i got myself back, again their dedication,fight with life,contribution to the country which was apparent through their faces leave my eyes full of tears.
I was now undisturbed from temperature,easy and comfortable on my seat. They were now a great inspiration for me. I also like them founded in bihar,building in other distant part and will definitely serve my country INDIA.
