I was waiting for this moment from 8 months. Finally i m traveling to Mumbai to be part of Jagriti Yatra.
For me Jagriti Yatra is not only journey, it's actually window to see our country in very different way.
Throughout the journey i would be the person who is looking for inspiration and enterprise solutions to the problems our country is facing.
Till today i was the person who sits and only thinks about future plans,Yes i was simply sitting from last 6 months,i had lot of ideas but i didn't execute any.I m in need of a spark which can enlighten my ideas and transform them into great solutions for society. I always wanted to follow my passion.
Now i m traveling to achieve it.God help me to live my passion.
Since Jagriti Yatra starts from Mumbai, i am traveling to Mumbai in Lokmanay Tilak express which leaves Bengaluru railway station at 4 PM.Thanks to Manju and my cousin Manthu for helping me to pack my bags. we all three took ricksha and reached Bengaluru central Railway station little early(at 3 PM). So whole 1 hour we utilized it for the photoshoot :)
After boarding the train i started calling my family members and teachers to inform about the journey.As the train moves i was heading towards unknown places which i never got the chance to visit. After some time i stared talking with my fellow travelers. As the clock hit 9 PM my stomach started sending signal to my eyes via brain saying "you need to look for food now!". But as i never had food from railway catering so i started looking outside for the food when the train stops in between.But suddenly i saw one beautiful girl having catering food and then i thought if she can have this food and definitely i can have it also. I don't know how and why i got the inspiration from her, i bought chapati and had it immediately. Thanks to beautiful girl ;)
Next biggest worry was about sleeping, since i got the RAC ticket so i need to share the berth with my fellow RAC traveler. Luckily my fellow RAC seat holder Nikku Kumar slept on the floor and asked me to take full berth and sleep aramse. Because of him i can survive one cold night,although it's only 14-15 degree Celsius i am feeling too much cold in the moving train.
Managing my bags and clogs was very difficult part while i am sleeping (Because of fear that someone may steal my things while i m asleep!!!) . I just hide my clogs beside trolley bag and tied backpack to my leg so that if someone tries to steal it i can sense easily.( if i m not in deep sleep!)
But I used to wake up in between my sleep just to check my belongings are there or not.
Thank god i survived night.
I Woke up at 6 AM and used the train toilet to finish morning ablutions ;) I started having cup of tea...
Wow what a felling to have tea in a moving cold train...:)
I was hungry and waiting for the good breakfast, at the Dwanda junction i got Vada pav for breakfast,
No way, i can't eat this.So i started eating Elite chocolate cup cake which i bought in Bangalore railway station.
After 22 hours of journey finally i reached Mumbai Thane station around 2 PM.
As soon as i get down from the train, i met Arjun and his friends Shubham and Swapnil who came to receive me. As Arjun's Apartment is in Airoli we started traveling in Mumbai Local Train. This is the first time i am traveling in Mumbai Local train, it would be one of the memorable moment of in my life.
After reaching his Apartment we went to near by Vegetarian hotel to have our lunch after that Arjun took me out to buy some of things which i required for the next 15 days journey. As its bachelors home Arjun and his brother Started preparing dinner. We are having dinner together, The sabzi is too tasty. I m loving it.
It's time to sleep.
Good Night.
