Allahabad via Aligarh

This is a story you wont believe
Its about a guy who couldnt really complete his sleep.
It was a cloudless morning, he had finished using his floss,
He moved out from Kanpur for a real good cause.
His friend accompanied him to the tempo stand,
He bought the ticket from Kanpur to Allahabad and went leaping over the wrecked bridge
He was happy and was going for love and remembered the awakening beverage in the fridge.

As soon as he reached the platform the train had just arrived,
He took a seat before anyone else could have thrived.
The train was labelled "Reeva exp" Reeva to New Delhi and vice versa,
He cuddled to get a sleep like a comfortable one in Maruti Versa
He didnt bother to confirm the direction of the train
Even though he had a bad direction and regions of rain.
He went off to sleep all the co-passengers wacthing,
He blinked his eyes to see what is everyone was watching.

He blinked again and heard that the train had crossed tundla,
This means he was in the wrong train going to nowhere
Near Allahabad, but completely opposite to somewhere
He didn't wanna go so soon,he patted his forehead
Let his face fall into his palms and down to earth was his head.
Then started the saga of lectures from the experienced,learned people of India"College ke student ho kar itna sote hain,6 ghante ki need is enough",
Next stop coming up was Aligarh and the rain there was filling trough after trough.
In between the train stopped at Hathras,where he was told to change trains,
So he got out and confirmed this with the T.T. after travelling half the length of the train
The flag holder there denied all info abt any train to Allahabad,
The train had moved so he ran back to his coach faster than Asafa,

He climbed back in and waited to get down at Aligarh and return.
It was too late to even get at Allahabad ,so he dropped the idea
And waited for Gomti Exp to return to Kanpur at 8:30pm
It was like living life in an urn.

The time at Aligarh wasn't too good ,it was raining heavily,
The Gomti exp was one hour late ,actually.

He went out to get a top up done in bsnl
But surpisingly the sim was of the western circle and he was in the eastern circle
The streets were water logged, the door was like a dam channel.

He got a seat just at the platform entrance
Everyone used to come to him for information,
Regarding train timings and directions(so ironic)
He was relieved on one fact
That he was not skint in this circumstance.

He wanted to pee but the platform toilets weren't hygienic
So he waited for the train which got late even more
And the background said "asuvidha ke liye khed hain",
The train johns atleast had a water closet which is a little arsenic.

He again stepped in gomti exp, did his thing
And guess what?,he went off to sleep again.
But this time he had a less learned co-paasenger which petrified him,
But now he had to go to Kanpur and hear the station ping.

Thankfully he reached Kanpur back, safely and foolishly
He got scolded and laughed at by his better halfIt was destruction on a rainy day
With all ,in the future ,laugh at him seriously.
