Time was around 4.45AM when i reached Palghat railway station that day. i was very tired and i was alone too. i had to catch the next train to Ernakulam which was at 5.05AM. i was hungry and desperately wanted to eat somethin. i was running outa money also. :|
what i told them:
i rushed to the counter to take tickets. the ticket price was Rs. 49. i had 100 bucks with me and i got the balance, a Rs.50 note and a Re.1 coin, and came to platform #2. the train was abt to depart n i was rushin to the door. Suddenly a guy who was runnin to catch the train hit me. that idiot dint even bother to apologize. i did a 360-degree-circus-act n came back to normal. i saw my ticket and the Rs.50 note slippin thru the gap under the train! OMG! WTF! i jus had Re.1 with me :O i saw one of my friend in the railway station by luck and got Rs.30, went to Trissur, to my Aunt's home.
what actually happened:
i got into the train. i stood for quite sometime. One of the guy who was standin along with me asked me where was i going? 'Ernakulam' i answered. He gave me a strange look. 'WHAT? ERNAKULAM? This train is goin to MANGALORE!!" i felt like, WHAT?!? i dint know wat to do. i felt so embarrassed. The train to Ernakulam was on platform #1. He asked to get down at Shoranur station and catch a bus to Trissur n i did that.

i dint want others to know tat i got into the wrong train. i felt embarrassed. So i made a convincing story to make others believe.
