Where is the Destiny?

This was the time during the year 2007, I was shuttling a lot between Chennai to Bangalore, to and fro...I missed Home so almost every weekend one could find me home in Bangalore, so ticket booking was happening lot by train!!! I generally book online from irctc or ask my friends to do it for me, when it doesn’t work sometimes on my PC. I either book Bangalore express, Cauvery Express or another express called CEANI Express, I am sure most of them never heard about his express.......me neither!! I had strange feeling in this express.

Once I had this strange incident in this Ceani Express!! I traveled in this express twice and both time I had weird experience, there was something different in this express, I board and catch up sleep and when I wake up I find myself in PG in Chennai, I don’t seem to remember how did i get back to my PG from the railway station. SO I never wanted to travel, apparently once I asked my friend Daniel to book it for me, I didn’t bother to notice which express he book for me. I grabbed and started towards the entrance, He said something which I couldn’t hear, He said good luck buddy and hurried towards his cabin, I had no time so I rushed took Bangalore express and reached home, had fun time and its the time to go to Chennai again on Sunday night that was August 24th 2007. I opened my ticket in Bangalore railway station; Guess what to my surprise he had booked me for Ceani Express!! Gosh!

This was in Platform no.4 , and I didn’t want to sleep this time, very cautious and reach the platform and find another train already waiting and I figure out its Cauvery express waiting that departs at 11.15, so does Ceani Express, where the hell is the train.. started panicking and looking for the display board and this express never flashed on the display.. very strange and mind started racing, before I thought of asking somebody there, Finally flaunted that Ceani Express at Platform No.5, By gasping hurried to the Platform to the end of the train and my Compartment was S4 and I boarded into it hurriedly since it was exactly 11.15 when i noticed the time!! Apparently I boarded in the last compartment which was S4!! that freaked me a bit got down to confirm, I find myself in the centre of the train, Centre compartment, is It hallucination??? I tried to look around it was dead silent and totally empty!! I hotfooted and found my seat that was 74 and it was Side upper birth and found all were sleeping;

I wanted to strike conversation with somebody!! There were none! I gave an audacious attempt to wake up lady who was sleeping on lower birth; I tried to touch her arms in order to talk to her, my hand thrust down on to the seat!! went through her and that freaked me, I delved to look around and next moment I started running towards the door and kept on running and running for 10 min, couldn’t figure out where the door was, when I stopped I found myself in an empty compartment, totally empty no seats no crowd, the color inside was all painted in red and white floor well and very well maintained. I looked out of the window which was really strange in the shape, it was Oval not square and damn it! It’s moving like jet, I couldn’t see anything; it was like empty space no trees or no sky outside!!! After couple of minutes I could feel the train slowed down and reached a station. I found a guy up from nowhere approached my window, which opened automatically and he stretched tea cup for me and vanished quickly, I tried to figure out the station name, and got shocked to see the name as "VENODA" which was laminated in Red flashy color, in an expensive giant frame. This station, I saw most of the men in white shirt with oval shaped embedded like embroidery, it actually reads CEANI in stylish font and black trousers with Red caps covering their faces!! I sniffed and found the men near the window, he looked up and smiling at me!! I asked him which station is this. Where is the door?? He frowned for a moment and muttered something and said, just run out of this place and felled into the ground by making thud of sound!!

Train started moving, no engine sound!! Sometimes there were hushed voices, which was not clear!! It was dead silent!! Train started moving again, and I was on my feet and started running to my left!! and saw body moving towards me, which was in white shirt and white trouser with red cap as usual!! I asked him I wanted to get down!! He could read my tensed face with bit of sweat, He looked like young falcon with slender leg, luminous forehead with eye of kind and spoke in sweet voice, Lady show me your ticket!! when i handed him, he studied it carefully and sometimes looking into my eyes! He finally said oh Daniel booked it!! He said follow me and dont try to look around!! that erupted curiosity in me and starting looking around in the edge of my eyes and found huge compartment to the left side with Bed embedded with delicate silk with embroidery bedspread and curtains, with private Fridge, Table and Chairs, totally decorated and few were eating from the floating plates, I could hear some strange noises, totally different language, few of them looked like angel!! They were bowing while he was crossing their compartments, I tried to peep out of the window and saw the station which was in Green this time named "GREENVILLE".

The TC stopped and turned with smile, He asked me to sit on the chair, which was totally empty place with lots of chairs and a fridge. He walked towards the fridge and handed me cup of grape juice. I asked him tell me where am I what are these station names Venoda and Greenville!! He smiled and said I cannot tell you anything except Venoda is the place for angry men and Greenville is the place for jealous. I looked into his deep greengray transcend eyes which was so deep and firm in looks!! and observing his shape of the lips which were moving while he was talking, He said remember onething " Om is the bow, arrow is the soul... men is the arrows target" this is the last word I heard. Lots of noises woke me up and I found myself sitting on the bench in Chennai central staion!! and looked around and realized was it dream!?? and could taste the grape juice in my mouth!! which tasted really good!!

I Went to PG and could not sleep, rushed to office looking for Daniel and found out from his co-worker that he left the organisation one month back and he relocated to Kerala and no news from him!! I tried to dig up for the tickets I travelled and couldnt locate them! I dont know what to conclude this!! Its not dream though. I can see the TC when I close my eyesThis was my experience and not sure what to say!!
