Unexpected


It rained yesterday....unexpectedly...just like that...aive hi...bas gira to gira...
The sky was gloomy since morning, but hadn't expected it to pour.
For a change, I left office early and planned to catch the 7:04 Thane fast local. It wasn't raining as I walked to VT station.
Fortunately I did catch the 7:04 local, also got a window seat(lucky me!!).The train started at a brisk pace and I tried to put myself to sleep.After about half an hour, my brain suddenly instructed my eyes to open due to the pain in my foot as a result of a semi-giant stepping on it; and after exhanging the usual glares and 'sorry' and 'its ok', I realised that the train was dozing too!! It had hardly crossed 2-3 stations and it was supposed to be a fast(haha) train.

It seemed the signals had failed. Expected!!
Rains unexpected...signals failing due to rains...expected or unexpected??
Seems like our guys are never prepared for anything unexpected

But then are we?? Am I? Are you?

PN: It takes 40 mins to cover the distance from VT to Thane and I was stranded for one and a complete half hour in the train, needless to say with hundreds(exagerating, who me? not at all) of sweaty, frustrated fellow travellers.
