The official Birthday 2015

This day is a special day for me, why because this is my official birthday 03/02/1981. This morning I started office bit early to attend a con-call meeting with USA client. Also my office scheduled a trip to Vijayawada for process safety studies for 2 days from 4^th Feb 2015. Sir Manimanan is the chairman of the con-call meeting so we both met at Chrompet railway station and boarded 08:03hrs train to Beach Station. I had my laptop bag and a hand luggage for 2 days trip to Vijayawada and Sir has only his laptop bag. We had nice chatting and discussed various topics on entire journey till beach station. I just kept my luggage bag at luggage rack just right above our seats. We detrained after the train embarked at platform no 2 in beach station and we both were walking to our office at Parrys building. We almost were nearing our office gate and my mind was running today’s activities list. Suddenly the study trip was come into my mind and brain analysis the trip preparations and the result of it I felt that my whole body gets electric shock from a strong summer thunderstorm for a moment.  That effect because of my luggage bag which I forgot to pick it up from the luggage rack while detrain. These all happened me just couple of seconds and few tens of milliseconds.

No time with me to think and decide. I ran back to the Beach station and I noticed third bogie just crossed the foot over bridge as the traction motor could have been energized few seconds ago to push the train for return trip to CGL. I reached the foot over bridge and almost half length of the train crossed my viewing point. At this point of time my brain puts itself more pressure to decide the next move and prepares two action plans to get on the train at George Fort station as the next stop for the train in this train. The first idea is to get on the train just downstairs and board the running train. The second one is to chase the train by road using auto rickshaw. I quickly decided the second idea as a safety proficient; boarding running train is absolutely unsafe.

I took an auto and asked him to go George Fort station. I briefed him on the ride and he understood the situation. The auto driver puts his entire experience & tricks on the machine to get the train at next station. I had trust on him that he will get the train. Finally the way I thought he reached the George fort station and I paid the auto rental charge on the way of thrill ride. I saw the train on the end of auto thrill trip the train shows its face at the north part of the platform in George Fore station. It helps me to calculate the time required for catch-up the train which requires traveling the distance of its length to stop. He dropped me at northern side of the foot over bridge of Fort station. I ran like anything on the stairs to the platform and I managed within the short span of time to reach third bogie of the train and the train started moving by giving Woooh! Wooooh!!! of its horn sound. I boarded on the train at third bogie and I was just waiting for the train to stop at next station. The train was reaching the Park station and about to stop. I was thinking of the luggage bag whether it is available at the first bogie or some Indian thief took and ran away. Though I never lost my confidence and detrain before the train stops and I ran towards the first bogie. I saw the luggage bag on the same place where I kept at the side rack of the train and got inside the bogie, took the bag and detrain. I was searching for a beach at the station to take some rest and I found few meters away from me. I was completely exhausted with dry mouth. I managed to get comfort by taking few minutes rest at the bench in the station. I saw a train on the other track and the route board reads Beach. I took the train and reached Parrys Office at 09:27hrs to attend the can call meeting. This is the way my official birthday started this year 2015.

Please wait the story not stopped at this point. You all know that I have tour on the same day and train ticket was booked in Pinakini Express at 14:05 hrs from Chennai central station. I was bit hurry for the tour due to that I could not directly involved for getting some chocolate or sweets for the office. I went to Admin department to give money for getting something to distribute to or office. I could not find my friend Mr. Manikandan so I gave to Mr. Ramakrishna from commercial to do the favor for me. He promised it would be done on time. I was about to reach Vijayawada city I just enquire office that any chocolate or sweets distributed in our office. The answer was big NO. I called up and checked with Ramakrishna, he said he got the chocolate but not distributed. He again promised it would be done tomorrow without fail, but never happened. The root cause of this incident is the chocolates are never purchased and then how could it be distributed? Finally the Day was totally spoiled. This is the way my official birthday ended this year 2015.
