A trip down the memory lane!!

This afternoon, I started off to take a trip to Kolkata. Packed up my bag and was about to leave then realised that I should hand over the Tech EU offering box to someone before I leave. So, though I was getting late I called the rickshaw wala bhaiya and ask him to take me to the Bachelor's Quarter. On reaching there, saw that Lori ma'am and family were having their lunch (hem, late lunch). She invited me in but was in such a hurry had to leave even without entering their door. The kids were calling behind,"Kevi Aunty, where are you going??" But i turned off, waving bye bye to them, got back to the rickshaw and rode off for the station....it took 35 minutes to reach the station (the rickshaw bhiaya was riding so slowly but what can i do, felt like telling him to pull faster but thot poor fellow, why dont I try to picture myself in his shoes and then see). On reaching the rickshaw, i asked him how much should i pay even though i know how much should I be paying just to make sure. Gosh! was surprised to hear 50 rupiya. Though was in a hurry, still made time for bargaining and paid 40, which was also more compared to the usual fare. Went to the inquiry counter to ask," Sir, which express train to Howrah?" He answered, "it just left, the next will be only after 5pm." Then I asked "what about local?" He answered, "the last one left 5 mins ago; the next will come only after 4pm. I murmured to myself "another 2 1/2 hours... what do i do now??" .....The sky was already clouding over. And i was indecisive whether to wait for the next train which'll be so late or to return back to my hostel. Was standing there thinking which way to go, then heard another rickshaw wala shouting towards me,"didi, IIT?" I said yes, without hesitating and sat on the rick. Was already on my way back but was still thinking what should i do, go or not?? Stupid me!! And then gone..it started raining cats and dogs....so the rickshaw wala pulled to a nearby shop, a pharmacy and ask me to go take shelter there. String winds blowing bringing down the dried twigs from the trees, dirty muddy water all over the roads......looking at the road, i whispered to myself for the 2nd time, Oh! what a sight!!! Had to wait for about half an hour for the rain to slow down, however got drenched. On stepping inside the hostel, Tanu, Smriti, Sajana and Asha, all shouting at the top of their voices,: Kevi, how was your trip to Kolkata?? laughing and making fun of me..........
