Well what comes to your mind when I say this"Oh my God,it was the most horrible day", some may say that i got a heap of homework,some say I couldn't get a second to relax from work and what not. But for me it was pretty different.
It goes this way. I applied for written examination for Scientist Post in ISRO in Januray 2011 and the exam was supposed to be on April 16th. After my GATE exam, I was enjoying longest summer vacation at my home. And I could hardly study for that as I was roaming to my friends in different cities,relatives etc. But somehow I managed to study in some last hours of few days before exam. My exam centre was given at Hyderabad, the city by now I was known to most of the places and certainly not find any difficulty in searching the location of centre. I left from my home and reached city in midnight around 12 am.Then I realized that I took wrong train and that too in general bogie, it was terrible mess of people in that kind of bogies. Never travel in summer in general Bogie Train. Then got into bus to reach my friends apartment.
In morning I reached centre well ahead of time some 2 hours before. Well there was no space to stand in the shade and I was wandering in that hot sun here and there, so were other people. I supposed some other exam was previously going on. Nevertheless time came for exam and I did well in that. Now came time to leave. It was boiling everywhere and I was eager to go home and relax. As I was not having any reservation there was no choice except General Bogie. Around 11O'clock pm,the train came.To my surprise it was so much packed with passengers that on could hardly peep through or step into. Two thoughts came to my mind, one either to stay till morning to get comfortable seat in next train or get into anyhow.
The train started leaving the platform and I decided my second thought and hurriedly ran towards train. I was trying to find suitable door of any general bogie atleast to move inside but couldn't. Then after running two bogies I saw military reserved bogie and one man with healthy physique was trying to help me to move inside.I ran faster and carried my hand towards him. The man helped me getting inside and asked to calm down.
