Train-o-Train where you are??
We are waiting for you to take us far.
It's been three months and I haven't been Home,
please don't test my patience because I might just explode.
"Why the hell the train's not yet at it's platform tonight ??
It's already an hour past it's scheduled departure of half past nine" !!
Rumours were mounting as time tickeled by..
"There's a bomb scare on the train" was the most prominent cry !!
A commotion envisaged the station as people seemed to become restless,
And I stood there writing this, because unsurprisingly, the officials were just as clueless.
And sure enough when the train finally came hooting down the rails..
There was something wrong in it, you could see it in their face.
There were sniffers inside with Police abound,
seemed like a dementor attack because the lights were down.
PRAYAGRAJ could have easily been replaced by the HOGWARTS express.
The platform wasn't 9 and 3 quarters was the only distress.
Fearing for life plenty abandoned the train,
while those who boarded were touted as 'brave'.
Cribbing about the delay, I scrambled inside,
the mood was tense was the first noticeable sight.
The first few hours, everyone seemed to be dreading something with baited breath,
looking up at everyone in the morning you couldn't fail to notice that very few had actually slept.
It finally halted at it's destination though a few hours late,

as people de-boarded it safe and sound, you could sense that they hardly complained!!
