I was a kid then aur Main actually BPL jaa raha tha Cousin bhaiya ke sath unke VYAPAM councelling ke liye . DHN se Shaktipunj Exp liye hum dono..
JBP se BPL ke liye pata nahin tha kya leni hai. Us zamane me na Internet accessible tha na hi IRCTC thi na NTES..
Humlog Katna cross karne wale the aur KATNI...
more... se pahle kisi station par Narmada Exp khadi dikhi. Co passenger ne suggest kiya ki ye train abhi Fast Passenger hai yahi Jabalpur se Narmada Exp ho jayegi isi se chale jana Bhopal.
Hum dono JBP utare aur piche se Fast Passenger aayi jisko ab Express bankar chalna tha.
GS ki ticket leke GS me ghuse to laga ki isme khade hokar BPL tak phuchna impossible hai. Bahar aa gaye. Fir ek jagah bheed dikhi.. kisi ne bataya ki TTE seat de raha hai SL me.. GS ticket hai to jao uske pas.. 50₹ per pax lagega. (Year 2000 me 50₹ bhi theek theek amount tha)
Bheed me kisi tarah ghuse.. TTE ne khud hath pakad kar khich liya.. SUB mili.. bhage sidha coach me.. mast trip tha wo bhi.. 😅
