I stood at the door of the coach and started gazing outside..A minute after, I could sense a slum stench which toppled my sight. I saw an old man carrying a heavy gunny sack  on his back with a wobbling walk on the parallel track. Black pigmented spots on his face with skin being peel is what I could see within a bit time sight. My thoughts immediately shifted to the seminar I had attended \u201cMore weight on the back of poor\u201d by Anil Thakare, my teacher in one of my IAS coaching classes. <\/p>Since my childhood, I have a habit of counting the number of coaches the train has. Holding the support of yellow colored hand railing at the train gate I started counting from the engine. I am in the seventh coach from engine and the total being seventeen. I had bliss on my face for my pocket size victory in being successful in counting coach numbers.<\/p>I called mom and updated her about my journey. She enquired about the seat, she asked whether I bought a water bottle, she questioned about my dinner and about my luggage then finally she suggested to keep my journey ticket safe, the usual of embarrassing me all the times.Every call with mom each day realizes how selfless mothers love can be. <\/p>.<\/p>.<\/p>At 5:10PM train slowed down its speed just before kachiguda station. I decided to reach my seat and relax. I leaned back and checked whether someone occupied my seat.Train ran along kachiguda platform. All the passengers waiting for the train on platform reminded me of some old telugu movie in which all the followers would be waiting to receive their hero who will be standing at the door of coach. Honking from the chime of engine made me to take a move from the present spot. <\/p>\u201cTrain number \u2026\u2026\u201d the same announcement with the same tone and the train stopped at its first halt.Passengers rushed to enter into the coaches. Every traveler has single motto to get a seat. Indian seats are always impartial they go with a transparent strategy \u201cFirst come first serve\u201d.<\/p>I came near to my seat and the mobile vibration paused my steps. It\u2019s a call from puppy. I understood that she could have called to wish me a happy journey again. I picked up call holding the support of hand railing. <\/p> <\/p>\u201c So are you missing me already?\u201d ,I started the conversation without a hello..<\/p> <\/p>\u201c Dude!!!\u201d she started I was smiling inside; I could sense her emotion from her voice.. <\/p> <\/p>\u201chmmm\u201d\u201d,I replied with a smile .<\/p> <\/p>\u201cWhere are you now ?\u201dShe diverted the feel!<\/p> <\/p>\u201cI am about to reach kachiguda\u201d,I answered. <\/p> <\/p>\u201cWhere did you keep your bag \u201c, an unexpected and unwanted question from her.<\/p> <\/p>My thoughts suddenly alarmed whether I forgot any of my bags. I raised my sight diagonally to check whether all the baggage is on the railing. All my three bags along with a backpack are placed on the railing. <\/p> <\/p>I took a sigh and replied \u201cwhat!!!!\u201d<\/p> <\/p>\u201cAbey where is your baggage?\u201d a repetition..<\/p> <\/p>I could listen kiran laughing over call and she is instructing him \u201cnavvaku (please don\u2019t laugh)\u201d\u201cIt\u2019s on baggage railing\u201d, <\/p> <\/p>I answered this time.\u201cBava,I love your earphones \u201c, Kiran shouted over the call.I doubted that I forgot my earphones..<\/p> <\/p>\u201cI will call you back \u201c, immediately I disconnected the call and rushed to my seat.I raised both of my hands and took my backpack.<\/p> <\/p> I hurriedly unzipped the bag and I have my ear phones in the bag . I cautiously checked my entire bag with a doubt.I found a new item in my bag... Many items ran over my mind as I confirmed that both of them have given a surprise gift.<\/p> It\u2019s a carton box wrapped beautifully with green colour decorative paper. A white sticker on the top left side with a message \u201cTo the dreamer, from your dot dot dot \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026(It was not written)\u201c A red ribbon is tied connecting the opposite corners of the box.<\/i> <\/p>I found a sudden brightness on my phone screen and another call from kiran. I did not wait even for a single complete vibration. I swiped oddly on my screen to accept the call. <\/p>\u201cBavaaaaaaaaaa\u201d, I screamed to show my excitement\u2026Many turned towards my side with a wearied look.. <\/p>A complete laugh of both from the other end\u2026 <\/p> <\/p>\u201cI am unwrapping it \u201c, I signed them that I am opening the presentation. <\/p> <\/p>\u201cNo da!!! Keep the same in your showcase \u201c, salty sarcastic reply from the fellow.<\/p>\u201cTake a look now \u201c,he ordered and disconnected the call. <\/p>Many passengers shifted their attention towards me voluntarily. It\u2019s their interest on the wrapped one .I am sure they are more interested towards my gift than me.I sat at my place and started to unfurl the gift-wrap.<\/p> I separated the ribbon from the cellophane paper. I hurriedly removed the sticker and kept in my shirt pocket without my knowledge. I turned the gift in all the directions to find the best way to remove the cellophane without tearing the gift paper. Beginning from the left end corner, I made a careful attempt of unwrapping wisely. <\/p> <\/p>It\u2019s a red coloured one with some garment design work on it. Black border on all the sides made it a complete one. It is a photo album with richness.<\/p>Me being in the state of increasing excitement couldn\u2019t resist opening the album. <\/p>\u201cTo the beautiful friend I ever had\u201d, Sweetest lines with golden colored font and curved calligraphy. I moved my fingers on each and every letter of the wish. <\/p>It welcomed with a black and white baby picture of mine. A baby sitting on the chair with the thumb finger in mouth and laughing big.Though I have seen the same picture many times before, I still felt it as an unseen one when it was on this album. <\/p>The next being the one taken when I was singing \u201cchitti chilakmma amma kottinda \u201c in my white and white uniform when I was in first standard.As I turned pages over the album I could find my own pictures of my childhood. It\u2019s a challenge for me to look into my own pictures when I was in between the classes sixth and tenth. A boy with a round face, a high diametered tummy and unnatural growth of many of most of the body parts. I tried to be quick at those pages. <\/p>A picture of Sai, Rakesh and me with a saluting pose during our childhood tuitions is one among of my all-time favorites. Pictures with my family, my mother tying me to the tree as a punishment, all my childhood friends, the drama one where I was in a ghost role and many more\u2026<\/p> <\/p> The album is a collection of memories.Kiran picture in the middle of album remembered my intermediate days. It was the first picture I clicked for him in the basic model phone. <\/p>Then comes the picture of my graduation days. Every memory related to my engineering education is very special for me. Our college photo, the vertical bars in front of my administrative block, a common meeting place for us, and our 32-year-old canteen and many more made me feel nostalgic. The picture with my basketball team is another good memory. The pages continued in the same order showing my friends professors, teammates. <\/p>I started turning quicker as my mind said \u201cLook into the collection first you can narrate each picture later\u201d.The twenty fifth one was the one with my club team. Twenty sixth one being taken with my favorite professor.<\/p>.<\/p>.<\/p>. <\/p>Picture number 27 came into the line. I opened my eyes widely after looking into the person\u2019s picture. I was immovable for some time. I observed a tear drop falling onto the picture. I abruptly closed after looking into the picture. Both my eyes looked around with shock unwilling to extend my calmness.Without a next thought I kept the album inside the bag. <\/p>\u201cIn your diary,Some pages are black too\u201d, line gave by my dad was running in my mind. <\/p>I stood up and sat down looking to the watch again and again. I went to the wash basin returned back without washing my face. I took my earphones and kept it back. My legs started to vibrate without my knowledge. I could sense the uncontrolled nature of mine. I bowed my head down so that others cannot find my emergence state.I closed my eyes and after sometime I fall asleep....<\/p> <\/p>My thoughts all at  a once found an observation.Platform number seven<\/i><\/b> ,coach number seven<\/i><\/b>,total coaches seven<\/i><\/b>teen and the picture is twenty seven . <\/i><\/b>I questioned myself why the number seven is coming again and again.<\/i><\/p> <\/i><\/p>\u201csurya \u2026.surya\u2026.\u201d I could hear my name.. I thought I am in a dream but I am not!!! <\/i><\/p>.<\/i><\/p>.<\/i><\/p>(To be continued in the next episode) <\/i><\/p><\/i> <\/p>"}]
