Early morning, I boarded local train and luckily got fast one, also got seat to sit which we rarely find in early morning journey and that too in Mumbai Local! I was Happy that I got seat to sit properly and was very happy that now I'll reach my destination easily and quickly! :)
But the happiness couldn't stay for long when more than reasonable time passed and the train didn't move even an inch from the station where I boarded it. Everyone was restless and clueless! People started moving out. I still waited... Waited and waited... But it didn't move nor was there any announcement for commuters. Finally, almost whole train got emptied. Soon, I too decided to leave the best place and the best train I could fetch. I didn't wanted to but I had to if I have to reach my destination.
I stepped down and I noticed that on the parallel platform there was another fast train about to come. I managed to board it. I could fetch 4th seat which I don't like much. I peeped otta window of train to see earlier train, wondering if it would have started after I left it? To my relief, it was still there motionless as before! I was worried if this train too doesn't start but it did start on time and later I realised that it was fast train that I got again. After a short while I got 2nd place and was comfortable with the journey. Few stations before my destination I got window seat too! :)
I reached my destination safely and on time.
Moral of the story:
Sometimes you might fetch the best mode available to reach your destination but not necessary that it'll be best in real terms.
You might have to take risk in life to change your mode but after deciding to change it never worry about what if I wouldn't have decide to change. Think twice before taking any decision but never regret after deciding on anything.
Sometimes it's good to change your views than to think that there is only one best possible way of doing something. You never know there might be many of them. But if we stick to one forever we'll never find other ways that might give us same results.
Reaching to destination is important than through which mode we reach.
Sometimes the luxurious journey may prove useless if it can't make you start your journey at all and might also not make you reach your destination but a bit of struggle and hardship may do it right. So what's important is that you reach your destination and not much about how you reached.
As we've heard, NO PAIN, NO GAIN!
