Bacon said that travelling is a kind of education among the younger people.Hazllitt,in one of his essays ,says that a journey becomes enjoyable if in hopes to get a good meal and good rest after tiring journey and adds that travelling hopefully gives the maximum happiness.Perhaps ,he had no experience of journey that could have been more instructive.But,said about my journey,I do not want to recall this dissappointing journey further because it makes me extremly sad.
Dissappointments and being an optimist...
It was a day of disappointments and being optimist,I did not attach much importance to bad omens.First of all,the taxi I hired for the station rattled noisily and emitted more smoke than an ordinary vehicle does.But I had limited time at my disposal.So,I decided to travel by it.After a short distance,it was panting like an extremely tired giant and came to a sudden stop.It was the first disappointment.Somehow ,I reached the station in a tonga but found a long queue for the tickets.There were only a few minutes for the train to leave but there was no hope of reaching the ticket window .This was the second dissappointment .I decided to travel without ticket and pay the fine during journey.Boarding the train was itself and ordeal .Despite my healthy body,I was pushed like a shuttlecock and my luggage was mercilessly trampled upon.However,I managed to wriggle in to a corner.
As, expected,the ticket checker came......
As, expected,the ticket checker came and i willingly told him about my inability to buy the ticket.He looked ata me .The ticket checker was not going to allow me to travel but I protested and told him that if a passenger was prepared to pay the fine,he should be allowed to travel .After much discussion ,I convinced him and heaved a sign of relief.As I reached my destination,I was thanking God ,I was thinking that I would meet my uncle and aunt with a broad smile and their hospitality would make me forget the or deals of the journey.To my great disappointment ,I found that my uncle and aunt had gone to Simla for a month the house was locked.This was the graetest dissappointment ,I did not have much money to return.I do not want to recall this dissappointing journey further because it makes me extremly sad.

Being the optimist that you are, you should pat yourself on the back because you crossed that many hurdles to reach your uncle's place, even if it ended up being futile. :)
