 Every corner has a story whether its travelling or exploring or eating delicious food or meeting someone for a long time or  let's say relationship breakup. It has a story. Well this blog will be sharing stories which we might have experience during our Journey Of Life. I hope you enjoy it.

    Today I will share a story which started from a radio script and ended up being a part of blog. So here sharing this beautiful story with you "A Journey". 

   Travelling is like wherever we go, we go with a open heart. While travelling we even meet new people some rough, some sweet or some in a both way. It becomes a Mitha and Khatta experience and creates a beautiful boxfull of memories. 

  The story is about A Girl whose name is Pujashree Medhi who love to travel and explore new thing and love to enjoy the essence of the beauty which she experience through her eyes. She is a Young 23 year old beautiful girl whose dream is to travel the world. Initially, she is a solo traveler, usually she travel by flight but its her first time to experience her first train Journey. Pujashree had no idea of how it feels to journey by a train. Well, She was on a short trip to Sikkim from Guwahati to meet her Grandma after long time.

  It was 22nd March 2018, morning 10:30 am waiting with a backpack on her back and straying at the clock. She was Pujashree waiting for the train to arrive in Guwahati Station.The people are busy and in a rush in the station. Their was noise around in the surrounding and suddenly the announcement heard in the platform that "224231 Kamrup express in platform no 2 is arriving soon." Pujashree took a long breathe of relief. She stood up and was waiting for the arrival of the train as the train was already half an hour late.

The weather was hot summer morning and it was that day almost 35 degree and in Guwahati 35 degree temperature means being melting like a ice cream. The train arrived exactly at 11:00 am. After few mins the train starts the engine and everyone got settled. Through the window she was loving the wind which she felt while looking through the window. Well in the summer the fresh wind is like a refreshing cooler and enjoying the journey. She was loving the journey and for making her journey more exciting she brought her favorite book "Maanzil Ke Uss Paar" by Nilesh Misra. The book is all about taking a new journey and having no clue  about what we get after reaching the final destination. It took her 1hour to complete the book. She look into her watch and was 12:30pm, she was bored and have no clue what she could do. Looked around here and their noticed everyone was busy on her own; yelling chai chai " didi ek cup chai nahi toh coffee". Until then next station arrived, their she noticed a women with fancy dressup and very stylist; holding a camera in her hand with her backpack. The women got up in the same train and settled down in the next apartment. Pujashree got fascinated as the women looked very different plus was very fancy and glamarous. A while later, she notice the women was straying at her and smiled at her ,at first she found very weird why the women was straying at her. Pujashree thought,"what's wrong with her"?. The women came forward with a smiling face and interacted with her saying "Hi, is it your first train travelling?". Pujashree surprisingly said," Yes, it is".

The women said," Don't be surprise I just assumed and it got on point. I can understand train journey is like a long hour waiting for a pizza but still we haven't got it.Quiet a long journey. So, where are you going?"

Pujashree,"Quiet a long journey ,well I am going to my grandma house to sikkim."

Meanwhile The women clicked a beautiful snapped of her. The women said," Sometimes random actions are the best to click and express it. If every corner has a story then i guess every pictures has a story too. Isn't it?"

Pujashree," I guess You love photography".The women excitingly said," Yes, its my passion and work".

The conversation kept going ,it was like meeting a long time friend after a while. It didn't seem like they were strangers, they were like old good friends sharing their thoughts. The passage of time kept on going and their bond with each other became more strong.By the time, suddenly Pujashree realize that they are about to reach their destination. They both started to arrange and pack their bags properly and Pujashree remember that they haven't even asked name of each other.

  Pujashree," We were so busy in talking that we almost forgot to ask each other names,well i am Pujashree Medhi but call me Puja. And Yours?"

   The women smiled and said ," Pratrik Goswami".

Pujashree paused for a while and asked her again. The women just said," Its Okay, we are that part of community which the society still can't accept it as a normal social humans. Anyways It was nice meeting you".

Train stopped and they reach their station. Pujashree excitingly," Wait, 8910273259 my number please note it." Their was a spark in her eyes with a respect for the women which Pratik felt. 

Well after exchanging their number they proceed to their ways of destiny. It was not the end for them,it was a new beginning of acceptances, bond of togetherness and friendship.

 Though her trip was short but she met someone who was a passionate and a confident person with bold look. She realized in the beginning the women was different, the women had her own path of story. In a short meeting, her bond with her became unbreakable. Pujashree didn't judge the women, she accepted and respect her. 

"They are not different, they are same as us i.e humans. Being a transgender or eunuch is not a crime. They choose to be and we don't have the right to point them. We as a society much change the outlook towards them. They only need to be treated equally in society. They are more then just being portrayed as a lady with clapping both hands together and entertaining others. They are part of us and altogether it creates "we" society together."

  The conclusion  Journey for Pujashree was not just a journey for her it was experience which made her a storyteller, in the journey where she was sitting in a corner and from their a story began of friendship .

    "Be together because togetherness make us stronger, Be kind and cherish every moments of life Kyki Kaal Ho Naa Ho 😊 "

    Until Next time Phir milege chalte chalte...😤😤....
