One more month has gone past.. Month of April which was quite happening as along with natural factors of specialness such as first month of Financial Year, New years of some states, it also had IPL buzz, beginning of world T20 and for me visit to my home town Kanpur.
April months starts with tax planning for new financial year. Though, i am not eligible yet, thanks to my employer. But still needs to do fill tax planner for the year, before i could left for my hometown. It was a visit without any occasion, but Just for a break from unhealthy lifestyle and relax in the company of my loved once. It's really out of the world experience playing with my little niece and nephews. it just takes the all sorts of tensions away and one just forgets about all the worldly worries.

Since i was traveling alone in train and it was going to be approx 36 hours Journey, i took an biography on My favorite leader Subhash Chandra Bose. The book named Patriot, written by captain Manwati Arya from INA of Netaji.It was really difficult to pass this long journey in train. I read the book for some time and listen to music on cellphone for sometime and slept most of the time.Since it was Rajdhani express, they kept everyone busy eating every 4 hours except at nights.. that was also a sort of time pass. Observing people, their talks and behaviour, was a bit of interesting thing as well.
Finally i reached there on 19th April via New Delhi and Ghaziabad. Meanwhile IPL was going in a full flow, with many controversies over team ownerships, advertisement contracts, bomb blast outside Chinnaswamy Stadium Bangalore and Semis shifted to Dy. Patil stadium Navi Mumbai.It shows how our Govts reacts quickly when someone talks against them. Govt, IT deptt. and BCCI could not found anything wrong in Last 3 years against Lalit Modi but as soon as he targeted a union minister everyone just woke up. Shashi tharoor has Just resigned and everyone forget about him and started targeting Modi and whole IPL. I enjoyed my one week stay at home and then started to come back on IPL finale day, with my favorite "Team Sachin"i.e. Mumbai Indians there and IPL trophy had a great chance of getting lifted by the hands of the GOD of Cricket Himself.
But how come everything go fine with me. The connecting train to Jhansi from Kanpur got delayed by 3:30 hrs.And i had no option but to take bus from Kanpur to Jhansi. Bus started at 6:30 PM, with approx 6hrs 45 mins remaining to catch the train and only 230 Kms to go, One would feel quite optimistic and comfortable but people from my part of India might not. I thought it might take 5 to 5:30 hours and by 12 Midnight, i must be there. But when after 3 hours, i reached half the distance, i realised the big difference in northern and southern part of country. Northern part specially BIMARU states are lagging behind just because the people don't think about basic infrastructures like Roads and electricity but they are more concerned about cast and religion politics. Any ways the road ahead was making me feel like, missing my train surely and i already started thinking of a plan B. Adding salt to injury, the driver stopped for 20-25 mins for having dinner on the way. At that point, i thought it's all over. I was getting score updates in between for IPL finale. There also news was not good MI lost to CSK and the IPL trophy missed the golden opportunity to be lifted the GOD himself.
I had 45 mins only and there were no signs of Jhansi in the Dark and lonely roads. Suddenly i saw one sign board saying Jhansi, i still had 30 mins, talked to driver and he told me it will take another 10 mins to be at Bus stand and from there it will take 5-10 mins only to Railway Station. And looks like My stars turned around finally and i reached at platform 10 mins before scheduled arrival of train and now train was also 15 mins late.
Again passed the journey by using same methods as while going.. Throughout this journey, again the painful difference between southern and northern states was visible. The same railway department seems to be doing well in southern parts in terms of accuracy and cleanliness of railway platforms. Anyways enjoying some beautiful outside views from train, i was back to work on 27th and 3 days later world T20 started with India starting off well by winning both their first round games and Getting to Super League.
Now hoping for Good Luck of 26th April to be continued for rest of the year.. :)
