Recently I have learned a great lesson of life. 3 days ago I had to come to Kolkata(My hometown) from New Delhi(Capital of India).I had a 2nd class sleeper ticket. The journey takes almost 17 hours. I bought a ticket of Duronto Express( It is a non-stop train).

But when I got inside the station I saw that I didn’t have my name on the reservation list. But my ticket was confirmed and my seat no. was mentioned in the ticket. My two friends had their names on the list. I became panicky and a little bit anxious. Because I had to come back that day otherwise I would lost my job. I uttered to myself “Why me? Why life always tests me like this? “

I went inside the train. it left Delhi station in time. When the ticket checker came, I told him the incident. He checked his list and gave me a shocking reply. He said ” Your ticket has been upgraded. You should now go to seat no. 71 of the AC compartment.” I was like ” What!! You must be kidding me.”.

I went to the AC 1st class compartment. They provided all the facilities of the AC 1st class sleeper. I had to pay nothing. 

I thought that I was very lucky. In some 30 minutes my perception about life completely changed. Life taught me that we should never loose hope. This incident made me somewhat tougher than I was before.
