Make Up illa..Naturals..
It was a normal Friday like any other day.We all packed up our bags and had dinner outside and screamed looking at the clock.And started early so that we can reach the Majestic station at the right time to catch our usual Chennai Mail.We dragged our heavy bags of unwashed clothes and finally got into an auto.Auto was heading towards mysore bank road.Full of traffic..
K: Omg! Konjam paaren..chance se illa..time ippove 10.15 PM..epdi poga mudiyum..
B:Actually indha traffic la vehicles should not stand..adhukku oru GPS tracking vecchu..vehicle fit panni..streamline senju..timer set panna…

B: “Bhaiya..CANT hogi..”
Autodriver: (*******something in kannada***) (translation as perceived by me) (ada..ittha munnadiye sollakoodathu….)
Auto heads towards CANT railway station..
All of us got down..and walked into the station..
C:Hey..indha station..neataaa irukku..aaana anga anga lesa kuppai irukku…
K:Ei ..un reportaa niruthu.. indha platformla than train varumaa..
B: Hmm..yes..at 10.55 PM..
K: Seri ok..lets go and stand near the our Sn(1<=n<=14 usually) coach..(coach number maradhuten..:) )..
So many people… were standing..
C arbitrarily looks at some random stochastic guy..who was handsome on a probability of 0.8 given condition that he is single..
This was noticed by B..B also looks in the same ..direction..
Both of this ..noticed by K..
K: Ada cha..inga vandhum start panniteengala..naaane train eppo varum nu tensionaa iruken..dogs man neenga…
No place was there for these people to sit..So they chose some place and placed their bags down and they were standing..
Oru benchla oru gal..sumaaara…infront were standing two people..oru curd rice fellow..pakkathula..oru semma rangeaa oru gal..
The one sitting named as Nandhita..she s gonna get married looks like..in Chennai..

Nandhita and SG started laughing out..like anything..
Then conversation continues..(nakshatra diamonds, platinum, Naturals parlour.,..Loreal hair color..etc,..temple jewellery)

C:Indha trainla laam namba madhichirpoma( this train used to start 1 hour later than Chennai mail)..

Finally engine came this time..two engine attached to each other..
Wife gave a nasty look to her husband..

Guy: Ada cha…enna ooru da ungaladhu..pesaaama carliye poirupen..nalla varudhu po indha train..

All of us started sleeping ..
Suddenly C gets up..at 4.00 AM looks out..
She hears..” Chennai varai sellum kaveri express..muppadhu (30) nimidam thaamadhamaaga vandhu kondirukiradhu..”
C’s face brightens and she thinks..ennadhan..naaamba payasama lateaa start pannalum.. seekiram thayir saadhathukku vandhachu ..super..
