A lifelong starts!

Not a typical students, they're my own.
Not a background check required for them as i did with the first three
(Thanks, they're still doing well, my proud ones! My three)

And now...my two....
I'm confident in them and so is their confidence in me.
Giving and delivering for their achievement.
Bearing together the obstacles and the damn irritation with our first journey
I sense that they're gonna be worth. Time will prove.
I am ready even to expect the unexpected with them.

Our journey until Kolkatta was pleasant despite our departure flight delay from Lengpui.. However the train journey from Howrah was the most horrible one. The day for our departure was the same day the Left Parties had organized bandh (in protest for price rise) from 6am to 5pm. Not wanting to be caught in between the bandh and our scheduled departure which is 2:50pm, Coromandel Superfast, we left for the station very early in the morning.
We reached Howrah station before 5am.
On reaching we said we're ready to wait for the next 9hrs!!

Now a heavy downpour started and around 11am the board started displaying cancellation of trains departure and delaying of trains. Passengers started mopping towards the exit but we still want to wait and we wait. Around 12:30pm our train name and no. was displayed and was delayed to three hours. what the......heck.... We're gonna wait until 6pm. and again we wait.
I looked at my boys and see sleep in their eyes.

Time tick and life goes on and our waiting was nearing to an end! and indeed the waiting ends!
We all heaved a huge sigh of relief when the train started moving towards our destination.

On reaching Chennai at around 12:30am we stop at a restaurant nearby and placed our order..
when our food arrived, we thought it was a hill and we started staring at it! In spite of our hunger salivating was a no-no-. we ask the waiter to pack half of the food thinking that we might need as a preventive. We're interest in paying without eating rather than actually eating it.
Had it been another day we'd be finishing half by now but that was the excuse.
We drink water to our fill.
We left the place and again! auto-rickshaw!!

They sweat a lot that night!
