This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 38; the thirty-seventh edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for the month is "The Woman on Platform number 10"
I was strolling
at the New Delhi Railway station for over 2 hours, waiting for the Kanpur bound
Shatabdi Express. Lately I got to learn that the train was delayed by 3 hours.
Helplessly, I dawdled outside the New Delhi railway station, leering at the
bystanders. Few minutes later, I left for the reservation centre where I saw a
pool of people stranded. There was a complete mayhem as I tried to find my way
inside amidst the crowds moving helter-skelter. During this process, I collided
with several people of different sizes and shapes. This lot included many
fragile women whose perfumes mesmerized me. I neatly organized my hair before I
located a seat near the right corner of the reservation centre. I was wearing a
dapper outfit dashing enough to impress girls. I wore my Ray ban sun glasses and
sat on the seat adjacent to a 60 yr old woman. She looked at me as if I
belonged to some alien planet. I scanned and observed a young girl of around 5,
smiling and waving hands at me. I smiled back at her. I saw a cantankerous Muslim
man, sporting a mullah beard outrageously involved in a verbal skirmish with a
fellow passenger. The little girl’s attention was diverted and for once all
eyes were glued on him. He was equally attacked by his victim who screamed
abuses and curses at him. I sneered at
them and head for platform number 10. I ruffled the little girl’s hair and bid
her good bye. I was carrying my bag pack and a heavy luggage bag which made me
feel uncomfortable. I took few pauses as I climbed the stairs. I waited for 5
minutes at the connecting bridge. I was visibly distracted by an ensemble of
good looking adolescent girls who were walking towards me. I moved ahead, my
eyes spotted a newly married couple cheerfully talking to each other. As I walked, someone pushed me from behind.
The man, tall and stocky, looked behind and apologized. His face was craggy and
sported a 4 day old stubble. He was followed by his wife and 3 young
daughters each carrying a plastic bag. At a closer glance, I realized that the
woman was holding a new born baby. “Be Careful!” I screamed at her.
Slowly and
Steadily, I took baby steps as I meticulously walked down the stairs with my
heavy bags. I stifled a sigh as I reached the platform number 10. I quickly
hunted for an empty seat. I was walking
towards the rear end of the platform. I could smell the filthy odour of the
sordid Indian Railway toilets; it seemed they hadn’t been cleaned for ages. I
soon located a gorgeous damsel of around 25 year’s old standing next to the
station masters cabin. I leaned against the walls of the station masters cabin
and looked at her. She looked dazzling and stunning in her embroidered dress
that she was wearing. Indeed! She was different and there was something which
differentiated her from the other girls. I was in pursuit of the missing link
which made my heart beat for her. You
could easily find her in an ocean of people, for her attractive features were
promising enough to drag you to a fantasy ride. I was shamelessly ogling at
her. I smiled at her as she brushed her strands aside. She removed the tiny
mirror several times to ensure that she looked pretty. She had completely
forgotten the existence of a charming handsome lad in me who could be her chivalrous
knight. A beautifully knitted arched eyebrow over her almond shaped eyes
adorned her face. One could plunge deep
into the beauty of her dark eyes. I stood there eyeing at her, enjoying the attractive
features of her body. Her sharp chiselled nose hosted a tiny nose pin which
added to her elegance. Even her long silky black strands could not resist the attractive
sight of her eyes that it wanted to kiss her again and again. Her rosy lips,
perfectly placed over her angular jaw were the most riveting part of her face.
If I were a painter, I would have painted a beautiful portrait of her and
placed it on my bed room and worship her every day. She was taciturn. I could
sense that I had already fallen for her even without talking a single word with
her.
I moved closer
to her and smiled. She looked at me and smiled back at me.
“Any idea about
the Shatabdi Express,” I asked her, exhibiting a vibrant smile.
“Hey, even I am
waiting for it,” she said and continued, “It’s sad that I am standing here
since last 45 minutes.”
She offered me a
biscuit. After a brief introduction, I invited her to the station mess for some
refreshment. “You seem to be a nice
person,” she winked at me as I obediently followed her to the station mess. I
listened to her with complete alacrity and smiled at her. We ordered two
cutting chai and cheese sandwiches. I took a sip of the chai and said, “It’s such an awesome weather out there.”
At a closer
glance, my eyes were lured to look at her deep cleavage which excited me. I
couldn’t take my eyes off it. I distracted
myself by looking at the ‘Jawaharlal Nehru' photo hung inside the mess. The sight
of her luscious breasts was still haunting me inside my mind. We completed our snacks
and left for the platform. I looked at her. There was haunting silence for few
minutes as our eyes met. I was completely transported to a different world. I
moved closer to her and for a moment I failed to witness the hundred pair of
eyes that were watching us in sidelines.
I held her so tight and close to me that I could feel her breath. Her mascara cladden eyes mesmerized me; my
heart was so vulnerable that I fell for a stranger whom I met on platform
number 10. I wildly ran my fingers on her alluring skin. She voraciously kissed
me and I jabbed my lips against hers. She had kindled the romantic in me.
We kissed each
other for quite some time. The chai wallah was distracted by our doings to such
an extent that he spilled the chai over his customer’s hand. There were a group of boisterous malicious
young teenage boys who raised their hand and clicked pictures of both of
us. A tubby woman of over 40 found us
disgusting and ordered her teenage son to close his eyes. The entire environment was messed up and it
could be attributed to us. We sat on the metallic seat and I observed the
passengers of the Kolkata bound Duranto Express eying and passing comments on
us. My watchful eyes neatly inspected her eyes. I could sense fear but for a
moment I was ignorant of things happening around me. I ran my fingers violently
across her nape and inside her T shirt. Her back was so soft and alluring that
my fingers refused to obey me. An
ensemble of tourists from some European country looked at us in disbelief. No
one dared to disturb us. I kissed her once again, this time I ran my fingers
inside her T shirt and I could feel her succulent round breasts for once.
“Noo,” she
argued.
“Why?” I asked.
“There are
people around us.”
“So what?”
“It isn’t good.”
“They don’t know
the difference between good and bad,” I winked.
“Listen, we got
to stop this,” she requested.
“No!”
“We could be
behind bars for public nuisance,” she pleaded.
“No!” I said,
looking straight into her eyes.
I kissed her. It
was indeed a different feeling for me. I never thought I would get such a
treat. All thanks to the Shatabdi Express. I looked straight into her eyes and
smiled at her. She hugged me tight and it was the best day of my life. She gave
me momentary happiness as I hopelessly ambled outside the railway station.
“Then don’t
stop, keep kissing me,” she said.
The Railway
announcement got me out of my reverie.
“Yatrigan kripya
dhyan de Kanpur ke liye ravana hone wali Shatabdi Express platform number 10 pe
aa rahi hai.”
I looked around
and observed that she was still standing outside the station masters cabin. It
was a dream, I thought. I smiled back at her and moved close to her. She felt
discomfort. I blew kisses at her and whistled at her. She still moved further
from me. No one in sight was noticing my
malicious behaviour towards that gorgeous woman. She glared at me for once and
spoke to someone on phone.
After she
finished the phone call, I whistled at her once again.
I winked at her
and asked, “Hey Chalti kya?”
“Haan bilkul
chalege kyu nahi?” I heard a babble of voices from behind. I remained stunned
when I was confronted by a group of female constables. One of them slapped me
so hard that for once I couldn’t notice things happening around me. The other constable thrashed me with her
stick.
“Madam, please please
sorry madam, humhe maaf kardo please.” I pleaded guilty and asked for forgiveness.
“Madam, please humhe ghar
jaana hai...sorry madam please,” I said with teary eyes. Tears rolled down my
cheeks as she refused to look at me.
“Abh tum jail
jayenge,” the lady constables said in unison.
“I know what you
were thinking about me,” she said and continued, “you dirty cheap pervert!” She
soon left for the railway police station to file FIR against me.
******************
Bollywood
Superstar Samir Khan entered the scene. He smiled and said, “The woman on
platform number 10 was brave enough to tackle eve teasers like him.” He pointed
his fingers towards me.
“Women are asset
to our nation and we cannot take them for granted. In recent days there has
been increasing number of offences in our nation in form of rapes,
molestations, physical abuses and different types of crimes against woman. It’s
our turn to fight against such issues. I
dream of a tomorrow where women in our country can walk happily on the streets
without any fear.”
He smiled and
said, “The Government has come up with a helpline number and if you face any
issue you can contact the officials by dialling 1091. Trust me it works and it
is a 24 hrs helpline number to save the women from our country.”
“I hope someday
my dreams come true and that day would be the happiest day of my life.”
