Padatik Express: Sealdah to New Jalpaiguri

November 20, 2011


Finally Padatik Express arrived at 10.55pm. Sleeper class has no bed linen and we didn't bring anything to lay on our beds. We climbed up our side berths and I started scrubbing the mattress with wet tissue, inviting puzzled looks. Boy the layer of dust was like 10 years thick! Whoever is the next sleeper is so lucky to have a clean berth. Everybody else started to wrap themselves up like cocoons and fell asleep rather quickly. It was pretty cold at night and I had to slip on another layer of Uniqlo heattech turtle neck. 10hrs later, I woke up to find a toddler smiling shyly at me and sounds of "chai! chai!" as chai wallahs hustled down the narrow alleyway. Good morning NJP!
