At Ratlam Junction

Incase you’re wondering why does the title say “Hotel Decent Here We Come” if you’re a ‘Jab We Met’ fan you’ll already know but if you aren’t it’s from the movie ‘Jab We Met’ where Geet And Aditya stay in a hotel call HOTEL DECENT. In the previous part our filmmaker friends had boarded the wrong train, it’s funny because we already told them it’s the wrong train and they yet boarded it, will always remember that. We later were dying in the low temperatures of Indore at 17-degree Celsius waiting for our train to Ratlam. We boarded our train and immediately slept as we hadn’t slept the whole night. Within 3 hours or so we reached Ratlam. Roamed the streets with our luggage and all. Had some kachori, chai and stuff. Did some shopping of “farsan”. And yes, we didn’t find hotel decent. We then seen some different kind of trains (somewhat like toy-train) at the Ratlam station while waiting for our train to Mumbai.

We then boarded the Golden Temple Mail at around 2:30pm. While traveling back to Mumbai we just couldn’t contemplate what we had achieved and this was just the start for us all, the REDLIGHT team. By 11:30pm we were on Borivali station, ready to appear for our next exam paper. Overall, our journey was great, the one to remember and the one we’ll always tell others about. A special thanks to my parents, family members, supporters and our well-wishers.
