The ill-fated night of my life

During our School days we were often given a very common topic to write an essay on i.e. "The most im-merobale incidence of your life". Had this incidence occured earlier in my life I would have very strong contents to write on. It was 21st April and I was going to Ranchi from New Delhi to attend an interview for admission to a B-school. The plan was made all of a sudden so, I could not get the reservation in any of the train. At last I borarded the general compartment of Swarnjayanti exp. little knowing that I was on an ill-fated journey. As usual the general compartment was very crowded but some kind-hearted person offered me the seat and I accepted, little knowing that they had some other plan going in their mind. In the span of 8 hours we had become very Good friends. At around 11 Pm when the train was about to reach Koderma, where my so called friends of eight hrs. were bound to get down, they took out a pack of biscuit and offered me one. At first I refused but when they the started eating from the same pack and insisted me to take one, i could nor resist and took one. That one biscuit was enough to toxicate me and when I opened my eyes it was the second third day and I was in Hospital. I was surprised to see my relatives surrounding me around my bed. Every thing was beyond my comprehension and after few minutes I realised what had happened to me. They had taken my bag which contained my precious life time earnings- my certificates. I was left with only the clothes I was wearing. They had robbed me of everything.
I had a very hard time after that preparing my duplicate certificates. So any one who go through this Blog please make sure never to accept anything from your co-passenger while travelling. Please note that I have used the term co-passenger and not stranger because if someone spend eight to ten hours alongwith you then he can't be strangers so it in your interest to follow this advice of mine.
