Tracks of Chaos

A rainy day in Mumbai is indeed a curse. The CSMT station is a chaos itself with puddles everywhere and people rushing. This sudden, heavy downpour made the evening hectic. A girl, in haste, running across the station to reach platform 10 where the Thiruvananthapuram Central Express is waiting for her. Her sari stuck to her, hair dripping with rain and muttering in frustration, where everything seemed to be going wrong at the worst possible moment. A boy, in calm, walking towards platform 10 to bid goodbye to his friend waiting in the Thiruvananthapuram Central Express. His bag on his shoulders, umbrella in one hand and trying to walk past the crowd, where he thought everything was good and under control. The rain pouring and the platform buzzing. Two lives were heading towards each other, though neither of them knew it yet. A messy beginning in a night of Mumbai.
