A SERIOUS QUESTION

I had to perform many night journeys by train which were mostly as tours on official purposes exclusively, while some others for traveling. During night hours usually it was dark outside except sometimes the moon was bright and guided us to a new horizon where we would have reached next morning before sunrise, where I was totally unknown to every citizen around me.

All people in the new place may not be good always but they were not all bad either! Whenever my train came nearer to any station or a township hope was illuminated for a joyful moment of life.

One night when I was making preparations to sleep, a cute lady asked me a serious question, “Do you write about the women who are in deep trouble?” I wondered why she asked this! Her sophisticated appearance didn’t reflect any troubles she might have faced in her lifetime I could not ask her the reason why she was so worried about it

Afterwards whenever I performed a night journey and find any cute co-passenger, I was worried about happiness and its definition in the real world I asked myself the same question so many times while I was driving the train at night
