I want to tell you one funny incident that happened with my friend (hostelmate).
She was going to her hometown on last Thursday. Departure time for her train was 10:00 pm. She started from hostel at 8:30 pm. We were watching movie when we got call from her at 10:15pm. She told us to check the online ticket booked by her for her journey since she got wrong ticket printed. We checked in her booked history where there was no ticket booked for Thursday i.e. for 2nd July. Last ticket booked was for 30th June on which date she booked ticket. Then we came to know that she forgot to change the date of journey and booked for the date on which day she booked the ticket. We knew that she didn't took general ticket. We called her back and told her to give some money to TTE and ask him to allow her to get adjusted in one of the berths in train. But she told us that she didn't even have money except Rs.20/-. We were so worried about her. She asked us whether she should get down from train when train was moving. We told her to stay in the train and walk towards ladies compartment where the possibility of ticket checking would be less and also to look for any person who was from her homwetown so that they can help her by giving their support. We got call from her after 15 minutes that she met her friend in some compartment and he was also travelling to the same place. But he too didn't had enough money to give to TTE. Somehow they both managed to get money from their villager and convince TTE. Both of them got adjusted in her friend's berth. \In the morning when they got down from train her brother came to station with money to give their villager.
We were so worried for forty five minutes that we keep calling her. But this morning when she came we made fun of her and called her "tingari".
I hope this incident taught her to be more careful while booking the ticket and travelling with more preparation like sufficient money, printout of booked ticket etc.
