Today I'm recalling my college days. I remember the day when my holidays were over and I had to go to the college again. Those were the days when there was no college in my town. The city where the college was was fifty kms from our town.
I arrived the station to catch the train, but it was too late. The train has left the station and was moving slowly.
I ran, caught hold of the handle of a compartment and boarded it.
But after I boarded the compartment, I came to learn the compartment was booked for the armymen.
They asked me to leave the compartment, but I requested them to let me sit there until the train reaches the next stopage. They agreed
One of them began talking to me. They asked me to show my books and notebooks.
When the the train arrived the next station, the shook hands with me. I left the compartment and boarded another one..
They were very tall and stout, but very soft spoken and friendly.

Thank you. Almost all the armymen are like that. Perhaps they are expected to be very rude.They kept talking to me till the train arrived the next station.
