It was my first train journey from Chennai (Madras) to Delhi in train; the journey is nearly 2200km. It?s nearly 36 hours journey. I started my journey from Chennai at 9.00p.m,

it was Tamil Nadu Express, already I booked for 2nd A/c, and my seat was confirmed as upper seats. I got into the train, it was clean and good more than I expected. The journey started at time, I was eagerly waiting to see who going to come as my travel partner till Delhi, since I?m travelling alone.

Out side it was raining, I saw through windows that the water flowing ? Station looks blurred; a girl came with a bag alone. I prayed she should get into my compartment, as I wished she got in, but I didn?t expect she would sit next to me. But as magic she came in-front of me and sat opposite to me.

That is my Manira.

Raining outside, Air conditioned compartment also damn cool, I was with a sweater, but the time I saw her, I didn?t feel cool or hot, didn?t feel anything, I just saw an angel in front me.

I couldn?t believe is this true or dream, I was watching outside and inside, don?t know what to do, she simply said ?Hi?, my lips got freezed to talk, I was just watching into her eyes. Couldn?t talk, she said Hi again.

She said ?Hi, I?m Manira? ?

I felt like, I have seen her somewhere, but I don?t know where, I felt like, I have lived with her in my last life. I didn?t know her name, who is she nor nothing, but she just looked like someone who I was waiting to see in my life.

I couldn?t talk properly as I fainted in her beauty, but I managed to introduce myself, and the journey begins?

I can?t deny that with a blink of an eye, she changed my world. She put my soul from worst to best. She made me to write rhymes inner my heart, with words of feelings.

She doesn?t know what she has done to me; she even pushed me to the sky. I felt She is really an angel sent from above for me.

It so magical those things she made, to bring back my faith that almost fade. I felt like a dream came true.

We started to talk, she is medical student, she talked a lot, she was telling about her and asking about me, but I couldn?t listen to her, I was just looking at her lips moving up and down.

It was raining in my heart; my heart was freezing in cool. Weather was changing with her blinks of eyes. She is my Manira.

She was wearing a casual dress, but I saw an angel sitting in front of me, I can?t express her beauty of eyes with the English I know.

Our talks were longing till we pass two states of India, still I was watching at her eyes, her eyes said, they need some sleep, I let her to sleep. She was sleeping in opposite birth, her eyes are closed. But I could see her eyes beating. I couldn?t sleep. Her breathing sound was whispered a romantic melody in my ears.

Suddenly she opened her eyes and looked at me, I felt a thunder, I felt her eyes whispered something to me, I closed my eyes.

But I was not sleeping, I saw her even with my closed eyes.

The two nights I travelled with her, I never felt tired of travelling, I never felt sleepy. My thoughts and talks just around her like a bee wait till flower bloom for honey.

I had a thought in my heart, Love never come with first look, but she changed that thought in me, I don?t know whether it?s just an attraction or love. But my hearts says go with her, Go on.

A silent night has gone, I died and born again, music has gone, shadows has gone, lies has gone, at last She made me to find myself in me.

Departing time has came, I didn?t know what to tell, I was trying to say something, but my lips didn?t open, thousands of love stories die in heart, I was thinking my one shouldn?t. I was scared to propose coz she may deny, I didn?t have courage for that, so I was silent till last second.

Delhi Station?

Eyes were filled with tears, I was crying like a fish in water, I was asking myself is god and girl?s hearts are same? Not sure whether it is there or not. My heart was in pain, because she was leaving me?

I was finding the words in air, what we spoke for two nights. I felt my dreams going away from me. She left but her shadows still with me. That?s my Manira.
