The irritating train journey!!

Its good, I have got some time to spend on my blog!! Last Sunday I have reached Madurai at 1 pm !! My brother was waiting there for me...! As I had very little time to spend there and got to catch my train at 4 pm, I have decided not to go his home...! So we finished all the work and had our lunch in a hotel.
My brother dropped me in the railway station around 3.15 pm. As there were no trains since the morning, there was a huge crowd waiting to board the train which I was planning to go by...!
There is no other go, I have managed some how to get into the train as the first person, but still no luck. It was already full....
The train started on time, but the worst part of the journey came within 15 minutes.. The train was stopped on a signal and its stay there prolonged to another 2 hours... It was a terrible experience I have ever had on a train...! Standing for about 3 hours, finally I have got a place to sit...! (He was the only person get down in that whole compartment at that station)...
As I knew the pain of standing for a long time on a crowded train, I have asked two other elderly persons to share the seat with me....
I have reached Trivandrum at 1 am in the midnight....!
