In life there occur many a time strange and unexpected things. They leave a permanent impact on the human being. Such a thing happened to me.

Once I was travelling in a passenger train which was passing through a tunnel. I was feeling a bit scared. When the tunnel was over, two strangers were sitting on my front seat. They were wrapped in an old black shawl such as you find in hilly areas. After some hesitation, I asked them where they were going. Perhaps they didn't want to talk to me.

Just then the train passed over an old bridge. The rumbling initiated our line of communication. I was puzzled when I found them talking in a strange language which I could not understand at all. I tried to watch them closely. Suddenly one of them started moving his hands in agitation. There was no other passenger in the compartment. The stranger raised his hands and began to shout. I was frightened. I started running in a frenzy. But then the inevitable happened. My friends srideep and saurav who were sitting in the next compartment, rushed towards me. I narrated them the entire incident. But when I turned back towards the strangers people in my compartment, but I have not been able to remove the image of the strange incident till date. Srideep and Saurav never tried to talk about that journey. Nor did I.
