The train was standing at the station. It was 5:00 o'clock in the morning. People came running towards the train, checked their names on the reservation chart and were getting into the train. Megha searched for their bogie number, checked their names in the chart and took her seat with rest of the people of their group. She was travelling with her in-laws, her husband Aakash's relatives. Aakash's family had a house at their hometown. Megha, married for six months,had not seen that house. Everyone in his family had settled outside far away from their hometown and they were not willing to keep the house anymore. His family members were negotiating a deal to sell it, and it was almost finalised. So everyone planned a trip for a last visit to the house. This time Aakash's two uncles and their wives, three cousin brothers and one cousin sister were coming with them. His parents, grand parents and rest of the members of their family had already gone to that house.
The train started to move. Everyone got busy with their activities. Aakash and his brothers took out their books and concentrated on that. His cousin sister placed the headphone of her i-pod in her ears and started listening to music. His aunts opened their magazines. His elder uncle took out the print-out of their e-ticket and started checking it. Megha looked out of the window. She had taken a book but she was not in a mood to read it and was feeling sleepy, as she had to get up early in the morning to catch the train.
"Achha, who is Megha Bose by the way? Is any Megha Bose travelling with us?"
Aakash's elder uncle asked looking at their group.
