It was few years ago . I was traveling with my friends from Delhi to Bhopal . It was a normal journey with nothing unusual about it . We started from Delhi station in evening and were expected to reach bhopal the next morning . 

It was 4am in the morning and we had reached Jhansi station  . With all the talking and joking around we  had little sleep .  At Jhansi a number of people from the other AC coach got down on to the platform and started shouting and calling the station master . This woke us up. It happened so that the AC of that particular coach had some problem and was not working properly. Few stations ago they had complained and were informed that at Jhansi station it will be rectified. Unfortunately by the time the train reached Jhansi the AC almost stopped working.  

Me and my friends thought it won't take much time  and train would start in few minutes. Few minutes passed ,now it had been more than half an hour but there were no signs of train departing the station . It was then i decided to enquire more about the matter . 

I was out on the platform in my pyajamas . I had kept my wallet in the luggage . I had my two mobiles with me . Recently i had purchased a new mobile and also had my old mobile with me . 

I started enquiring about the matter and found out that the railway authorities were working on the AC but it was taking time as it had some major problem.  The passengers were alreday very annoyed and started to get angry with every passing minute . 

I enquired with one of the railway men and found out it would take more than an hour . It was 5am in the mroning and we wanted to reach bhopal on time as we had some other engagements. 

At this time we saw another train approaching the other platform . It was going towards bhopal. A number of seats in this train seemed empty. We decided to shift our luggage and move by this train. I helped my friends in shifting the luggage , just when we were shifting the luggage the people on the platform started clamouring and shouting even more . I wanted to go there and see what was happening. So after shifting the luggage i again got involved in the matter . There were intense discussions going on between the passengers and the railway authorities as it had been more than an hour and the AC was not repaired yet. People started shouting and in that noise i missed the noise of the other train departing the station . My friends assumed that i had got on the train , by the time they called to enquire i was left stranded on the platform . 

So at 5am in the morning ,in Jhansi station i was in my pyjamas , with no luggage and no wallet but i had my mobiles with me . Picture abhi baki hai. 

It was at 5:45am that the issue got rectified and the train finally departed. This time around i was alone . I thought to take a little nap as i had hardly slept . 

Two hour or so into the sleep i got this urge to go to the bathroom and almost half asleep , i got down from the berth . My head swinging left and right due to  the train  movement , i somehow managed to reach the bathroom . Do you remember few years ago indian toilets on the railways had nothing but a hole? Nowadays they have bio toilets. While i was busy in my routine activity and very unaware that both my mobiles were in the pockets of my pyjamas , one of them slowly slept out and dropped through the hole. By the time i could react the other one got out and it too dropped through the hole . I was in shock. How could this happen to me ? My new mobile!!! I was literally in tears . 

It was such an embarrasing situation that i could not even inform any of the fellow passengers. The train was running at full speed and i had lost two of my mobiles through the hole of an indian toilet !!!

I tried to see through the door if there was any station nearby but to no avail the train just kept on going , moving at full speed. 

An hour later i found myself  at the Bhopal railway station with no mobile,no wallet and no luggage!!! 

The fact is didn't have any mobile with me meant i could not contact my friends and the only mobile number i remembered was of my Dad. I was outside the station on the street trying to convince people to let me make a call. It was an ATM watchman who listened to my predicament and gave his mobile.  I called my dad , got the number of my friend and they came to pick me up.  I still thank that ATM watchman . Sometimes you get help from places least expected . 

This was 8 years ago . All these years i never shared this story with anyone . Two and half years ago i shared it with a girl and now she's my wife. So it turned out i lost something that day but found out something much much more valuable.
