Chiku's first visit to Tatanagar

After staying in Kharagpur for around a week, it was time to visit Rashmi's parents in Tatanagar also known as Jamshedpur - after Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata.

This was Chiku's second Train journey. We started off Kharagpur by Ispat Express at 8:35 in the morning. For the first time, maa came to station to see me off (yes, to see chiku off). Though she tried hard not to express her feelings - but it was seen very clearly from her face how sad she was.

This train journey was also very important for Chiku. This journey was short ( just 2 hours) - but without AC compartment, and with lots of noises like noises of train hitting tracks, people chatting, trains crossing each other - you dont get to hear these sounds when you are in AC compartment. So this was also something new to her. And she was completely puzzled - and again tried to analyze everything.

After an hour - she slept on Rashmi's lap and was sleeping till Tatanagar station came.

So, the second train journey was also very comfortable.

Ravi (Rashmi's sister's Husband) came to recieve us on Tatanagar Railyway Station. He was very delighted to see chiku - but chiku was not amused. This time she behaved like an irritating child. I think this is due to too much noise ion the train of which she is not used to.

We reached Rashmi's home around 11:30.
