For those who were lucky to be born in Bhagalpur and have links with Delhi are doomed to travel by a modern miracle of Indian Railway called Vikramshila Express. When the railway ministers are talking about super fast train, they all forget that they should keep the record of this train before anything else. One of the most "prestigious" train of Indian railway travels (almost) nonstop between New Delhi and Patna and then takes about 9 to 10 hrs to travel remaining 240 KM!!!! And not to forget, this is a SUPERFAST train of Indian railways.
People who are lucky to have travelled by this train and those who are domed to travel again and again, remember how at times this train helps you to develop one of the most important human value- patience. At the middle of nowhere, between somewhere to somewhere when the train stops for 45 min, I have seen many people getting more agitated then the strongest of the world revolutionaries. However, Indian Railways seems to be totally oblivious of the going on.
The least Indian Railways should do for all the passengers travelling by this train is give a certificate of good behaviour to every single passenger on arrival at Bhagalpur station. After all, not having taken up arms against the railway authorities for such gross human rights abuse should have some reward.
Long live Vikramshila Express!!!!
