My First Metro Journey

My First Metro Journey
By Zarif Hosain

I went for a metro ride with my parents,younger brother ,maid and grandmother from NOIDA Golf Course.When I went inside the station,I noticed that the price of the ticket was doubled then earlier.When I went inside the train ,it was full of passangers.There was repeated announcements that be careful of the pickpockets,donot eat or drink or play music or sit on the floor inside the train.I think nothing is allowed inside a train except talking.We could see our apartment building from the train.Our stop was to Connaught Place/Rajiv Chowk.There we went to the market and bought new clothes for ourselves.My mother and grandmother bought two pairs of bangles,one pair for each.We ate chips and drank pepsi and ate sweetpotato chat from chatwala.When the Chatwala saw Muncipal Committee truck,he picked his chat stand and ran away.Then we again went to the station for the return journey to home.This time they took 30 Rupees more and my father was very angry.We boarded the train to NOIDA city centre. We all had great fun.
