We started from our home and went to Kolkata Station and caught the train.  It was 10:00 p.m at night. After boarding the train we had our dinner. Then we went to sleep. Next day, I got up at 6:00 a.m. Then train was not moving very fast and so I was able to see everything. Then train stopped at a station named Bhubaneshwar. There my father got down to buy tea. The train had halted for 10 minutes. There were many people in the station of Bhubaneshwar. And after some time when the train started and went out of the platform it was all in vain and only plants could be seen. But when we were crossing the bridge it was very exciting. I slept in my own berth and beside my berth my mother and brother were sleeping as my brother had half ticket. We were in the AC coach. I saw a goods train. In front of my berth some ticket checkers were working. The train again stopped at a station named Khurda Road. At that time I saw an Express train.
