Something called Fate

I took the Shivganga express for New Delhi-Varanasi-New Delhi trip. As usual I had booked by second class.
Rekha Chauhan, who heads Mahila Swarojgar Samiti, was very concerned about the trip.
"Didi, what will you eat on the train? Should I make you chappatis?"
I told her to relax. I will find something to eat on the train. It was hardly that important. But she worried and worried and then found out that a friend of hers, an ex-MP, was traveling to Delhi by that very train. So she called him up and asked him to organize the meal for me.
"Just two chappatis. Didi does not eat anything else," she told him.
The ex-MP, Dr. Bizay Shastri who is from Kaithi and is with BJP, happened to have high regard for Rekha. The upshot was that I found myself moving from S8 compartment to AC two tier. Apparently, a member of the National executive council, BJP, had booked an entire coupe for himself and his wife. And they gave me one berth. So I ended up listening to the BJP spiel.
In the S8 compartment, I was sharing the seat with a Muslim family. The lady was loaded with jewels. The police came around to check and warn the passengers. Very duly they warned her.
In the S3 compartment, a dacoit was being taken to Delhi under police escort. There were plenty of police and the dacoit was indulging in his favorite past time-gambling.
The BJP party members made comments on it conveniently forgetting that they too had given tickets to many criminals. Ah well.
Just before Kanpur the dacoits stuck. The S8 compartment was the target.
Draw your own conclusions.
The Shivganga express was delayed by 6 hours as it halted in Kanpur for recording the passenger's statements.
All I can do is to thank my guardian angels and Dr. Bizay Shastri.
