An usual train journey


London to Bath Spa

“Would you rather travel back to 100 years in the past or 100 years into the future?” I breathlessly popped out this question to the group,while settling down in our allocated and reserved seats, on the not-so-packed train.

The girls and I were setting off on a day trip to Bath Spa, as the word “spa” is attached to Bath it is obvious why we are going, for a relaxing time out of the city life to enjoy the perks of the Spa there.

Now back to the question, “would you rather…” unfortunately, despite my specific instructions of a group seating to the booking officer, we are scattered around the carriage but we managed to form some sort of a circle. As the rule always follow “the one on the left to the dealer”( I know it is the card game rule but it can be applied), this meant the first one up was Mehraj, this is the girl who is a total nutter, short-cut-bob hair style always up for anything. As she concluded why her choice of whether it will be back to the past or to the future, the next one on her left was Sheetal, this one is the loving, caring and all smiles- haha- no but seriously she has the looks (let me emphasise on only“looks”) of an innocent angelic little girl. Indeed,  she was eager to shoot away into the future. Right, the third one up was Jade- our model chica, the perfect tall, slim build with short blonde hair. She is the extremely passionate one! The drive to chase her passions will inspire you instantly. The fourth one up was, Saba, sometimes-I’m-so-confused-leave-me-alone girl. She will only pay attention to the last part of the conversations and picks up the wrong details of it, but with that being said, she is sort of the class-clown in the group-haha, a very beautiful one though!

Last but not least, I had to answer my own question; I chose 100 years in the past, as I cannot imagine peeking through the future as I just love surprises, whatever life throws, I am ever-so-ready(bulks up, closes up the masks and hold on tightly to the baseball bat)

Throughout this two and a half hours journey from London to Bath Spa, which seemed so short almost not enough for our never ending conversations, we had upset the whole coach and managed to get on their to kill list. Can you just imagine the faces of our fellow passengers? I was pretty sure they needed the spa break more than us after that journey with us.

At last, we had arrived at our destination, as soon as we set foot on the station. We each pulled out our devices and then it kicked off with the picture taking, selfies and snapchat videos. By the time, we all calmed down and finished off with all the social medias- please note we were supposedly to be on a break from the chaotic city- we took a look around the station. To our surprise the station, which was once filled with tourists like ourselves, was now empty. Time to get out.

“True friends are those, when in their companies, who take you to a whole, new parallel universe.”

This was just the train journey, if I was to write up the whole day it would turn into a trilogy novel with a mix genre!

Look out for more snippets of our adventures soon!
