The sun was shining hot. I was sweating like a hell. but whom to complain. I had go further. I started climbing the Ghat. It takes me more than two hours to reach the Lonavala. Khopoli to Lonavala distance is 8 kilometers. I first visited to S.T. stand washed my face and went to lonavala railway station. I was so tired that my stomach was paining for not eating for many hours. I was helpless.
I made up my mind and decided to go to Station Master. I told him a story that I am victim of pick pocketing I need to travel to Pune. I was worried about how to reach without having the proper ticket. He just looked at me and told me to catch the Madras express and get down at Pune. I just requested him to inform the Guard about this so If Ticket Collector showed up he will not catch me for without ticket. He was very co-operative. I don't have to wait for long Madras express was on time. I had to wait for only half hour. I boarded in ladies compartment which is attached to the Guards compartment.
The mail depart from platform by 4:30 pm I was standing in the door for long time. thinking about my next plan of action. what to do once reached to Pune. I reached to Pune by 6.00 pm. I don't want to go from main gate so I look around. I spotted many people are going from different exit than regular main gate. I just followed them and I was on streets of Pune. I just decided to end my journey and I went to my Uncles house. and as usual same story was repeated. This time I had to leave in Pune for few days. Our relatives want to try something else for my mysterious journey from Mumbai to Pune. but I will post those details some other time.
