"Kooooooooo."

I irritatingly glared my younger brother who probably shouted in excitement as we entered the state. He and his obsession for trains.

I got down from the upper berth of our compartment to the lower berth and as soon as my feets touched the ground, I hissed in pain.

Perks of traveling while having your periods.

Having periods and on top of that sleeping on the upper berth of the train which shakes like anything, is indeed a bad combination.

I sat down on my seat as I again glared my younger brother who in response to it, smiled sheepishly enough for me to know that the sound which woke me up came out from his throat.

I can't scold him or beat him up like I usually do when he irritates me because my father who spoilt him, was sitting right next to him.

I snuggled little towards my mother who wa sitting right beside me and layed my head on her left shoulder wishing our train trip to end soon.

Hey, I am Vaishnavi Narsule, a girl who is fed up of living a life where we have to always be careful of everything. Whether it be your friends, family members or a stranger, you have to be always careful of everyone and everything. My only wish for now is to live a life carelessly without thinking of anything.

My wish is simple but very difficult to fulfill.

Anyways, we all are going to Goa for a vacation to my maternal uncle's home and I am really very excited. Who wouldn't be..? Goa is like paradise which attracts lakhs and lakhs of tourists every year.

It's soo peaceful there that you will hate to come back again to Mumbai (a  city which is called, 'Dream City of India'). I have adjusted to the heavy packed lifestyle of that city but whenever I come here, I get jealous. Jealous of people living here. They don't care about how much you performed in your final exams or how much percentage you scored in the finals, they just live their life peacefully without any kind of stress.

Coming back to our trip, our original plan was to travel by car and not train but my dear brother was against it and started throwing tantrums about how he wants to go by train.

After throwing tantrums and getting a big lecture from my mom, he negotiated with her. He told her how uncomfortable she will feel and also keeping the fact in the mind about her vomiting problem.

Never in my wildest dreams I thought that my mom will agree to him in one go but she did. Wow! He surely mastered the art of buttering.

I looked at my family members which includes my mom, dad, brother and uncle (a close friend of my mom) to see if they know how much bored I am but to my utter disappointment, no one knew.

'Way long to travel in passenger train vaishnavi.'
