Wake Up !!

The scared look on his face and torn and tired look of his clothes made some late-night mumbaikars stare and frown at Gopal. Gopal gave these people a "dont care" look and kept walking ... now in find of a destination.
After almost four hours of walking and not finding anything "different", Gopal started having some scary thoughts. These thoughts surfaced beacuse of his empty stomach fearing he would die of hunger or just faint and hit by a passing car.
In this depression, he kept walking till he tripped on a stone on the road and fell and hit his head. With this jerk he jolted and suddenly opened his eyes. Whoa!! Was this all a dream ? Oh yeah, because what he saw now was railway station. All around him people were moving in all directions and on one side was a train ready to leave . People had come to bid farewell to their loved ones, weeping and some waving in happiness in hope and wish to see them again soon.
Gopal was stunned and did not know what happened.
As his mind cooled and he realised all the walk and hunger and frustration was out of his mind.He wished to do al this in Bombay but had goen nowhere. The journey from his village had only been upto the Bombay station and nowhere else!!
