Dear Diary,

Today, I joined my new school .It was a very nice and exciting. My
class teacher was very nice to me. She introduced me to the entire class. I
sat with ATIN, the monitor of the class. He helped me in every way
possible. He gave me his notebooks, shared his lunch with me. He even
helped me with my class work. The best thing I like about the school was
the library. It was big and spacious. I am passionate reader and I found
many books of my favourite authors. The computer lab was well
equipped with the latest models of computers.

I look forward to going to school tomorrow. Now, I am missing my old

friends and my old school. Now, I am going to sleep as I have to get up
early in the morning to get ready for school.

Going to Mumbai by train to attend the marriage of a friend..... got stuck in a traffic
jam.....reached the railway station late.......boarded a wrong train.......realised after two
hours.......now you.........

An unfortunate events

One of my friends, Ashok lives in Mumbai. He invited me to his marriage. I was

delighted very happy to attend his marriage. I got up early with great excitement next
morning and booked a cab to the railway station.

Everything was going perfectly until I got stuck in a traffic jam on the way. I reached the
railway station an hour late and on the sight of the train still waiting on the platform, I hurried
and somehow managed to get into the train

I breathed a sigh of relief and got comfortable. It was only the ticket collector came, I
realised that I had been in the wrong train for two hours. The ticket collector understood my
situation and asked to leave the train at the next station. I de- boarded the train and tried to
book a ticket for the next train to Mumbai. But there was no availability of room. On coming
back from the ticket counter, I realised that my luggage was missing. Even after hours of
finding and reporting it , there was no trace of it.

I got tired and lost hope. I tried booking a cab with the little amount I was left with in my
hip pocket. The cab could not reach on time as it was heavily raining.

Disheartened, I finally walked along my way to the nearest hotel. I rang my father up and
uttered him the series of unfortunate events that happened during the day. My father came to
me by car within no time and took me back home.

Alas! I couldn’t even make it to my best friend’s wedding.
