the youngman soon became a successful trader!
after a few months
he visited delhi
for some official work.
in the evening
after getting free
he took a taxi
to the newdelhi railway station.
--
on reaching the station
he jumped out of the car
without paying!
"just wait here and take care of my luggage, we need to go further!" he said to the taxi driver
and then quickly rushed inside the station
leaving his suitcase
and the bewildered driver
behind!
--
inside
he went straigt to the ticket counter
bought the "multi-purpose any-train-on-the-route ticket"
came out
sat in the taxi again
and politely ordered
"pl take me to the underbridge 3 kilometers ahead!"
the taxi driver gave a strange look to the youngman
started the taxi
and reluctantly did what he was told!
--
the driver stopped the taxi
under the bridge 3km ahead of the station!
the youngman was happy
the driver was confused!
--
the guy paid the fare
thanked the driver
picked his suitcase
went under the bridge
and stood beside
a dozen railway tracks
under the railway signal pillars!
--
the taxi driver
was still there!
he wanted to doublecheck
what the suspicious youngman was upto!
and then
what he saw
made his eyes pop out of the sockets
in sheer disbelief!
--
a train came
stopped in front of the youngman.
the youngman looked for his coach
climbed in
took his seat
looked out of the window
and waved at the taxi driver!!!
--
the train again started after a few minutes
and picked up pace!
the lad took out his cellphone
and called home
"mom! i've got the train! on time!!"
"don't catch the wrong one this time, son!" mom replied jokingly!
"this time it is the right one!!"
"has it left the station?" she asked again
"it must have left sometime ago, mom!"
"what do you mean?" the shocked mom asked
"i caught it in-between!"
"good lord! what do you mean by 'in-between'?"
"mom, i always noticed that all trains stop at the subzi-mandi rail lights after moving out of new-delhi railway station. every train has to make way for the next train approaching the platform irrespective of whether the line ahead is clear or not! many times, it isn't. almost all trains move out the station but pause at these lights under the subzimandi bridge till they turn green! i came till here on taxi and didn't have to wait much!"
"didn't you feel awkward?"
"no, mom! not at all! i do this every day in my stock trading!"
"how!?"
"everytime a stock moves out of a range platform i always notice that it pauses and retreats a bit after moving out to some distance. it makes a higher low or lower high and then zooms ahead! i always enter the trade at that time, mom! this way, i am always in the right trade at the right time!"
