Again its now 40 mins and everyone in the coach was in sleepy mood.Suddenly a train arrived due to which everyone was shocked. The train arrived was 02005 - LTT Karmali Double Decker which came and stood parallel to us. Everyone of the trains was looking towards DD as if a Superstar or a terrorist had arrived :P Soon a train arrived on the other side of DD.
