580 days, 13,920 hours, 835,200 minutes and 50,112,000 seconds. Although I am good at calculations but still I couldn’t count the number of times he missed her. What I did count were the moments he forgot her and it turns out to be the only natural number that isn’t positive. How much did he wish to see her again that he asked God to grant a few moments with her as his 23 b’day gift? Of all the days that he has been looking for her on every social networking site, he found her on one of them on 17th July (damn all those special characters that she uses in everything she writes). Still what a sweet innocent profile she possesses. It has everything anyone would like to know about her. She has found enough time to search communities for everything she likes and hates. She has joined over a 100 communities, which can tell you more than her mother might know(She even has a community joined called “I cannot sleep without pillows “).
The status message of her profile read,” Off to Bhopal to witness the most spectacular celestial display of the century “. What more could he want .He was shown the destination, it was totally on him to find his way, and I am sure he would definitely succeed because that’s what he does best - believe in himself .
He garners his basic instincts and finally finds out that the probability of solving the problem = unity (100%). It’s just a boy going to a city to find a girl in a day –simple math. If the moon can do the impossible i.e carve out a diamond ring from someone a million times mightier just to show Earth how much it loves her ,why can’t he do something as trivial as finding someone.
The following are the assumptions he thought would be enough to find her.
1. On 22 July, 5:30 AM she would definitely be in Bhopal viewing the Eclipse.
2. So she would probably reach there on 21st July.
3. Since it read, “Off to Bhopal”, it means that she would be coming there by any of the three means v.i.z air, road or train.
4. The pin number in her profile corresponds to some city within 60 miles of Kanpur, which doesn’t have an airport or a railway station which has a direct train to Bhopal. Therefore, in all means she has to come to Kanpur.
5. There isn’t a direct flight from Kanpur to Bhopal. Therefore, she would most likely be boarding a train from Kanpur central on 20th July.
6. Of all the six trains from Kanpur to Bhopal the arrival and departure times are as follows:-
| Train | Departure(Kanpur) | Arrival(Bhopal) |
| 1 | 02:23 AM | 12:00 Noon |
| 2 | 00:13 AM | 08:15 AM |
| 3 | 09:30 PM | 06:00 AM |
| 4 | 05:43 AM | 01:50 PM |
| 5 | 01:22 PM | 10:25 PM |
| 6 | 06:03 PM | 03:05 AM |
7. She cannot take train no 1, 2 and 6 in any case. She can take train no 5 only in case if she has someone to pick her up .The most probable train that she would choose would be 3rd and 4th .
8. She definitely has at least one relative/friend in Bhopal where she would stay.
9. If she takes train no 5 then she would be there on the 20th at 10:25 PM, else if she takes train no 3 and 4 then she would be there on 21st .
10. The best way to meet her would be to intersect her at the railway station before she goes elsewhere. If he couldn’t find her there then it would be difficult to find her once she disappears into the city. Moreover, the eclipse lasting less than seven minutes she could be anywhere out of his bounds.
11. The only time she would definitely be under the sky would be during the Eclipse. So either he would find her out on the station or during those seven minutes.
Therefore, determined to see her again, he has done all his packing and he would be leaving in due time to be there when the fifth train arrives at 10:25 PM.
What do you people say? Would he see her? Or would he not? Can you imagine how glad he would be once he saw her? Or how sad he would be when he returned empty eyes?
