Cancelled

"You have successfully cancelled your ticket ."
The railway website announced cheerfully.
Thank God for quick cancellation.
No more hurried packing , hasty , gut-wrenching good-byes, and stocking up the refrigerator with ready-to-eat meals, ( praying that they do not fungate before consumption).No more worrying about surprise class tests, and strange projects, snakes in bathrooms and sudden spikes of inexplicable fevers.
It was a new experience. Euphoria at cancellation of a journey.
I am like a dog , at home in my kennel. Loathe to venture out .
Journeys do not appeal to me much.
If at all one has to travel, one may as well carry the entire brood along .Amen.
