""The graveyard shift or "grave shift" is a popular name for the "third shift" covering the early morning hours such as
11 p.m. to 7 a.m. or
midnight to 8 a.m. According to Evan Morris, "Most authorities agree that the 'graveyard shift' took its name from the spookiness of working the 'ghostly' hours after
midnight, perhaps in a nearly deserted factory with only a 'skeletal' crew on duty." "" -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_work
That was the shift I had finished after continuing with the morning shift making it a really 16 hours job straight away. I was on my way to home, some 25 miles away from my workplace, and , amazingly after sleeping in the local (In Mumbai you have EMU (electric multiple units) running from the main city to the suburbs), everything seemed to be still ashen around me. Suddenly when we were crossing the Thane Creek Bridge on the way, the benign climate suddenly became really bad with a gust wind and the sea looking really wild. That was the day which I was hoping to see!The wild sea which always had fascinated me, but then suddenly a gash of wind knocked my bag which I was always chary, off the train going at a little less than some 60 miles an hour. All I had to say was Aaah!! Reaching the station I was determined to go all the way down through the busy railway tracks to find my bag just lost by me, clamoring around that I was at fault. First I was hesitant to even go there, but then the thought of my chemistry lab attitude of "Everything is Empirical" was enough to help me carry on. The tracks now with hard rain coming in (sufficient enough for me to curse the Gods) were no doubt encumbrance, and that amalgamated with my so called fear, was sufficient enough to prevent me going any further. The lashing sound of the waves and the thundering and rattling sound of the EMU, every 5 minutes was embarking in my a fulmination to continue any further, when this idyll and illicit journey was suddenly came to an end when I saw too guys carrying my bag.
The way back did not seem to be as distressful because I had company, a company of two guys who were scared enough that they would be caught by the so called guards because what we were doing was against the laws.
Though what I had done would be sounding mettlesome to few who know what I have tried doing, but then the experience was perilous and could obviously be pernicious. But now I have an attitude which is very sagacious. But then a piece of advice "being stolid helps you to unearth efficacy"
