A suitcase called and marked "Elegance" is what he used to carry whenever he would travel. The upper part of the suitcase had his visiting cards with his name, designation. Then, one day, he passed away and the suitcase changed hands to be the travel companion of his son. The visiting cards were all kept intact in all the travel of his son in the suitcase.
The suitcase, visiting cards moved on with the son. On one day, then suddenly, the son was traveling on a train with the suitcase. The suitcase was waiting at the station to travel in the train from New Delhi to Kolkata where the father used to stay. The train started on time while the son was busy buying a tea at station stall. The train picked up the speed. The son had no time to think about the waiting suitcase anymore. He ran fast to board the moving train. He got up into the train but "Elegance" stayed on the platform. The father's visiting cards of the last travel were seperated too from the son. The train picked up, accelerated, while "Elegance", "Suitcase" were being seperated and getting distant from the son. The son stood on the bogey gate and was anxiously looking back onto the platform with a choking, seperated feeling. The claustrophobia created a pressure on the chest.
Suddenly an alarm rang! The son got up from the dream. It was 8.00 am and he had to rush to the airport for an official travel. He looked around and saw it. Yes, "Elegance" with the father's visiting cards was standing tall on his four legs and fully ready to go for the official travel of the son!
