i might have changed it here and there :P
READ SLOWLY

He is overwhelmed by the sweet floral smell that gently touches him on his face. The train has stopped he assumed, as he could hear the chaiwalas (tea-sellers) and the passengers entering  the coach. He could smell that strong jasmine smell ,  " she must have long hair.." he thought.
He could hear her glass bangles clinking while she settled, he suddenly heard a woman warning her from the window side "Don talk to strangers, Take care, Mama will come and pick you up". The train blew the loud horn , when he decided to talk to her, " so where are you headed to?"..... "ugh..hm.. pune"
"oh that's nice, i have an aunt who stays there"  .... "oh ! ". He tries picturing her in his mind , how could she possibly look. 
"do you want me to get your bags?" the man next to him asked her, "that would be very nice of you! " she replied. They left . He felt like a fool to have thought about her the whole journey, he can never know how she looks.  The man comes back and sits next to him, 
"can i ask you something? " he asked the man
 " yeah ask..?"  
  "how does she look?" he asked 
"its funny, because she asked me the same thing."
