A Monsoon journey on a train !!!
Once you get into a sedentary job in
Bangalore, not always you get a chance to travel in a train tat too when
monsoons are in full flow. And this time I traveled a few hundred kilometers
and every time I do this in monsoons, I get obsessed with the train journeys.
Unlike
in a bus, there are times that I have wondered by their discussions thinking if
they are relatives or the strangers on a first time discussion doing it with
ease. And those lonely stations with almost no one on a hundred meter long
platform but the empty chairs at every twenty meters with the lush green grass
everywhere makes it so picture perfect for a movie shoot or a brilliant
photography to capture the essence of silence and serene.
It makes me wonder, why the train routes are always constructed in between the farms, the hills or the
lake side!! (May be area specific but at least the routes I travel are so). A
monsoon journey will definitely fascinate you with the wide green fields spread
across hundreds of acres and a heavy pouring almost everywhere, you get to see
the streams running in full flow on your way. In fact you get to witness
different varieties of flora all the way in your route which makes you curious
enough to know more about them. If you can ignore few problems in your journey,
I bet you are definitely set to enjoy our beautiful countryside this monsoons.
Go guys, have one this season soon!!
