I love traveling by train. It's the crowds that I like to avoid :) Train journeys are much more fun than flights and since I was a little child, I loved our long train journeys. Dad tells me that I wouldn't sit still and would keep climbing the berths or walking up and down the corridors.
This picture was taken last Sunday when I was in Bombay. Being a Sunday, there was absolutely no rush in the local. Anyways, Churchgate is where the train leaves from so there could really be no rush. It wasn't even so hot :) I kept clicking pics, while those around me thought I was a crazy lady. This train seemed new as it was very clean. It was a nice short journey to Dadar.
Hi... let me just start by saying if all your pics turned out as nice as this one, you're definitely not some crazy lady! I love train journeys too! And for me, the longer the better... there is no sound like the sound of the wheels on the tracks... the most soothing sound in the world. That probably explains why i find it so relaxing to sleep on a train. In contrast, i hate flights... cramped, no view, nothing outside but white... so dull! a train at night is so beautiful on the inside... rows and rows of curtains in the dark, some pulled close, some open, the feeling of stuff rushing past you while you're not moving... the way a train constantly rocks you... I could go on and on!
ReplyDeleteI particularly love the sound when the train crosses over a bridge...!
