July 2008


A journey ends and another begins. That’s the journey of my life for the past 3 years or so. Today, I’m on my way to Ernakulam. Yes, it’s the train once again. Open windows allowing me to have a closer look at the countryside.

The lush green farms. The dense forest-like trees. The hazy clouds. The cool and cold breeze. The wet soil. The सौंधी odour. It’s back to be in self again.

I seem to have found the lost touch.

Tomorrow it will be trainings once again. It will be consulting, product development, biz plan - all the nasty stuff again. But right now, I stop writing.

Let me enjoy the real life!

 

Good Morning!

We are in train en-route to hometown. Just crossed Secunderabad - where “The train does not halt presently” - but still stopped because of change of engine. And we hope something similar at Jhansi. Let’s see how and what happens.

The next halt is in Nagpur at 5:20pm. And it seems to be in total control of time - at least as of now.

What a journey! Across the countryside. With all windows open - Hey! We’re in the Sleeper Class and not A.C. Gotcha! :)

 

The day is over with the training? No really! The action begins now.

There is already a curfew in Shivajinagar because of Hindu-Muslim riots. Don’t really know when these people with learn. As if they don’t have any other work.

There we - Ashish and myself - need to leave for Lucknow tonight. Couldn’t get a ticket in Ktka Express. Got in Sampark Kranti. Have to get down at Jhansi. And the best part is - the train does not stop at Jhansi!

So, there is a lot of action already waiting for me.
