Train of thoughts!

Traveling in train is not new to me and Shruthi. We have had some exciting, on the fly, short-trips!;) Contrary, this time, it was a perfectly-planned trip to the land of unknowns! So, its operation "Terra incognita"!!!!!

We stood in the platform with a hope that we get into the the right compartment. As we started indulging in our very own giggly talk, the train arrived and we started looking out for the ladies compartment. Boarding the train was not a cake-walk. It was one of the funniest moment. Somehow, amid the mad rush, I was successful in stepping the steps but couldn't get into the compartment!#:-S. Later, I realized that the luggage was caught in the crowd with its handle in my hand. I could neither get in nor could step out! At this slippery situation only one thing crossed my mind and thatz TOM and JERRY!!!;))
The compartment was jam-packed and it comprised women of all age groups! There were gang of college girls, middle aged women running behind their kids, and a group of elderly ladies representing some ashram!

Though we could see each other face, it was impossible for us to converse. It was really difficult to kill time and I was missing shruthi's one-liners!:-j And while in roaming, it would definitely not make sense to call/msg just for the sake of chit-chatting. So, we switched on the blue-tooth and started exchanging our thoughts through notepad. Isn't it a smart, cost-effective idea!*-:) We were physical separated but technologically connected!

As time passed by, the compartment was left with very few people.It was already 5:30pm and how can we break our own rule?? Yes, every time we travel in train we make sure that we sit at the entrance with our legs rested on the step. In a gush of wind, listening to your fave song, watching the sunset in god's own country while munching banana chips... aah what an amazing moment!!(*)
  
We must be really thankful to the children who were the prefect translators, and helped us to reach our final destination!

This trip was indeed special!
