People who love travelling often choose train as one of their favorites. Being a regular traveller I often notice if our life is a book , a single train journey can provide loads of small characters who make more or less some impression. Be it the family who gave me immense knowledge about East Bengal food, the little guy whose chuckling still make me smile or that brother who made friends in a second. May be it is the long timespan that we get and the boredom that make us start interacting. Being a chatterbox I usually find it difficult to sit quite. Interacting with different people makes your life enriched with experiences. I still remember that North Indian family at the special train during cyclone who had become a family during those endless hours of train journey. The guy from Durganagar whom I met just only two days ago while coming back from Bengaluru found out that his elder sis and I share the same nickname. Amazing isn't it? These are people you will not probably meet ever but still while sitting idly they will come to your mind just like that. Its like the small girl whom Apu from "Pother Panchali" met during a visit to a temple. He never met her again but the warmth the character produced had left a good feeling in the readers' mind. If you ever note down the person you met till now , I am quite sure the number is more from the accounts of train journeys. Life is short people whoever you meet just keep a mental note of them in your mind space. When I will have nothing to do in my life i.e. no mugging up notes or going for interviews and I will be like really an unwanted person these characters will surely make me smile. :)
