A Travelogue - Inside out

While enroute to BLR from Nagpur...Freezing on the uppermost birth of IRCTC Rajdhani express 3rd AC coach...

Before shutting my eyelids and retiring for the day, a day that that was loaded with hysterical laughter over the memory of damaged Hotel TV cabinet (coz I rested my butts on it) and all the failed efforts that went into covering it up yet ended-up breaking ceramic mugs and drink glasses which slided down along with the white tray, right in-front of my eyes... like an ice-berge. Along with others, I stood holding the cabinate, controlling the bout of laughter for not being able to stop anything from dropping on the floor and making a smash! And the room was full of myraid expressions, each deciphering what is it that they were witnessing - an intent or accident?

(Clink, clink and shatter) ...one after the other ceramic mugs dropped on the floor and shards
were lying all around the TV cabinet (our hands were bearing the load of TV cabinet that came off from the anchors, drilled in the wall).

There was something so relieving in this madness, possibly the "letting go".
Letting go off the urge to fix and knowing that I was surrounded by like-minded friends who are all laughing along which also gives me an insight and a momentary self reflection time that sometimes it's not all about the self and could be more about the other...eg. quality of TV cabinet in this case

The day started with a rushed-hushed breakfast, and then seeing off my friends at Nagpur railway stations or rather they saw me off....and that last posing for group pic at the railway station near the busy car parking area untill we realised we will be soon caught by the local police and we dispersed as if we were never there :)

I was meandering at the platform waiting for my train which was running late by two hours.
And as a pass time activity, I captured a few pics... the old architecture of the railway station had a very earthy feeling to it...my heart felt at home and I just wanted to capture it all...the bustling platforms with travelers walk-in and out, hawkers setting up there stalls as the day kicks-in, the view of giant hanging bridge next to the station walkover bridge and was a spectacular view to capture with the contrast of an ancient (slow paced) vs new built-up (fast paced) ..

I snacked on few fruits and then settled back recalling repeatedly about the amazing time we all had at Pench international and also all that predecessor events that had me almost calling off this trip...and I am now glad that I decided against it and joined hands with the flow of time...

Jumping back to now (while inside the train), I completed reading - All the love that you deserve (author Preeti Shenoy) and strangely that book was all I needed at the moment in my life. It made me wonder how God or the supreme energy has a plan for me to be entertained,

helped and loved and it's only at me to be more willing and open about it ....and above all be trusting if it.
