2nd trip of India life

Starting my day a little late but never too late for today, i was
planning to go to Trivandrum, the capital of Kerala state where i am,
i then woke up almost 8.30am which is too late to take a pretty long
trip for a day. I changed my destination to another pending one,
Kottayam, where i believe it would be one of the place with which i
would fall in love. The train is heading to Trivandrum via Kottayam,
it is an express which goes as fast as a normal train to my thought
but the stops are lessen so far. Anyway, the train is crowded by
locals and i have to stand all the way to my destination as i have
picked to be in the normal class cabin. The train goes more inland
than last time i have been to Alleppy. This trip i have seen more of
greenery small hilly scene. My stops are Mulanturutti, Vaikam road,
definitely i have never heard of those before but nothing to worry ...

On the rail

Thousands time i've come to realise how much i love travelling by
train! The best is when you get into an empty cabin and spread
yourself out onto a seat, even it is a busy time, i always manage to
make the most of it.
I was flirting with the train in western countries as it is so
comfortable to get on but, at the moment, the simpliest has taken
over. The train in India is worse than one back in Thailand definitely
but the scenery has filled up the enjoyment to a traveller. The
different experience has brought something in common to me, the
peaceful, breezy moment which no other transportation could offer. I
am held by the wind feeling the kindness of the earth that brings the
fresh breeze and the greenery to my sight.
It was years back when I had taken trains like this as in the West,
trains are air-conditioned. I remember a short lovely trip just from
Bangkok to Nakornpathom, short but so refreshing as you would not see
the way of living like that when you drive your own car.
I know I put myself into risk every single time I've been out for a
trip but what to stop me is myself or if I was frightened but that's
never happened so far
... All that is freedom to the world of my own ...
