NDLS - BBS

Missing my camera a lot….I didn’t take it because I already had too much to carry but now I feel camera was must. Anyways journey is fun. I guess I am the person who’s gonna travel the longest distance on this train, starting from New Delhi all the way till Bhubaneswar, right now waiting at Talcher around 2:30hrs away from my destination. Train is already late by 2hrs. It has been great experience so far, on my next long journey I m gonna drag few of you for sure.

Since New Delhi number of people boarded my section and got down at various stations so this is unlike Rajdhani where I get to see same set of faces trough out the trip. I reached New Delhi 1:15hrs before time (very very unlike me) and the train was late by 45mins but it wasn’t boring waiting for train. I made one more train pal, this time it is Prakash, he was just like me stayed at Delhi for couple of years and now back to his hometown, he got down at Sambalpur 1hr back. Thanks to him I got good company.

When I boarded the train I was too tired since I had slept late in the night, so I took nap for good 2 hrs in the train. I tried to read “The monk who sold his Ferrari” but it isn’t my type for sure. Didn’t have any food trough out the journey since I could see that food was too bad, so I am still alive thanks to those biscuits and some Samosas. I worked a bit on my slides after Sambalpur since I was alone in the compartment, my preparation is far from done. I need to put up good efforts in next couple of days to pull out a good performance. it’s a new phenomenon to me to see train running in Zigzag manner, it has already changed its direction 5times, and I guess once again it is changing so count is 6 so far. So far its 29hrs on board looks like another 3hrs to go. But have already become a rail-fan, because rail is fun.
