Phew..looks like I am back lol

Its been a long time since I wrote something on my page...well I was not just sitting idle but was working and also traveled thousands of kilometer and also crossed 5 states in this little time...how much things have changed!!! I haven't traveled long distance in a train for almost 15/16 years. It was a great feeling especially going on the route that I used to frequent (while traveling to the NE).

Things have changed since then...I remember an Andra which was so barren with just palm trees and dust and thistles...but today its changed its all green and so full of life ( and cooler too!!!). I understood from people that the government has done a lot to make the land what it is today.

One thing was very clear when i boarded the train from Chennai - South was the medical hub of the country! There were many who were traveling back to their homes some had to be lifted into the coach, others had scars of a recent surgery, some with tubes, little kids with their happy parents who were satisfied with the treatment they got. Its a cultural hub out in the train....people from all backgrounds...different languages...different cultures..and I find it quite comfortable to mingle with them.

I will post pics of this travel soon.....
