Blogging in a Indian train .

Been sometime since i have thought of writing when i am travelling . And finally , here i am., leaning over the window of Korba express , protecting my screen from being smashed by people walking across.

I am travelling from Palakkad to Chennai. Went home for a short vacation . The vacation however turned out to be pretty bad , as i fell sick as soon as i reached there.

I love travelling . And i hate travelling .

Seriously i am not sure which one to give preference .

I hate trains .However, A/C coaches are better . I must dedicate this post to the A/C ticket i managed to get . The normal sleeper class totally freaks me out.

Why on F'ing earth are people littering all over the place ? Its HIGH time that Indian railways do something about it .Give proper waste baskets everywhere in the train, and empty them at constant intervals . I know that people would still do crap , but it can be controlled to a good extend.

Eating inside the compartment . Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgggghhhh .. I dont know why i hate this , but i simply cant stand this . People bring all sorts of things from home and starts eating as if they are on a 5 star hotel restaurant . Pleeeease ... lets have a dining compartment . Increase ticket charges for this . Lets travel with a pleasent smell.

What should be done to get the toilets proper ? Why cant they clean it at every station ?

This is why i prefer flights . Less time , more cleanliness , and ofcourse air hostesses .

But unfortunately , i am no way closer to be rich to take a flight every time i want to travel.

Now coming out of the train sufferings , there are certain things which make train journey interesting.

You can get to see a lot of people .., rich , middle class and poor .The way they live , talk and behave .As usual , i try to get in to them and imagine myself responding to such situations . Then i wonder about how they would be living , what is that they want in life and stuff like that . I really love learning people.

As with most other things , i prefer to be alone when i travel . But these days , the thoughts of having a girl next to me is getting bigger .But she should not nag me all the time like the hot bhabhi sitting opposite to me . (No , she is not nagging me but her husband).

Music is another important ingrediant with travel . Music doubles my imagination , i can be totally lost in my thoughts . Wow !!!

There is a old man sitting next to me who is peeking in to my screen every now and then.There are only 2 reasons for this .He wants to know if i am watching porn , or he wants to go to sleep.

I shall respect the second option . Catch ya guys later .

your style is getting worse!!!grammar mistakes , spelling mistakes. I thought you might be improving since you are reading a lot these days but it seems it's going in the opposite direction. do something about it if you want to make it big!!!

Prat ,

Let me make this clear again . I am not in here to be a blog celebrity .I have been writing for 2 years and had a decent amount of visitors till recent past .Even then i have never tried to subsribe in to any groups and make myself famous .

This place is a like my little backyard , where i can do whatever i want . I am writing here for simple self pleasure that i get from writing . And i have said i never have taken strain to make this interesting or something . Whatever i feel like , i will write them . I hardly even take a second look at what i have written.

I know its difficult to understand , but writing is a all about pleasure for me , i dont want to complicate it

Having said all these , Yes , i shall try to improve next time :)

well i am sorry i was under the impression that you loved writing and so if u do something with passion and for pleasure you tend to do it RIGHT and be an expert in it. i DID NOT say that what you are doing is worthless, i AM jus comparing what you had done before and what you are doing now..there s a difference!!!if ur style of writing was like this all the while i would not have bothered to waste my time writing this but its not. i ll quote myself from the previous comment "if you want to make it big" no where in my comment did i mention you wanted to be a blog celebrity, the way u write is the way you talk as well if u improve both it will be good for u not for me!!!
