Train journeys and memories….

On board the train to Bangalore ... was surprised to find it misty outside Chennai . The landscape
outside is a blurred mosaic of yellows, greens and browns - little patchwork fields of young paddy
and cholam - maize and clumps of teak and mango trees alternating with large swathes of

uncultivated land. Egrets rising gracefully from a little pond or a field filled with water and a few
cows grazing across the land. The train rushes past some little station too quickly to read the

name of the place. And as we near some settlement , a mass of houses , not quite planned in an
orderly manner but cheerfully painted in blues and pinks and yellows ... the larger junctions with
people sitting on so many benches , gazing impassively as we chug past , waiting to board a train

to god knows where . The landscape changes again to open countryside as the train steams on
ahead....
