Trip to West Bengal

I went on a recent trip to West Bengal in May end. Going there was the fun part. When I reached there by the Bhubaneshwar Rajdhani, it was the hot, sultry and humid weather which welcomed us there.

About a week of fun, travelling through remote villages, staying in a house right next to a railway line. Ever since I was a child I used to wonder while travelling in a train and looking out of the window, what do people living by the railway track think about people sitting in the train. To this I realized, they think nothing. For them it has no real meaning. All they count or bother to think is which local or express just chugged by.

When you are travelling with family and meeting your extended family, you are forced to encounter a variety of emotions. Some make you comfy, some leave you irritated. What I was considering as a good break from my hectic schedule, at times turned to be a collection of most annoying emotional dramas.

Finally, we took a far better Sealdah Rajdhani back to Delhi. It felt like home again.
