the kast time train traveling. the last time hanging around for hours and hours, looking out of the window, eating a lot of food between buscuits, rice and samsosa. drinking chai and super sweet coffee. talking with people, reading, enjoying the moment.

trainrides are the best moments for me to live in the present. having no future and past the train ride in betwenn gives you the moment just to live here, on the train, cause past and future far too far away,

i love it. cannot say more. enjoy the beeing stuck at a place, everything is moving and you can just watch.

watch the young artist child rolling around on the floor, shaking his head and trying to get through a wheel. i do not wanna feel pitty for the young boy, not even 7 years old, who came together with his sister, who is playing the percussion.

i never wanna be felt guility for myself. by other people. but i do. beause i can emphasise.as much as you can with other people and their lifes.

just a few facts -evi facts- about train rides in india: always take a scarf with you. sometimes quite cold, sometimes need something to lie on or to cover you. if you are not in ac you do not get any coverage. get sleeper. ac is triple expensive, you have too much of an ac and the windows have blue glass. not way to take pictures. also people who are selling stuff are coming much more rare. also getting to know people much more interesting in the sleeper wagon. for tourist: always ask for tourist wagon. they also have one =please take advantage and do not think it is part of the adventure to try to get the same ticket as the inhabitants. takes ages and most of the time you end up on the waiting list.

never take any food with you but do not buy anything with oil. bring instead a lot to read and maybe some books as well for curious people who are traveling with you.

make sure, sometimes people can be anoying, exspecialy annoying on the train, cause they look, talk, sit suddenly next to you and ask for a conversation. don' t care if you are busy or nt.
sometimes the conversations are plain,nothing special, sometimes if you deal with them well they are magic. little treasure moments, like the girl with the engagement ofhis fathe, or the it guy with his fantastic ideas, or the new japanaase folding art all for fee, othere with some chai
