"TRAINS" ; Extremely noisy, air polluting, tedious modes of transportation. The above is only the way we perceive trains. That is how we see it from the outside and hence , jump to the conclusion that, train journeys are long, agonizing and not at all worth it. At least , that was my opinion about it.
After I joined college, trains HAD to be my only mode of transport. I used to commute from my place to college and back only in trains. At first I was like, " why god! It's so hot, it's so idiotic. Why didn't I select the bus? " , but then .. once i started travelling, I saw the real pleasures of life. Yes I do accept, that train journeys especially , the suburban ones can get very irritating , but these irritating journeys are the reason for me to have made amazing memories with an amazing set of friends. Friends who I knew not before, but now, friends without whom I can't even think of travelling. I Guess this is what all theses things do. Make you get up in the morning and wait for all of them to come to the platform. Sit and talk constantly from station to station. Sometimes even just lie down on another's shoulder and have an Amazing nap. But the best of all , the friendships and the memories I have made, I know that they'll last forever and I couldn't have been happier.
Thank you Trains , for making my travel the best part of college.
