The Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station....sound of the engine....porters shouting...'sahab kaunsa plaetform??'...their red color turbans...the strong smell of ammonia...luggage...people counting their bags over and over again..1..2..3...15..16...food bag...footwear bag...'paan' stains...dogs lying around...chaa-ain and paper soap wale bhaiyyas flying around...book stalls...nescafe's...beggars sleeping...children peeping...And..the train itself..of-course! INDIA! So much life in a Railway Station.! One can find almost everything..and anything there!
All from materialistic things...to the pain of seperation...you can't help..but marvel at the sight and plight of the Indian Railway Station! And..yeah..rarely does anyone buy a platform ticket! :D
Oh..and i don't think many people know..what that is..!
The young couple happily going for their honeymoon..
to the Old couple going back in tears after visiting their daughter!
Their hugging their grand children..and saying.."Mumma ko pareshaan mat karna.."!
The college people..going on some trip..
All excited and enthusiastic...!
The family going on a much needed holiday..
looking all tired..after so much of work..
surely..they will return all energetic and fresh!
The stern and frustrated looking Uncle..
going on some Business trip...
He won't budge from the window seat...whatever happens! :x
The relatives dropping their relatives...
Discussing the stay..
Saying..don't go...it was so much fun!
Saying..we will miss you!
Saying..why the hell do holidays get over!
The upside-down smiles!
And..in extremities..a single tear..from the left eye!
Promises to come back...
Promises to meet soon...
The Station certainly has a life of it's own!
With Promises...Sighs...Tears...and...Smiles! :)
