For all those who like travelling..........

How many of you have ever said that "I like travelling!!"??? Well, i would like to engage you in a debate. Don't mind buddy, i m writing this blog in a very frustrated mood!

So, here goes, today i write this blog on 7th may, 2008. And, seriously speaking, i have been travelling far and wide for the last 8 days, i.e. since 30th April. Firstly, as an intro, i would like to tell you that going home from college is sometimes damn hectic! especially when you are 1500 kms away, and the train takes more than 24hrs! i.e. kgp to hyd.

This time , my parents advised me to head for my paternal hometown, i.e. muzaffarpur, some 100 km north of patna. Now, therez no direct train from kgp. So, a break journey was the only option. So, decided to go from Calcutta. But, on the last day, i changed my plans, and had to go through Jamshedpur. On 30th April, I left kgp, for a short 2 hr journey alongwith another friend of mine, for jamshedpur. Then, in the evening we caught a train locally called the tata-chhapra express. Now, for your kind information, which i didn't know, it passes through the most infamous route of thieves! i.e. this route has the largest no. of theft records in the east. And, we had 2 laptops!!! the most easily targetted item! So, we planned not to sleep. We spent the entire night staying awake on a seemingly never-ending 14 hr journey! And, slept only once we reached home.


The very next day, we had to leave for my maternal uncle's house in patna. This was another nightmare. In this process, we had to cross the country's longest bridge spanning more than 4.5 km across the river Ganga. And, this bridge had a traffic jam which made us 6 hrs late!! We had to walk half the bridge carrying all the luggage.

The next day, we returned, and had another hectic journey of 3 hrs in a rather shaky government bus. By this time, i was exhausted by the journeys.

Then, fortunately, God blessed me and i had a day off!! No journey on one single day! yO! i was so happy!!!!

But, the next day we had to leave for home.

Now, I wonder if God was angry with me, or whatever, but there was no direct train again!! :((
So, had a break-journey through Calcutta.

And, journeying through 3 trains, changing at Calcutta and Vijayawada, i reached home after 48 hrs!!!

And woah! i am almost dried up! nothing left in me!

Thats all i wanted to say!! Thanx a lot for reading this much!! :)
