My Lifeline:Trains


The chaos of the trains,
the excitement of getting in
Or of  getting out that excites one  I wonder
The people all ready, some going westward, some eastward
All going some “ward.
Some getting down  from the train
Some wanting to get in
Some at the roofs ,
Some at the doors
All having a destination to go
The train accommodates them all without any complains
You are witness to some callings everyday ,everytime
Everyone is a hero here ,some local ranjikants
Who  stand at the doors and rooftops and show their stunts
And I must say they make you scary , at times a loud squeal escapes you
But must say they give even Bollywood a run for its money.
Whether it is the mornings,
the energetic faces fresh after a night’s sleep looking forward to their today
Or the evenings  where the faces show no emotion, tired and wanting to retire.
All trying to make ends meet, some ticketless, some with them
One one thing is common they all take THE TRAIN.
