Where there’s a will, there’s a highway.

Boo!

Station-ed in the metropolis….

Woah, what I would give to get to work from an office like this one… Envy of them Central Railways employees engulfs me… It is, of course, not all peace and tranquility and Brit raj charm – indeed, before you can say Shree Shree Shree Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj terminus, a gazillion people will have passed through this place… Which isnt too big a price to pay anyway…

Thoughts of trains….

Posted on May 10, 2006 by Shamanth| 3 Comments

While waiting for the last local back home at a half past eleven. Having a not-so-great cam does have its advantages – you get dreamy, wispy, stud images that look right out of an Edward Hopper painting.




From a local train door, earlier in the day. The places perhaps will never be written about. Suffice to say they’re approximately 42km from home.

Portraits of the driver as a young man – I.

A steed. A maze of untouched, unexplored highways stretching away, inviting you to wade through every one of them, to go on through enormity after enormity of nothingness. There may be temptations that can be resisted, but this definitely isnt one of them. A new cam meant some portions of this ride across nowhere were recorded, at least to the extent that the not-particularly-great resolution of the cam permitted. Here be those sets-of-thousand-words.
That table on which the glass is, it’s sub-lime, aint it?
We’ve come a long way, baby.
Reflections on protective gear.

Some 42km outside town, minutes before sundown, when torn between rushing to town before dark and imbibing some of the Best Sugarcane Juice in The World(TM). Said juice was drunk, darkness caused no harm to befall the driver, since city lights began a short distance after. Said driver did, however, end up with a headache due to the city traffic, whose slow-start-stop jams dont quite drive you ecstatic. Not after a no-worry highway cruise.
