An small adventure while travelling to office.

Well well i am back after a very very long break... the last post was about India's world cup.

Well times have changed and i have settled with my office- home routine , daily life has become monotonous with home-office-home syndrome.

My office is nearly 50kms from my home , so travelling takes a lot of time daily , it is like an adventure almost daily.

In India, especially my hometown the transport system is better than other parts of India , since it been a metro city, so a direct train is a boon for travelling to and fro daily i.e on weekdays.

Now in case u miss the train then either u have to wait for next direct train which comes only after 1 hr or take 2 journeys one by train and other by bus to reach the destination.

One day i had missed the direct train , so as usual instead of waiting for one hour, boarded the train reached the intermediate place , then boarded the bus , so while travelling on the bus , there was a heavy traffic jam, with no movement seen of vehicles , i along with of of my two collegues got down.

Now the scene is u r in the middle of the highway with heavy traffic jam still need to travel an other 22-25 kms , not knowing whether to go forward or go backward and wait for next train?.

We met a passerby who told us that the next station was not all that far, so we went ahead hoping that the next station is not all that far, we walked for nearly 10 - 15mins, then almost we were on the gate of the railway station , u see a train coming towards the coming station , the train went and almost was about to reach the station. On seeing this we ran behind the train on the middle of the tracks for about 200 metres(now this is an adventure right !!) , and finally when it was about to leave , caught the train at the last moment.:).

Finally reached the destination station . So this time it was train - bus- train journey. :)

Somewhere nere Ogallala, about six hours into that majestic, maddening prairie, I realize that half an hour has passed since I've seen a vehicle in either direction.
Oh, I think, as I finally see a pair of headlights draw nigh in the eastbound lane, so this must be where the West begins.
