A Train Journey
The merrily loaded luggage
Adults in a hurry to find their seats
children walking as the train moves,
Expecting a wave in reply like" SCHWAMM's son "
.
One eating a packet of "LAYS"
The other shouting at the not Hot tea.
An old man with RUDRAKSHA
among the chit-chat kids.
Many drooping over another in a
dreamy, sleepy state.
Many stations moving on & off
New people trying to find their seats
Many with ear plugs in
Rest watching out from in
with sweaters &mufflers on
munching snacks & breaking their fast
children shouting at the passing by trains
many waking up after a while, stretching arms
many little ones often moving from their seats.
one rushing for recess, the other follows..........
# Schwamm is a character in ''THE NIGHT AT THE HOTEL" by SIEGFRIED LENZ - a German Writer.
# Rudraksha is a seed traditionally used for prayer beads.
