The journey by night train
Resembles journey to other world.
Strangers sitting before with inscrutabe
expressions on their face,
Dim-lit compartments,f
requent halts at
Grotesque stations with hawkers selling
unfamiliar things and yelling in alien
dialect
train running whisling through darkness like enormous anaconda hissing
through turbid waters of dark sea
a cup of coffee at
uncouth stall of mofussil town of an obscure
district with stimulating taste-
Smile of tribal girl selling apples like
smile of a wild flower
changes your equations
of beauty.
The journey by train at night
is an excursion to the unexplored treasure
of wonderous life..
