A JOURNEY SO MEMORABLE....
wat can i describe it ... otherwise....
wait.... wait....!!!!
whenever we speak abt journey and it being a memorable one.... generally the first impression which comes to our (ppl like me) mind is of gals... hehe
what a boycan else think of in his youth....
But let me clarify... it has nothing to do with gals in fact its abt a boy, a man, and both of them --- "male"..
but before u jump to any conclusion... lets start frm the beginning....
On my return journey frm my birthplace towards my KARMABHOOMI........ I acquainted with a man.... his name was mr. GYAN.. and he was exactly true to his name..!!!
we both didnt had confirm tickets( u can undrstand the way how indian railways functions) and were looking for some way to get ourselves adjusted with the exodus ofmigrated ppl..
he was frm MP.. and coz of some engagements was coming to delhi.. he was atheletic and well built...
i thought he would be around 27 or 28 and unmarried but he was 38 and a father to his 12 yr daughter...
this attracted my attention coz when something surprises it attracts attention... same happened with me....
so finally after much hulla balooo... we managed to get two births on adjacent compartments, while it should have been alloted to someone according to the priority in the waiting list category.. ( this too a feature of indian railways,,,...) however i was happy to get a place put my butt so that i could go for an interview- the day i reached delhi....
By this time we had become quite familiar..... and started talking abt serious issues -- like global warming, communalism, communism, politics,, international relations....and more.... and he outcast me in every arena on every topic...
i was not surprised becoz he SHADOWED me but bcoz...
we normally expect intellectuals to be not just mature while speaking but in their attire toooo.....
but now onwards i"ll nt stereotype anyone just bcoz of his attire only....
now u must be thinking y i had written--
A journey so memorable --in the beginning ...
thats becoz i enjoyed his company... i found someone to discuss our perception
of social norms, and issues which are binding us and in some cases dividing...
becoz of this man, the more than 24 hr long journey seemed less....
and also becoz he persuaded me to continue with the field of media..... and i dont knw y he thought so..... but i can say that he was very learned and yet very freindly and down to earth.....
