    Kerala Express: Day Two (Music n Booze) 

    [Some of the photos posted below are from Day 3]

    My last trip to Kanyakumari, Rameshworam, Goa journey. And the first Indian Rail and beach visit. I’ll put the rest of the photos of that trip-October 2008- soon and some of the snaps are strikingly similar.


    It’s a new day.


    The wind that blows in to the train compartment from the door is pretty strong when the train is moving fast

    The following are my Tweets that pretty much sum up the day:

    1. Now charging the iPhone in a ‘Static Inverter For Mobile/Laptop Charging Point’ near the Latrine in the compartment. Good view frm da doors!

    NOTE: That was early in the morning and there was a queue of three folks who wanted to charge their cell phones. I had to wait for about 1 hour to get my turn. Somehow the iPhone started showing the fully charged signal within 10 mins and when it was plugged out, would show the real power (which was understandably not fully charged). After a few minutes of playing with the cables, it worked. Soon, the there came other ppl and one wanted to charge for ‘only 10 minutes, i have a business call.’ After resisting for abt 10 mins, i gave up. (More …)

    Kerala Express. Midnight Thoughts 

    My last trip to Kanyakumari, Rameshworam, Goa journey. And the first Indian Rail and beach visit. I’ll put the rest of the photos of that trip-October 2008- soon and some of the snaps are strikingly similar.


    As seen from inside a moving train. That’s my hand

    It’s 1:7 am, and as it happens with me most of the nights, I am awake. It’s not because of insomnia though. I am tapping this entry from the upper berth of the train Kerala Express that must be running somewhere in Madhya Pradesh right now. After having dinner at around 8 pm, I had slept at 9. When I woke up at 12 midnight, I thought it was already morning. I was thinking too much. (More …)

      Love traveling in trains in India. As a single girl working in Bombay I used to travel back home (MP) often and I always preferred the upper birth. Not only was it safe, I could also observe the passengers in my compartment.
      Thank you for bringing back memories. :)
      How is your cooking adventure going?

      Yes, Jaya, we are having fun! Today we traveled in a general compartment from Trivendram to Kanyakumari and it was even more fun. Ppl were all nice. Three full days and two nights of train journey and we were certainly trie. But the evening vew of the sea (the place where three sea come together) was heavenly in Kanyakumari. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go for the vew of sunrise.

      As for cooking, I have been trying some cooking and I must say it’s been a nice experience. In fact, it’s very very useful when you are hungry!

      Thanks, Nirvana.
