Journey to the unknown Destination.

Imagine a journey with a beautiful book in your hand and beautiful weather all around with a beautiful girl sitting alone and you are going to some place which you have never seen. Something similar as mentioned above has happened with me last weekend. I had to collect a courier from a place in Bombay suburbs. Early Saturday morning it was drizzling and i had my reservation in 6.05 am train to Mumbai. The Pune to Mumbai rail route passes through the well-known hill stations Lonavala and Khandala.

The train starts and I start reading the book "Like the flowing Rivers" by Paulo Coelho. The book consists of small stories, articles and incidents which writer came across in his life. The moral/the gist and Paulo Coelho's thoughts are so much similar to that of mine that was making smile all the way I was reading the book. The train stopped on the Lonavala station. I heard an announcement saying "there are heavy rains in Mumbai-Pune route and for the safety the train will halt here for at-least an hour”, I was reading the book and smiling on every page I read. The beautiful girl sitting in the next section opposite to me is watching me reading the book and smiling. After an hour train started moving and I looked at her she was smiling at me so I did the same to her. I smiled and back to my book. As the train was passing through the Sahyadri Mountains and it was green all over and small streams of white water were flowing through the mountains because of rain. The waterfalls were as good as milk flowing from heaven through the Green Mountains and clouds on other side of train.
I did my work, stayed at Uncle's place for a day as trains were cancelled that day. While returning the same weather, same beautiful place, the train was empty and there was a drunkard standing next to me near the door. This person was singing all old Bollywood songs loudly - in short was singing his heart aloud. I felt sometimes getting drunk is kind of fantasy.

I still feel that life is too short to see the world and analyze it. During this trip I learnt a lot about how God cares and how Mother Nature nurtures us with her beauty. I learnt that we all walking a journey towards the unknown destination similar to above with all beauty around and some obstacles.
