Summer
Summer is back…
Not yet
As promised the second edition… this one is of the journey back…
well the options are a galore.. but timing is the key… let me tell u the usual stuff…
its either the tonsure-land train or the howar-ds train…
in order to take the howarts train i will need to reach back to krishna’s kingdom…
now again to do that the options are galore… includes the just5stop metro or purana-madras road traffic via bus…
and to do that.. i will need to walk a distance of ten minutes.. wait annotehr ten to cross a 60feet road… and then again walk another twenty minutes… so in all the krishna-kingdom can be reached only after spending an hour on the purana road…
well even after nearing the kingdom i will have to walk another twenty minutes to reach teh counter on time and catch teh 1930 train or wait for the next one at 2000, or the 2120. of late 2140 has be the most frequented…
from the kingdom it takes a hour by howards, but two hours by the tonsure train at 2120…
and by 2300 i am home… and on one such night before i hit the bed softly i write this blog entry… another 4hours sleep for me.. before the route-routine starts all over again.
5hours of sleep… 6hours of travel… and 11hours of work leaves me with only 2hours of nothingness…
life is a bore… well this is sure tiring but still interesting… comming up another encrypted entry…
Die another day
In the wee hours, even before the morning glory i am woken up by a digital beep.
my day starts in the night… literally.
half an hours preparation and i am boarding a bus to train station to catch the 6am exp that chugs its way through the foggy route surpassing the rocky terrain of tyakal… thats when the sunshines to reveal the fantastic boulders…
another forty minutes and the train gets half empty at safedh-maidan… and another twenty and i get down at krishna’s-kingdom… so by now the time is kinda 7- 715ish.
another half an hours bus ride and thats after taking 10minutes to cross the road and another 15 to get a bus… so add a total of an hour.. cause even after i get off the bus it takes me another ten minutes to cross a 30feet jam packed road.
so by around 8-815 i am on a windows xp zooming in an out of black space… trying to make some space.
thats my story… bonus points for deciphering the place names.. and bumper prize for understanding the whole story…
the die another day shall be back to narrate in a cryptic language… the journey back…
