Day 4– April 4, 2012
It was a simple and quiet morning without any confusion in the air and wetness in the surrounding. Loaded my wallet with 2 currency notes to oblige the parking attendant and also the canteen guy if my taste buds turn aggressive and demands junk items.

Reached the station and noticed train arrived before time…well good things come in small packages… Boarded the last bogie and suddenly got reminded that the bhajan camp regularly boards the second last bogie, so went in search for them and changed bogies to get seated in close proximity to the camp. Thought to myself that they could be in their 50’s as generally people change minds in such age but to my amuse saw people dressed in proper formals and in their 30’s all readying up with their singing instruments even though compact…simply proves that age is just a number with no notion attached to it…
Meanwhile noticed a women carrying a child in her arms and holding another child by her side, immediately offered my seat to the women and felt a sense of humility in me…folks around me appreciated this act of mine with their eyes gazed onto me…states that appreciation is not subject to wordy acknowledgement… Slowly bhajans started and picked up pace and passengers joined in with their palms clapping and syncing with the rhythm…people need not to be stimulated for such actions…it comes on its own. Reading of verses from SriRamcharitmanas was carried out with due respect. Really some things in life are truly priceless… Bhajans in various languages praising all religions were sung which everyone lip synced to the maximum extent…Almighty only sees your devotion no matter whatever the wordings would be…
With a nice act to start the day i got off at my destination and proceeded towards class with a faint humming of bhajans heard…

Reached the station and got intimated that train is delayed due to an express train approaching on the same platform…With a frustrated feeling calmed myself by remembering that this too shall pass… Started a discussion with a friend about the sky rocketing fees for C.A course and hoped that underdogs in teaching industry who were charging reasonable amount would bring the fees to the equilibrium level…Said to myself that after all world survives on hope…so does we… placed my bag on the stand as enough of carrying tension in minds why trouble the shoulders...
While being engaged in devising our own education budget, train arrived and we quickly got into and rested ourselves. Noticed few staff of a relocation business company coming back after an assignment and were relieved by finding empty seats to quickly take a short nap…seemed like cashing on the opportunities available… Everyone else in the bogie seemed to be dwelled in their own thoughts with their eyes closed…Good to see folks spending some time with their inner self…
Following their steps I also transcended into my inner world only to be woken up within few minutes by a screeching sound of brakes of train…
With a good start to the day and serene activities in the latter half I got off at my destination wishing the weather also to be the same…
