Caught Special - 9

Special thoughts: This was at Kumarakom, in Kottayam, Kerala. Of the 650+ photographs I had clicked during that trip, here are a few caught specials. These were taken in and around Illikkalam Lake Resort and during the house-boat ride on the vast Vembanad Lake.

Bangalore Express, Seat #71

Chennai, Centrail Railway Station. 12:45 PM on a mid-September afternoon recently.

As I walked towards the platform, I was happy to see the Chennai-Bangalore super-fast train #12609 waiting for me already. I strolled slowly, stopping by some book-seller carts browsing through their shelves. I also stopped for a cool juice. And I walked past compartments one after another after another.

I was heading back to Bangalore on that Thursday noon, after having attended a relative's wedding in north Chennai that forenoon -- just a couple of hours prior to that.

I was tired, and was eager to get in to my AC chair-car for which I was holding a confirmed reservation. Even though it was not the peak summer time in September, Chennai is Chennai, and the day had already taken the toll on me. The platform was not overcrowded, but was not too empty as well. It was an average crowd, but all over the place. Most travelers were making their last minute buys before jumping on to their trains. People who just arrived were rushing off the platforms to get home, or to get on with their businesses, or to get on with whatever their purpose was in the city. I kept walking. Just a few more steps... I was really longing to be inside my air-conditioned coach.
