insomnia

i will have some guests next week in my home... they are all coming from my home town... a place 2500 km far away from bangalore...a long long journey for 48 hours by train... bangalore- guawahati express...this train runs through westbengal from assam and then takes the east coastal road through out orissa, andrapradesh,tamilnadu and finally reaches Bangalore...last december i went home and traveled by train...while traveling by train i always prefer to travel by sleeper class...but when you go for such a long journey and need to stay for 48 hours in the compartment,a/c compartment will give you a little comfort for your journey... but there is always a disappointment...in this a/c compartment, you can't see much of outside landscapes but the faces of your other co-passengers...

... i remember, it was a truly boring journey for me, last time i traveled... i took some photographs that time... the one i uploaded here is from that journey...the person in the foreground had not slept previous night...he was traveling to assam... he learned that there were some kind of riots in assam by ULFA... some of the bihari people were already evacuated from the land of assam... he was quite worried about it...i saw him talking over his mobile phone every hour...

...on the other hand this little boy was so spontaneous, always doing something very important !!! his mother was tired atlast...

those were the 40 hours of my insomnia...
