Insanity

I can't complain about not having proper internet and not having time. I have everything here, Bombay left me with no choice but to use this space to the fullest. So, I feel, that is the reason this place has been explored by me more, quite recently though.
This one is about the train journey on my way back from Delhi to Bombay. I had some issues with passport and to sort that out I had gone to Delhi on 21st Jan. While I was returning, on 25th noon somewhere near Jaipur area, train's engine went down. It could not generate enough power to pull the train. Since train had halted for quite a long time, I decided to get down the train to roam around. I walked up to the engine, nearly dead engine making 'growling' sound fascinated me more than anything till date! I could sense the power, the majesty. Awesome! I instantly fell in love with train engines!
I have always loved trains. I dreamt of being train driver as a kid, having grown a bit to have some monetary sense I dreamt bigger, to become a TTE, he he. Life took a turn I ended up being an computer engineer.
Knowing the fact that engine and therefore the train will not move I moved to track to have the front view. I was afraid, I felt the shiver, while standing in front of the train. The pattern of sound the engine made had scared the hell out of me, when I heard it for the first time. I was busy in some chitchat with the train driver about the engine and 'navigating' the train, I saw a train coming from the other side. There was not much of a distance between two tracks i.e. between our train and the approcahing train on the other track. I walked midway between two tracks. Train was coming at super awesome speed from other side. I freezed to my place. Seeing me there, I heard a people shouting of course thinking that I'm on a suicide 'mission', "You are way to close to the track, step back, moving trains pull you towards themselves". Although I heard them, I had no sense to respond, either by action or by words. I was still for next 2-3 seconds since the time train crossed me, I guess firstly surprised of the fact that I was not pulled by the train, I had proved people wrong and secondly, the speed and the aura of the moving train had still kept me spell bounded.
After a wait to another half an hour another engine came and we started with our journey.
I had forgotten of this thing until today, when I saw crow trying to perch on a steel bar of a pillar of some 'Metro train' work in Andheri area.
While I have typed this 'Aadat' by Atif baba has played, if I'm not wrong, 7 times. Thanks to Gauri for providing this song through some 'fileshare' mechanism, which I need to learn. I'll be drafting a, I believe, unique idea in another post after this one. It's one hell of a one liner. You'll love me and my creatvity after going through it, I bet!
