Recap: 

Thinking of all crushed expectations and remembering the situation of his journey in general compartment with his father and comparing that with the present Koushik continued his journey. On one station he got down for fresh air and was listening to the music. He didn’t hear the siren of train and by the time he realised the train got its speed and he was running with the train to catch it.

The Beauty

I was running with the train and at last, while the train was about to catch up speed, I got my hands on the handle of the door but my legs were in air. My wrist was taking all the body weight. I just got a feel of losing grip on the handle and being crushed under the iron wheels of train.

But, however I managed to get into the train and on that attempt, my watch  got a hit on the door, which made the cover on the screen fly away. That watch was the most valuable thing, as it was presented by my sister. By luck, nothing has happened to it, just lost the polythene cover on it.

The incident, gave some memories of my sister, and my mind went to another world in which I lost my command on the surroundings. My mind started filling with the memories of my sister, faster than the train.

There entered a weird music, into my mind which disturbed my thoughts and memories. Then to know what that weird music was, I turned my back, which gave me a sight of real weird things. Everyone inside the train removed their shirts, and was standing semi naked due to suffocation. The weird music is the quarrel between two ladies who started using their bloody vulgar mouths for just placing one’s luggage on others.

It was too hot and was suffocating. But suddenly cool breeze ran over our wet and heated bodies and a smile came up in all our faces. The cool breeze made me enjoy the beauty of nature, Nature is the first beauty of the world, and it is the one that will never harm us, but helps us lead a peaceful life.

while I was enjoying the excellent weather it happened to start a quite a non-genre song in my ear. Then I tried to switch the song which made me realise that the button on the head set was not working and the shopkeeper, had me fooled, by selling a damaged piece that too at a higher cost.

I wasn’t in a situation to take my mobile out from pocket and change the song. So I simply removed my headset and started enjoying the nature without any background music.

Even music, is a disturbance while enjoying the nature. I don’t know whether my eyes got coloured or what, but the beauty of nature instantly rose up and my eyes were sparkling to the beauty of the nature. While listening to the music my mind was into imagination so that I lost my taste on the nature.

But then, it was clear it is really something, we can live rest of our life by staring at its beauty. At the end of the mountains, I saw all the animals in forest gathering for a discussion on some issue. At the top of the mountain, lion was standing with all the proud in its face. But for a reality, they are all trees but not the animals. That view was really breath-taking and world, is full of wonders we can’t name. It all depends on the eyes and heart that we feel with.

            I think the train, just crossed Nandalur and was on its way to Ontimitta, the sky was covered by the thick and dark clouds. The clouds from far appeared as the wrist of almighty lending his hand to earth to give her a shower to help herself cool and to serve the thirsty land. It was really a heart touching scene like the entire cycle of the earth appeared at that spot and gave a lesson that, on this earth we are all players (tenants) and that almighty is the cause for existence of all the things that we see and feel.

            As we were approaching towards that spot of almighty’s wrist, the cool breeze got intensified, and the entire suffocation inside the train was completely cleared. There was a connection between fingers of almighty and earth and the connection soon, appeared as thin silk threads shining out, hiding sun behind them. The sun added saffron color to those threads which gave a pleasant view. My heart, started bouncing and enjoying the cool breeze touching the skin and eyes looking at a wonderful sight. Suddenly the boys sitting at the door stood and started pushing me into the train. I didn’t understand why they are doing so? They are not even listening to my words but continued pushing me…..
