My train companions - 2 (Walk towards the Peak - 4)

Once the train gained speed, the Lady started talking to me and was telling about herself and her stubborn decision to join this tour.....I could find the shadow of her family culture in this lady - who was doing shunya meditation and did the pranayam practise exactly when I did...as if she got reminded about them only at that point.....people who have lived their lives on full dependancy.....

During the tour, she was so nervous and felt very painful to sit in horse back...even telling me once when I had a chance to interact with her during the course of the tour, that she would have never come if she knew it was so tough....poor lady...can't even open her mouth to her husband or Sons over phone also.....(she was calling up her family by std every now and then to announce where she was and to tell that "she is safe"....I could see infact her restlessness when she spotted a phone.....more getting reminded of the dreadful face of her husband more than to share her excitement.....a really pathetic & not so interesting character.....!!

Now, there were three young boys - all of them around 25....perhaps they are young Doctors finishing MBBS and going to Delhi for some PG Entrance Exams.....(or may be in their last year of MBBS).....These three were extremely humourous cracking jokes to each other....and though they were not too eager to interact with others in the compartment, I was secretly enjoying their humour sense...

None of these three could speak English or Hindi...but they were making up their deficiency in communication in talking within themselves and making fun of the catering staff and the Hindi that was spoken at them.....!! One of them was most humourous whom I admired so much....after ordering for 4 Omelettes for their breakfast, he was innocently asking his friends...."what if the server asks in Hindi.....why do you threesome order for 4 omelettes ?? "...

seemingly "no joke" at all, I felt a roaring laughter within myself with the manner it was delivered.....These three wanted to ask some one in the compartment on the last day just before nijamudeen station if getting down there will be closer to airport instead of New Delhi....But not willing to ask any one.....as they knew only Tamil.....I went to their rescue and clarified it with a sardhar boy who was sitting with us.....When they got down from the train at New Delhi station, a sheepish thanks came from the humourous boy (only).....while his two other friends hurriedly left......

Seeing this group and the old lady in the compartment....I was wondering about the characters of the world...just to talk what is needed / to be on requesting mode with people around seems to be a great mental block for many people......!!May be they are quite successful people ...intelligent people.....good people basically....I am only referring to their PR skills....rather PR non-skills.....!!
