Me and Marta..:)



Whats this relation between me and a train? Why am I so excited about it?
A train is just something that takes you from one place to another. But if a train is giving you peace of mind, then its more than anything. If its so close to your work that you can walk and get in. Its like a car with a driver that is sent to you to pick up from work.:) Where you dont have to worry about parking or traffic.

Ever wonder that someone would write a blog about Marta Train? This is one admirer of trains who had to travel in Train in recent times and ever since I started travelling, I always wanted to blog. So many thoughts cross my mind.

My love for trains came from India. In India, our trains are not only used as means of transport. But to talk. Here people are like sitting in a library. They dont talk much.
And they dont talk to the next person either, every person is hesitant to break the ice. They feel that they are not concerned to know about other's life. And its something called, 'privacy'.

haha..well I think its just humanity. But, after coming to U.S. Even I started thinking this way. When someone does something different than their culture,people look at you weirdly.
And you feel weird too.

Even though I want to start talking, I am hesitant too. In India, I was not, as everyone does it.

I think travelling in public transportation is much interesting than a car where you are alone with you and your music. Honkig at the car infront of you. Taking food in drive thru's. This whole concept of drive thru's is for people who dont want to get off the car, love their car so much.
