Note: - Please note I have written a short story by the same title.If you like to read it then send me ur email id to 'gsvasu2006@gmail.com'. I will send the same to you.

I like to travel by train,
It dosen't matter when
Irrespective of hot sun
Or even when it may rain.
I just want to travel
And have some fun.

Like a kid I too wonder,
Whether the train
Is on the move,
Or the bridges, houses,
Hedges and ditches
Are on the run.
As the train rushes
Faster and forward
Perhaps, even beats
The faster wind,
Leaving everything behind.

The distant hills,
The plain grass lands
Where the cattles and
Horses graze.
Everything is only
For a wink of an eye,
Even the birds that fly,
High in the blue sky.

The friends that I make,
In my carriage.
We speak as though,
We know each other
For many years.

Oh, look on that tree,
At the confused monkey.
Those wonderful green
Crops fields.
The washer man near
The river and his donkey.

The farmer on his
Bullock cart,
The child playing with
His precious toy
In the front of the hut.

So many pretty sights,
The lens of my eyes
Try to capture,
And store them in
The memory files
of my beautiful mind.

The vendors and their
Routine song,
I wish this journey
Could be a little long.

Those crowded and
Colourful stations
That come by,
Before my station
Does arrive.
