Journey to Bangalore - in a brief ...

, , ,

i was there to visit sister & younger brother in my winter vacations. This city is the most hyped IT city of India.It is about 2500 KM down south from my poor village so i was in train for about 36 hrs!! yeah you must be saying "thats nuts" - why not travel with plane, but look at the ticket prices ... uff ..its a matter of an extra digit on the price tag....so for a poor person train is better option(atleast you can discuss about our beloved railway minister Lalu Prasad with the fellow passengers bigsmile ),even the scenery that the train passes through is so jaw-dropping,eye-popping!! especially the dreaded dacoits & bandits infested plateau region of India - Chambal,famously called "chambal ki ghatiyan" .But this journey was one of my best ones as i made an unusual friend - a buddhist monk!!! Well,well this was the most "modern" monk i had ever seen! first he was such a handsome man!(please excuse me girls,monks dont marry bigsmile ).He was in his traditional or may be religious maroon coloured dress wearing stylish dark brown goggles,his ears were busy at a Transcend 4GB mp3 player with songs from "Michal Jackson,Britney,Jennifer....hindi/Urdu songs...punjabi,nepali & Tibeti" !! he was armed with a nice "new Nokia" & he gave me his "email Id" also for future contact! he has even given me the address of his Monastery.
But he was a very kind man,helping every passenger with his luggage.since i am a bit nosy with people of different religion or culture so we discussed about many things,it was really extraordinary to know about his life & so on ... he was a graduate from his monastry in Philosophy of Buddhism! He was a refugee from Tibet but he could speak little Hindi/Urdu also little English.He was in India for the last 18 years! without seeing his parents sad .... he gave me his name,mobile no. , address on the reverse side of some sticker ... i was happy! ... but when i flipped it over it was the Tibet flag & on it was written "SAVE TIBET" ... you know from whom .... sad
