Much awaited break

Wasn't able to update my blog as last two weeks were bit hectic. I was eagerly awaiting this vacation. But something somewhere is really wrong in this world. South India is receiving unusually heavy rainfall off season. Yesterday we departed bit late from our home. Our train was scheduled to arrive by 9 PM and we managed to get an auto by 8:15. The auto driver was clever enough to gauge our urgency and used it effectively with his share of reasons. Things seemed fine at that point,but they really weren't. Bangalore's iconic "traffic congestion" combined with rain gave us a tough time. Till 8:55 my heart was pounding with anxiety but after that I lost the hope of catching the train. I started to draft plans to spend the week in bangalore. Now that I got a new bike and as it was advised to go for a long ride for the engine to settle, I was thinking about some places around bangalore at "bikable" distance. My bike must be cursing me as it is not going to get the pleasure of carrying any beautiful beings as "I" own it. Can't be helped, I pity you my bike !!!

Our auto driver accelerated his BMW (He had that symbol all over his vehicle!!!) and somewhat managed to get us safe to the railway station. It was 9:30 and I don't know why came to railway station even. The station was tightly packed with fleeing out-station bangaloreans like us. Despaired of reaching my home town I vaguely looked at the TV that displayed the train timings. Wow!!!!!! Amazing!!!! Can't believe this !!!!! My train was late by one and half hours. After all,there is some justice in this world and god has shown some mercy on us.

After boarding, my friend was praying as usual for some "good fortune". But as our quota of good luck for the day was already over his prayer didn't work out. I reached my hometown around 9 AM. It was raining here too. I am feeling really fresh and exuberant after reaching home. Had exotic and delicious food. East or west,home is the best !!!
