as i glanced through the newspaper, i couldnt help but notice an article that spoke about people trying to stretch their travel time. using environment friendly travel means would help them enjoy the journey more than just reaching their destination. that made me think of our lives. i have heard so many people talk about enjoying every moment of your life without worrying about the end of it. in many ways, that makes sense. we get so engrossed in trying to reach our life's destinations that we miss out on the beauty of the journey that takes us there.
i have always loved train journeys more than any other means of traveling, with the exception of walking ofcourse. it reminds of my childhood days of sitting by train windows, gazing past the fields,crowded cities,no-network zones... actually it didnt matter where i sat, as long i could watch people, places whizz past me. it's a fascinating playground. the article said that as per calculations, trains consume 10kgs of carbon per passenger as opposed to 187kgs by plane and 313 kgs by car or vice versa...dont remember the numbers now and it doesnt matter too much. i was just happy to note that one of my fav modes of transport is also eco friendly.
