Mumbai to Trivandrum- A railway sojourn

We had been through this before;this was our second trip from Mumbai; in the sweltering heat, we never expected anything out of the journey. Just hoped we got back home in the right condition........

Thats us! .............Along the way


Finally we (me and vergis) decided to run back home and got prepared for the 30 odd hour journey in the kurla express!! Started off around 1 afternoon;Around April , we knew it would be hot, and hot it was! Still we were able to capture a few shots on the way. Had my age old camera with me, better to have something with you! Konkan has almost the same topography as kerala and the terrain seemed very similar .....Felt relieved to be going back , after months of mumbai madness!

Felt like getting off the train and wandering around all the places... Below are just a few pictures of scenes on the way. In mumbai, people are amazed at the scenic splendour of the south ,just putting a few pictures taken from a running train !!! What astounds people ,as you travel along the konkan is the greenery, the rivers and hills spread all around.

Finally, our journey came to an end around 7 evening the next day; As we alighted, voices ran through my mind ;what my friends in mumbai used to say - " Heard so much about your land, full of greenery, wish i could be there .........".
