People fly by aeroplanes. They travel by buses, cars and scooters. Sometimes they travel by the ships to the various countries, but I like a journey by train.
Once when my cousins marriage was to be celebrated. I had a chance to travel by train upto Amritsar which is far away from Bombay. Actually I travelled by air to Delhi and stayed there with my brother for a fortnight before I decided to travel by train with the marriage party.
We started from the New Delhi Railway Station. We had already got our seats reserved in a second class compartment. Forty persons started along with my cusion who was to be married. We had got enough luggage with us. There were children and ladies with us.
The train started at 8 a.m. and we were soon out of Delhi and reached the Panipat Railway Station, where the train halted for eight minutes. We ordered tea and all of us had a cup of tea each. The train became late and we dont know the reason why it happened. We started from Panipat at 9.45 a.m. after waiting for about half an hour.
I wanted to see outside the compartment. I occupied my seat near the window of the compartment. I saw the trees flying fast like the train running at top speed. Everything appeared to be in motion.
I looked at the sky. The sun was moving fast. I asked my father why it happens so. He told me that the train was in motion and we were sitting in the train, therefore, everything appears to be in motion. But actually those things are not in motion and it is our train that moves along. Anyhow, it was a good experience to watch men move fast outside.
