The Train Journey

I often find myself thinking deeply about Life and it's purpose. One such thinking took place while I was travelling back from Dehradun to Delhi in a train. 

It was freezing cold at 6 in the morning and I was shivering and dreaming about the hottest summers of Delhi and that I swear gave me heavenly feels. 

Anyways, I noticed on each railway stop some people were getting on the train to begin their journey while some were getting off the train at their respective destinations. This activity of people caught me into deep thinking about the concept of Life.

After much thinking, I developed an interesting concept about what life is. 

Our life is like a train journey, the only difference in this train is that the people boarding this train are unware about their destinations. This journey has designated destination for every person boarding it, it arrives without any notice and the person is thrown out of the train without any prior notice.

Throughout our journey, we'll meet thousands of people boarding the train with us , some people touches our hearts and souls and  become our friends, or spouses. While there are some people sitting right next to us on our seats but we choose to label them as acquaintances. Some people give us bad experiences and we choose to dislike or hate them and move to the next compartment of the train but they still board with us in the very same train. 

Everything we do on this train, be it developing relations, breaking hearts, dancing, crying, reproducing ,moving to another seats etc is our own choice.

The only thing which is out of our hands is our destination or our stop. The journey of the train still continues for the people boarding it. 

Journey will continue forever , it won't ever be at hault. 

What matters in this journey are the deeds we commit while we are inside the train , the relations we build and how we make our fellow passengers feel.

The very beginning of the journey is different for each person while entering the train but the best part is that it's in our own hands to make it the way we want it to be. It's our own choice who we want to be around, what we want to be, who we want to be, how we want our journey to be. We are our own designers, architects and therapists.

Every second thousands of new passengers  board the train and thousands of passengers exit. 

Make your journey count because you don't know when your destination may arrive. Maybe it's going to be tomorrow or next week, you never know. 

It's dumb to assume that we are going to be the passengers of this train forever. Each day we are getting closer to our destination. 

Make your journey count by being kind and living each day like it's your last.
