From the plains of Dikrong to Ganga

starting of from guwahati in the morning of 26 may 2006, our train scored a perfect 5 in timing, catched all the major halts in time. As we went away from Asom, the color of the vegetation starts changing..till west Bengal one can see beautiful green color paddy fields besides the rail track..large wasteland..small huts...build by clay with a little pond in front of the house...childrens swimming with animals and birds..in between small hillocks, some forest reserve..thick dence forest..

crossing the ganga for the first time near Patna, one comes to the land of palm and mango tree..people changes dress and language..seems there is more hardship..huts changes to brick walls..still gobar is used to make plates for burning...seems that some water is out of soil..making it more suitable to grow different crops...you come across more railway stations..and more busy routes..reminding that its a nation with 2 billion hands...even the taste of water seems to change a bit...
you come across people, having a strong sense of bonding...both for friendship as well as success..as we reach to the heart of the nation..first obvious indicator is the temperature..encountered hot wind call Loo..pollution is at its best..yamuma..woo..clotted with plastic waste like a mini desert of plastic..reduced to no more than the river flowing across the NERIST boundary..our bridge to block H.........but the real taste is something different...finally you landed up in the heaven of vegetarian food..your eye and every part of the body will feel satisfied with beautiful ladies you can see.......its my study last tour ....
