There is a strange kind vibe that people who travel or have travelled have. There is this exuberance in their eyes, this charm in their ways this warmth and light that bounces off them. The exact same is the case with stations, train stations, airports, even bus stations. These are interesting places.
I think stations are still the place where you can glimpse life at its best and worst. People only just stop at a station so that they can move on. Its that point where you change things about your life and I think it is also magnificently analogous to what all our lives are about. There is an end of the road; we call it "death" but though fatal in the literal sense it is really not the point. The point is the way you take, how you take it, and people you meet along the way how you interact and how they shape you and you shape them
The thing about people is that because for a while, they are on the same train as you are. It feels as if it will last forever. That its going to be like this forever. We share stories with them, laugh chuckle and grin together and seem to forget , that we are on a train and after a certain time either we or the other person is going to get off, and its never going to be same again.
And then you will get off at a station where there will be lots of other travellers like you who will again take the same train you are taking for a station or two. and then again someone will get off. and it keeps going on until you reach the last station of the stop ; Death.
