I travel very often by public transport as it is very convenient and I am here going to talk about a journey which I will remember for lifetime. I vividly remember it was a matter of last year. I was travelling on train with my parents from Amritsar to Delhi. We opted for train because trains are very comfortable and scenic. The journey was about 5-6 hours long but felt much shorter because of how pleasant it was. During our travel, a group of ladies were seated next to us. They entered the train talking and giggling and from that point I sensed that it would be a fun sitting next to them. Slowly we introduced ourselves and we got to know that they were friends and were going on a trip. After some time we got comfortable with each other and started talking and laughing with them. They were very fun ladies. They were very loving and friendly. It was as if we all knew each other from a very long period of time and we were never strangers. My mother had brought lunch and snacks since she knew it would be a very long journey and we munched on those and enjoyed the serenity of nature through the window. The ride allowed us to appreciate the beauty of Indian countryside. All in all it was very fun and delightful experience and I was very elated by the journey. We were able to spend the great quality time as a family. The time went away with a blink of an eye and I will never forget this journey.
