India is a country known for its incredible diversity. Every region boasts breathtaking beauty, and I'm a huge fan of exploring it all. I particularly enjoy experiencing India's public transportation, like buses, trains, and local government buses. Today, I'd like to share a travel experience that was unfortunately delayed. During monsoon season, we had a wedding to attend in Kerala. We were in Chennai at the time, and I decided we should travel by train. While there wasn't any indication of a seasonal change, the weather took a sudden turn. The sky darkened with heavy clouds, and it started raining. Initially, we didn't think much of it, as rain is common during monsoon season. However, the rain continued for five hours, and the train came to a standstill. We were stuck for several hours, and the train only moved to the next station before stopping again. We were worried, as we learned that many areas in Kerala had been flooded, including the railway station. The station was submerged, with chairs underwater and officials perched on tables. It was a frightening experience. Sadly, we missed the wedding ceremony, but thankfully, we were able to attend the reception the following day. It was a disappointing experience, but we were grateful to be safe and to still be able to celebrate with our loved ones.
