Train of thought

I came back to Hyderabad after a 2 week Sojourn touching Sangam Ka Kumbh, Sahity Ka Kumbh and Sangeet Ka Kumbh. (The epitome of religious, literary and musical confluences). My heartfelt thanks to Shailesh Pradhan, Balvinder Sharma and Pavan Jha for keeping their hearts and doors open. 

Everyone at home were quite delighted looking at all the gifts I got in Jaipur. I started unwrapping each of them and finally the last one was left. To everyone's surprise it was empty, but I started feeling that it was the heaviest. It was the "train of thought" fueled by fond memories, ignited by love and affection, and running on lasting friendship; threatening to cross the tracks and barge into the fields. It started swaying, "Let it flow, let it flourish, let it flood"  but an inner voice calmed it down, "let it stew, let it spin, let it simmer, it will then be tastier". So friends the next set of stories have started cooking. I am just looking around for some spice. Stay tuned.
