I haven’t been able to write of late. Lots of things happening around here.
Will write about everything in due course.
I started from Pune on the evening of 25th November. Konark Express was on time and it reached the station sharp at 1900 hrs. I did not have a confirmed ticket. Since I had booked it at the last moment the best that I could get was RAC. But luckily my ticket got confirmed and I got a berth.
Since this journey is a long one(around 36 hours) it tends to get boring. I took a couple of magazines and a few novels on my phone to pass the time. Giving company to me was a young student from IIT Bombay. It was nice talking to him.
Hyderabad was the only place where I got down from the train. We reached Hyderabad at around 7 am next morning. Had a breakfast of Idli and Vada.
I passed the day by reading a short writeup on the Google way of doing business and by conversing with my co-passengers. Eventually the day ended and I woke up the next day when the train was just about to reach Bhubaneshwar. Daddy had come to receive me.
We left New Delhi at 3 in the morning and reached Beijing at around one in the afternoon but the flight was of only 6 and half hours…so effectively we had lost around 2 and half hours of time. We went around in a stupor for the first day as the body gradually adjusted to the missing time…by 2nd day everything was normal.
Had been hearing about Jet Lag and I experienced it for the first time..
