Train journey

You get up with the building up heat. You regret for not choosing AC class. The fan already started throwing air seems to be coming from a furnace. You are in the upper birth of a bogie going from howrah to bikaner.you search for your mobile to know the time. You find it in your pocket but the screen isn't showing any time. You press the left top corner key and then the left bottom key.(i wonder sometime why and who thought of this combination for locking the phone which every mobile manufacturer is following now.)The screen is completely unaffected by the act and remains dark. What the @&#* your mind thinks. Is it switched off? It can't be. The battery was sufficiently full last night. You press the start button 2-3 times.and finally there is a glow on the screen. The Tata logo comes and next comes missed alarm 7:30am. But before it could start completely the message comes of "battery low shutting down" and the screen goes blank again. You realize that alarm must be ringing since morning and has drained the battery. You also realised simultaneously that you have another phone and the hand goes inside another pocket. You see the time by pressing a key and think @&#* its just 10:30.
Slowly you got up remove the wires(2headphones and 2 chargers with an extra big headphone) circulating you and come down.the train is slowing down. You don't want to know where it is. out of the window you see a bridge, the cables holding it, the eyes directed by your sub conscious mind lookfor piller so that it can decide its a suspension bridge or not and then you find the water beneath the bridge. The vast stretch of H2O is none other than ganga. The aged woman on next seat stands up from her seat looks towards it and join her palms in respect in front of her face. You suddenly realise its not just another stream of water, its what is still worshipped by millions of indians inspiteof the fact that its badly rotten. But religion is always above everything in india. After the bridge the train is lowering down to the ground level and than you got to see another ocean. Ocean of buildings. Ranging from tiny to huge, painted to tin shaded. You also thinks about the people living in those. Lots of people, aware, unaware and semi-aware of each other. Everyone of then has his own success/failure story. Sometimes they entanglement each other, some time they repeat in some part, sometimes they are unheard of..... But they are there, irrespective of the fact that whether we approve them, think about them, try to solve them, ignore them... They are there. And suddenly you realize how great the god is. The server has all of this data. May be he is analysing some of them, solving some of them, discarding them and even creating them. Even if he is doing any one of this he has tremendous power. The capacity of server is unreachable with 100's of supercomputers.he controls them in a big way. This server(god) is really worth respecting if not worshipping.but what is in it for him. And there you can't think. What possibly can be in it for HIM. Why has this whole planet and the resources are build up, why these creatures utilizing these resources are made, why are they so much inter-related and why this complete plot of sun, stars, universe is build around them which they keep on exploring. The mind hangs at this question. The eternal question "WHY" really sucks the life out of us. So you press the shut down button of your mind and goes back to sleep.
The train continues to run......
