Wanted: Patience

Today I am heading to Rishikesh to spend some time with meditation and practicing yoga in a ashram… the first challenge have already started, keep calm and relaxed while train is delayed hour for hour. Observing the people stepping in out the trains, carrying children and lot if stuff, gathered families sitting the ground eating or sleeping, mothers breastfeeding their little babies and so in is just entertaining.

India has the fourth largest railroad system in the world, behind only the USA, Russia and China.

The Indian Railways consists of a total track length of 126,366 km on 67,956 km of track along with 7,335 stations. The railroads operates 13,523 passenger trains and 9,146 freight trains daily. The railroad sector in India ships 1418.1 tons of freight and Indian Railways transports over eight billion passengers every year.

I can only admire this logistical work. Eat, wait & take it easy…

As I learned today: INDIA GREAT ALWAYS LATE!

18:00 departed the train and for my fortune it figured out I have a bed in a sleeper…

Binyani (fried dough Ballspieles with a spicy lentil potato mix) and Chai Masala are also provided… happy me 💞Read more
