Train journey after a very long time
Today I had to travel in train after a very long time. Mostly my travels are all with my car or with friends in their car. Today I had to do a family trip and have travelled by train. I have had several beautiful experiences with train travel in the past. When I was studying in college I travelled to college in train everyday. I used to meet a lot of people during the journey and have fun with them. After my college days I didn't get more opportunity to travel in Train.

Talking to random strangers is an interesting experience. Initially when we start the conversation we have to find topics to talk with each other. Then we can keep going with the flow. Some people are hesitant to talk to strangers but some people are so open that they share almost everything. Before we get down from the train, we will know the entire history of the other person. And we might make good friends with them before we get down.
Day journey
Day or night makes a huge difference in our travel. If we travel during night, mostly everyone will sleep and we end up having no fun at all but if we are doing day travel, we can observe what is happening around us and meet new people in our journey. It will be an excellent experience. Different people have different things to share with us and it is a good opportunity to socialize.
Today when we were travelling, I met a few interesting people who were coming to India from other countries for their vacation. They were all working in gulf countries and they were coming here for a short leave. I got a chance to interact with them and ask them about many things. Mostly the topics that we were talking was related to how are things in Gulf countries. Looks like one person was from Bahrain and another person was coming from Kuwait. They explained how advanced those countries are now and said many interesting things.
Taking our kid along with us in the journey was a little challenging. I thought it would be very hard but it wasn't as hard as I feared. During the travel we had some distractions for the kid that kept him occupied. In the next compartment there was another kid that was of same age of my son. We made both the kids play with each other. This is how we were able to manage the kid. Otherwise it is hard to manage train travels with kid.
Travel is fun
In those days people love travelling and train journey was one of the most common mode of travel and this interaction with strangers usually happen back in the old days too. There have been Indian movies that shows how just a train meeting builds a big relationship. Some people even find their partner from their train travel.
When I was travelling to my college, we loved the train travel so much. I had to travel almost 2 hours in train everyday and we had a gang of friends during our travel. We also made a few friends from other colleges too whom we meet in train everyday. We will be able to see so many things during the travel and it can be both good as well as bad things. It is very common.

Meeting new people on trains can make travel so memorable. Glad your kid had fun too brother
Train journeys can be truly nostalgic and offer a unique social experience that car travels often don't.
Train journeys certainly has a charm of its own, bringing back memories of college days and offering new opportunities to socialize and learn about different cultures.
Traveling is indeed fun, and train journeys add a special touch to the adventure.
I've never travelled by train before but I know it's an enjoyable experience when you meet new people during travels. It creates lifelong memories. Thanks for sharing the details of your travel with us. Have a great weekend.
Would you believe that I have never traveled by a train before
I don’t know why I’m always scared of it but I guess it is because the trains passes bushy areas and I am scared of attacks of any form
I’m glad you had a way to keep your son busy and also make him enjoy the trip
Traveling is always fun especially when you’re comfortable in the train, bus or whichever means of transport you make use of

From your writings I can tell you love traveling and adventure as a whole, good thing you got to enjoy that after a long time. Personally I haven't gotten the opportunity to travel around yet, planning on doing so as I get more familiar with wealth creation and get pass the age requirement to be an adult.
Train travels certainly looks like an opportunity to chit chat freely as most people there are strangers and might become friends based on how things goes, although I don't think it's very safe to share confidential information especially about family and the business as well as other key factors which is different to everyone, I wish you more adventures.
👏 Keep Up the good work on Hive ♦️ 👏
