to lively villages
to where once lived, the famous "Tenali Raman"
Speeding through dark tunnels
for fear of the dacoits and thieves,
police walk by the berths in tight security
speaking in low volumes clandestine
it was a trip through the time
Those fights for the window seats
between young and even the old
to get the coveted spot,
"the window seat!"
Those calls from local Chai walas
and hawkers
shouting "Cha cha! Samosa Garam"
