A train journey, especially in an AC compartment in the summer, is a great way to catch up on sleep. I slept like a log for 5 hours straight and was woken up by the TC. By the time I woke up, it was dinner time & I made do with a highly reccomended "omlette parotha", which did live up to its expectation and a pepsi.
Since my destination would arrive at 2 in the morning, I ended up sleeping in parts. Unfortunately the train was running 2 hours behind schedule, which meant I needed to fight harder to stay awake. Finally the train arrived at Kumta at 4:15 am and there's nothing more welcoming than your wife's warm smile and a hug to make you forget the journey. Snehal barely slept in the night, anxious that she might oversleep and was smiling from ear to ear, a sight that makes me overjoyed, the minute she saw me.
We drove past sleepy lanes and empty crossings and reached home after a 15 min drive. Old style homes have a warmth which city homes don't and I settled in quite easily. After a brief chat with my in-laws we crashed into bed, dying to catch up some sleep.
While at it, here's a bit about Kumta
