Got stranded in korukonda railway station, vizianagaram district at 1am. Fell asleep in the last leg of my journey from vijayawada to vizag and had to get down out of a moving train at korukonda only to be enlightened that no passenger trains stop there at nights. Im literally stranded with two station staff and three mongrels who growl at every moment of mine and a tiny british cottage a pathetic excuse for a station but picture perfect to me. The dim lights, the occasional ding of a bell of the archaic machinery has transported me back to the bygone times, truly a beautiful experience. Its all in your perspective. To compliment the ambience there is an Avery weighing machine from 1892 in the station and it had a stamp that said it was the property of the erstwhile Bengal Nagpur Railway. Wish I had a camera with me to capture the moment. Tomorrow I may not even remember this moment, but as of now Im thoroughly soaking in every sight and sound. Life is so fascinating especially when you are in love.
