My Train Sagas...

My train life is pretty happening.. I cant say it is always exciting but then, it is happening.. everyday, I have the fortune [or misfortune, depending on the person I meet.], of meeting someone interesting on the journey.. I decide I wud write about that, that day evening.. But then, as and when I reach back, my only thought is to get online and talk to my someone these days.. and the thots of blogging are pushed to the backside of my mind..
Wait! A frnd online.. :(
Ok. He has gone to have tea. Will be back in 10 minutes.. I think I shud jot something before he gets back.. As usual, it wud be to vent his emotions, but then I cant help it.. I listen to people..
so, I was talking about my train journeys..
One day, I met a kid. Small thing.. Some 7 yr old.. He was with his Amma and Aunt.. Now, the kid was travelling in a train for the first time.. He was kinda excited.. Kept asking his aunt things like "Why is this train getting slower?" "Why does it have to stop?" "Why cant it go to the place we want, first?" "Why is this chechi traveling with us?" I smiled hearing his questions..
He smiled back.. such a sweet thing.. And then, he became shy. :) Went and hid in his amma's saree.. I was thinking,only small innocent things can do this.. :) And that is the beauty of kids.. Then, he started peeping out from his amma's saree, to see whether I was looking at him. And i was also enjoying it.. We started playing peekaboo. ;) After sometime, i started feeling glances of people who were starting to notice my kiddish behaviour.. So, I stopped and took my mob out.. To mail my someone.. When he saw that I was not interested in playing with him anymore, he slowly came out of the saree, bolder now. Next thing I knew, he was near me.. looking right into my mob screen.. :D One hand on my lap... trying hard to strain his body up, so that he could reach my height. I was surprised..:) and happy..
He then asked me "Is this nokia?" 'No.' "Sony Ericsson?" 'Yup' "My dad has a Sony Ericsson, amma has Nokia, ..." and went on to describe all the mobs in his family.. Granma's Granpa's and all god-knows-who's..

The kids have grown.. Aint they? :) I didnt even know a phone cud be taken with you while you travel when I was that small.. :)
May be he wud have a mob of his own, soon, by the looks of it.. :)
Donno whether my kids will be born with a mobile and laptop 'sponsored by heaven'.. :P hehe..
In that case, god, send something user friendly,with user manual and all.. If those things ask me how to use it, how am I supposed to tell them how?? :P
