The.Journey.On.The.Train

In life, Working is like taking a long journey on a train. As it moves from stop to stop, commuters get on and off the train. We may initially feel a little shy when we get onboard as there are so many new faces to get adjusted to. Some may greet us with a smile, a few may offer us a seat beside them and others may just leave us to our own business.

As the journey continues, we will slowly blend in and become part of the commuter community that is on board. We may start making friends with the commuters who are sitting beside us. Some adventurous visits to other coaches and the ocassional visits to the warm-and-cozzy canteen coach may land us with some new friends too.

As time passes, we get to know more people on the train and we may treat some of them like our family members. There is absolutely nothing under the sun that cannot be talked about during all those breakfasts and lunches in the canteen coach. From the latest news to past experiences and even juicy gossips about the commuter in the next coach.

However, like ourselves, everyone has a destination to reach and there is bound to be a day when they will need to get off the train - either take the next train or to celebrate the end of their journey. People come and go, but the train keeps going. This is how the journey works.

I need to get ready now. My stop is coming up next. ;)
