Here I am again back. Its been a hell of a week what with something or the other.
I am finally back in Ahmadabad. I sat in the train from Bangalore on last Sunday at 13:30 and reached my city on Tuesday morning at 0400 hours. 40 hours of journey in the train can kill you I tell you! Thank God, I had Priyanka, my housemate with me.

She also came back after her one month tour in the South. She is working with Nehru Foundation, an NGO. These days, she is working on the project which does the Tsunami analysis. I'm quite relieved that she came back with me. She looked half dead with exhaustion after one month. At least now that she is back here, she can relax for sometime before going off again.

When in the train, we wondered how far apart our seats would be. But what a treat! Our seats were in the same compartment, opposite to each other and this, despite the fact that she had booked her tickets a month earlier and me at the last minute! Her own colleague had been unable to get a seat together with her and was sitting in another compartment ( though we changed that as one of the seats in our compartment was empty, we got her shifted.) Her name is Karen and I found her to be a sensible and sweet person.

The stretch of luck went further. Normally, you have to be wary of people sitting around you- you never know what kind of people are going to be your companions. A normal compartment would have 8 sleeper seats. One of them was filled with a businessman from UP (Uttar Pradesh is called UP. It is one of the bigger states of India) who was going to visit his daughter and the other two with two south Indians who slept through the whole journey. The businessman from UP was a hell of a creative mind. HE gave Priyanka and Karen loads of puzzles to solve and all of them brilliant ones too!

On the other seat was a guy from Ivory Coast who was delighted that he had found us. He is one of the AIESEC trainees and was very happy when he found out that we were from AIESEC too and knew most the trainees in Ahmadabad where he is going to stay for the next 10 months. Nervous too he was, for it was a long journey by train and he is not used to it. :D

So our train journey turned out to be quite pleasant despite being a long one. After we came back, Priyanka had a day off and I slept the whole day to make myself cabapable enough to work in the night.
And so the days have gone by in a rush with work and meeting with the lawyer(casual meeting) and a couple of other consultants. Today is Friday and thank God for it. My work will be over soon. After this, we plan to push off to watch the new Bond movie-Casino Royale. I hear, Daniel Craig looks smashing but too human as Bond. I'd rather make my own opinion though by watching it. ;) Shall let u guys know how I found it after I've seen it.

Time to go and read what my blogger friends have been upto! :D

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Cheers!
