Walking

Its surprising everywhere i go i realise that place is a world in itself. Be it uet, lakshmi, or even the railway residential colonies i walked through today. Every place has different sights and sounds.
A chore lead us to this part of Lahore i'd never been to. It was the Railway office complex or something. Actually its not far away from the railway station (and we've been there millions of times) but its tucked in behind a maze of "galis". When i finally got there i realised there literally was a world going about its daily routine irrespective of the outside world. We had to meet someone.
From the outlook, it seemed pretty rusty. Everything seemed rusty and old and in shabby condition. But when we entered the office, we were surprised by the pure wood walls and a mahogany table and an lcd screen. The owner of this was some bigwig and was pretty presentably. Anyways, we then walked all the way to the station, again through a complex maze of pathways, going through small quarters.
The railway station has always fascinated me. I love the locomotives, they ooze power and strength. And after seeing what each and every integral part looks like during the industrial tour, it has increased my fascination.
We had to meet the station superintendent at the station. Met him and walked to the other part of the area, crossing a big bridge that overlooks all the platforms, walking through more mazes, through a huge residential area with small quarters for houses, all of yellow color. I was surprised to see so many people leaved in that place. Thats when i realised i haven't seen anything. Thats when i realised the insignificance of my own knowledge.
I walked a lot today. But i thoroughly enjoyed it. I wasn't alone and we talked all the way. But what i really enjoyed was absorbing the sights and sounds of each place i went to today.
In the evening, we had to go to lakshmi. And again, the same feeling crept in, that i know is nothing at all...i'd like to mention the very very tasty kashmiri tea i had there..was great huhuhahaha...but i still haven't had bhatti ki karahi :(...i wanna have it right now...
