Life, they say, is like a journey that takes us through different phases. But sometimes, a journey by itself can translate into experiences that remain with us for life. Each one of us can remember at least one experience from a train journey.We run into people-faces--from the past whom we may want to avoid, new faces, strangers that seem attractive, unknown hands reaching out to help and unbelievable relationships that start to unfold. This book carries eleven such stories about people like you and me. Lives that are brought together on rails by the Indian Railways; the past, present and future converging like the tracks that intersect and diverge, moving towards different destinations, keeping that journey called life unbroken.
