    “Delayed, Arrived, Departures, Cancelled: Station Board casting reality….”

    CAUTION:Re-read the board, to relate it, to realise the ongoing life story!

    “Laugh in the face of life, because everything will happen according to designed timeline.”


    Every platform is a platform for learning, every journey is a lesson, every destination is a realisation, every departure is the truth.”

    >If you have to lose yourself to catch it, it was never your train.”
      > “If I cannot wait, I’m not meant for this train”

       >Though the weight of wait is real.”
        > “If I have to return empty handed, God please don’t allow me to walk that path”
        > “Have a safe journey, because journey tests you more than destination ever will!”


    Train Announcements:

    ‘The train has arrived on its respective platform”
    No one wants to miss this train. But I say, “If you have to lose yourself to catch it, it was never your train.”

    Why worry about losing something? If it’s meant to be yours, you’ll reach it anyway. Don’t rush, don’t cling. Just walk in that direction, on the path that will lead you to your destination. It won’t just vanish all of a sudden, but if you are destined to board it, it will appear there magically, trust this… it will, If you started on time and your efforts are honest, you won’t miss it this time.

    Life throws a thousand opportunities your way. You miss them, they slip from your hands. What if they were just wake-up calls? To make you active, to make you realize you have to act before time slips away?

    “The train has been delayed”
    But I say, “If I cannot wait, I’m not meant for this train.”

    Though the weight of wait is real.”

    We want to close our eyes and reach the destination in a second. But then you’re skipping the journey. And without the journey, the destination is out of reach. You miss all that you could have admired — and that is priceless. That’s why some people lose, because they never really started.

    Sometimes you are excited, you wait for results, but they don’t show up instantly. Empires aren’t built overnight. Everything you put your soul, heart, and effort into requires patience. Though the weight of wait is real, delay is never denial. Trust the timing.

    “The train has been cancelled”
    But I say, “If I have to return empty-handed, God please don’t let me walk that path.”


    Losing is okay, but knowing you chose the wrong path, misguided yourself, and picked the wrong choice — you cannot reclaim what you lost. It wastes years of your time and self.
    Don’t rush to a place where you were never invited, or where you are not needed. It’s okay to step back from the station to your home

    “The train has departed”
    But I say, “Have a safe journey, because the journey tests you more than the destination ever will!”
    The journey is where you understand yourself. It can cause delay, it can make you sit longer, depending on the speed of the train, the hurdles it has to cross, the tunnels it runs through, and how God ultimately lands you there.

    I spent years thinking I was doing it from my end,
    Then found years passing, blessing me with things I never wanted.
    Then I lived years, learning to accept what I was granted,
    And now every minute I believe — yes, this is the life I was seeking, the one God has painted.

    The last train I left…

    “I didn’t miss it, I watched it go..”

    Platforms don’t await you,
    they just bear your weight.

    It is the train
    that crosses paths every time,
    carrying you
    in any state —
    Broken, injured or lost —
    you are allowed to escape everywhere.

    Nothing calls you to suffer,
    you suffer in greed of your own desires,
    becoming a burden for the platform,

    while you could have just
    caught that next train
    and moved on…
    Don’t watch it go this time.*
    At any rate*
    This train is never*
    Coming back to this platform*
    Ever again.*

    Have you ever done something consciously? Yeah, we do everything while we are in a concious state and living, but doing what you do, having an understanding, knowing the consequences of your choices, everything set clear in your mind, reflecting in your action, you know you won’t regret this time, you know your choices will disappoint many, maybe you’ll fail your people who are closer to you,

    but you’ll still do it, because that is best, no matter how bitter it is, unless and until you won’t taste it, the poison won’t become an elixir for you….

    The most bitter, the most forbidden, I pray God to leave it my way, I’ll handle the rest, for it will still work as a medicine, It will still heal, because it’s not my fault that I get that, if I’m blessed with that.

    The train you miss accidentally, the people who leave without a reason and warning, the opportunities that you lose by mistake, everything that happened never give it a second thought. You don’t need to bother, it came your way, escaped your hand, don’t spiral your mind with why?

    Why we always think what we missed was something beautiful? Why we wait in hope that everything that will come our way would be warm and kind?

    It was the best thing that happened,
    once I left a train on purpose
    and watched it go.

    Understand this —
    It was the one I observed,
    filled with people I knew,
    but didn’t remember…

    Because the ones who left,
    deceived, deserted,
    looked down on me
    are no more going to accompany me
    in a train even till the very next stop.

    I barely remember them,
    I just can recognise them if ever I face them,
    but I mind that to never travel
    the path they trace,
    so it won’t happen.

    The next time I missed it accidentally,
    but before regret could hit me,
    I realised it saved me from many dangers,
    it was not a right choice,
    but God protects every time.

    Build on belief,
    build on instincts,
    build on real,
    no more fake…

    Don’t regret the train you left, my soul,
    some departures save you, making you whole.And some arrivals are yet to come,
    to return what they stole,
    to give back what you lost,
    tenfold.

    Watching Places Moving Past Us~

    What you leave behind doesn’t follow you a single mile!

    Station Pass, but we don’t

    In transit: Scenes that leave us behind 

    THE WORLD OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

    “TO BEGIN WITH IS TO ARRIVE WITH NOTHING”

    “Come unprepared, because the journey will teach you the rest!”

    “I’m leaving. No surety I’ll come back.
    No surety I’ll stay there where I’m going.

    No surety I’ll return to exactly here, from where I‘ve started

    No promises..

    From Inside the train, I peep out my window,

    I’m admiring places, love them for a second..

    Then make them feel abandoned,

    Not getting off here, even if I long,

    The train knows where it’s going, Don’t bargain with destiny, it’s wrong.

    These places walking past me are to stay unknown, but forever? I doubt..

    But I spare today, for I go looking something untroubled that simply finds me,

    In hopes, I just blindly follow, I trust the time indeed.

    The journey would be long,

    maybe it leads me back to the place, to where I belong

    Nobody awaits,

    No more promises.

    “The places and people we leave behind, they are like our shadow following us everywhere, but sadly they are invisible during dark times, and when a light of hope falls on our life, they come alive out of nowhere clearly visible to us, uncover this truth, they never leave completely, but disappear when it gets real and tough.”

    “We believe from inside the train that places and people are moving past us, but it is not so, the fact that we are the one leaving them behind while train moves ahead, reality is different that what we perceive.”

    “You can hold on to every sight that met your eyes on way to your journey, but you cannot know, visit, and understand every aspect of it. People and places are just passing scenes, don’t waste your life in knowing everyone or making yourself known to every person. The one who’ll become part of your journey will get on the train and may get off sooner than you expect, don’t reget what you missed on way behind and don’t miss who already left.”
