Rail Route Vs Road Route

A journey via rail or road is not just about keeping/shifting your back(s) in a comfortable/manageable position and to kill your time, waiting to reach the destination. I know the same is definitely worth getting pissed, when you are talking about an air trip.

The last two weekends, i got to enjoy back to back trips via road and rail, and had a chance to observe something that gives you a lot of charm to your naked eyes. :-)


The Rail Route :

"Chalo Chayya Chayya Chayya Chayya, Chalo Chayya Chayya Chayya Chayya". Yes. Absolutely, this is the song that is reminded when we stand near the door of an Indian train running at speed of more than 100 kmph. Commuters in the air conditioned coaches usually do not enjoy the view that the others experience.

India is easily a very very big country with so many varieties of landscapes. Everybody gets to realize this fact when they come across something like what we see in the picture below. You can actually find the meaning of the word peace here. Fresh oxygen, fresh breeze and no disturbance to the ears. :-)

This one is easily my favourite of the lot. Imagine if you own a house somewhere in the middle of the field. Just wake up from your bed and this is what the window has to treat you.

People living in the metros need to know that nature exists. It is mandatory to take a break once or twice every year to spend time in places like these.

Windmills are also catchy objects which can draw your attention when travelling.

The Road Route :

Many people have told me that the Chennai-Bangalore Highway is one of the best national highways in India. I realized the same when i witnessed it.

Couldn't cover the entire highway, but got a chance to travel upto around 60% of the total distance. What makes this highway so special, in comparison with the others is, the fact that we have a complete contrast of very big industries as well as agricultural fields. I found it so nice and congestion free that my concentration was more at clicking them through my eyes, rather than doing it with the help of a camera.

Observing sunset on a vacation like this gives you a great sense of sophistication. :-)

We get to take a look at one of the top companies of the world, having their factories/facilities in this highway. Sriperumbudur is certainly fit enough to become an upcoming Satellite City, and this highway definitely has ample infrastructure faciliteis to make sure that it becomes a reality.

Perfect ecological balance. :-)
