A Railway Station Called Warora

A Random Railway Station: Warora I don’t think I have said it enough time that I love traveling by trains, it is by train travel one gets to see the Middle India or the real India.

Both me and the misses love to travel. she loves the five star way while i am the quintessential rough it out type. So typically it is the misses who gets to rough me up while we travel. Before I got married I use to travel alone or with my friends and we use to go to places like Pachmari, Manali etc. I also traveled and backpacked in Europe once in 1998 or 99 and was an ajooba for most of the people I met in Europe as they claimed they have not seen an Indian backpacker.
