The train journey

Train journey in itself is fascinating. One can see all sorts of peculiar things . I myself have traveled through train during my college time. My greatest achievement has been surviving through the general compartments several times. Its nothing to be amazed about. Its quite common in college life. The cheapest and most entertaining means of transport.
You can smell pakoras,samosas and all kinds of fried items, sometimes chutney dripping over u, cold drink wala chai wala all trying to make business in the same tiny little compartment. Its amazing if u notice how much food can be consumed in so little time just because its all happening in train. The mere fact of their being in train justifies their eating all sorts of nonsense which otherwise they neither would see nor think bout.
How people survive the horrendous time and moments and actually enjoy them by adding fun elements they discover in those moments. The scenery outside, the faces of new ppl, the fact that they are on wheels ..... U can see ppl bored, children screaming, couples admiring, guys oogling, girls makin faces at others, oldies relaxing or very troubled ppl singing sellin stuff to make some money to eat a single meal. A real life's all stages woven into those few moments.
I ve heard ppl meet n make friends forever, couple fight n never meet again, all at and in same place ... A train.

Channing Tatum!!!! ooooh...

Well.. i saw 'step up' long back.. but couldn't forget the Charming, dashing Channing Tatum.. he is awesome.. u can keep reviewin the movie to see him dance..


Born in Cullman, a small city in Alabama, Tatum has one sister. He has French, Irish, and Native American ancestry.Tatum was athletic while growing up, playing American football, soccer, track, baseball, and performing martial arts, although he says that "girls were always [his] biggest distraction in school."(NO DOUBT ;))
Tatum has earned Martial Arts belts in both Kung Fu and Gor-Chor Kung Fu.(BEWARE,but cool...)
well i won't tell ya.. much but he has starred in movies like STEP UP,COACH CARTER, SHE'S THE MAN,STEP UP 2 THE STREETS,THE TRAP,STOP LOSS,WAR OF THE WORLD.
He has been dating Jenna Dewan since 2005 which is obviously sad!!

Well not to doubt In 2001, Tear Sheet magazine picked Tatum as one of the "50 Most Beautiful Faces."
