Thanks Mayka for agreeing with me that life is like a train journey and we get to meet different people during our journey. It is true that some of us remain with us for a long long time, others just disembark, when there station comes. I am full agreement with you that we take this journey only once and the stations which we cross or the tracks we cross, do not come again in our lives, therefore, we should enjoy each moment of our lives. Many thanks again for highlighting that we have been good friends here and will always be.

Hi Mimpi!

You are right the in our journey sometimes we keep meeting some of the passengers who board the train again. Journey here on mylot is something extra ordinary and unparalled and I wish it should continue for eternity. Many thanks for touching an old discussion of mine.

Hi Hatley! Yeah, you said rightly that old friends disembark and new friends take their place. We keep sharing our joys and sorrows with our co-passengers. I understand that you have been one of oldest passengers here on mylot journey.

I think at the next station, you should get down and get me something to eat, drink, and read. :) I saw another baby face! Absolutely divine! She is now my friend. :)

Kala! You are most welcome! I will do the same for you, in case you needed to be served tea/coffee with some snacks, I'll be the first person to do so for you. :-)

OK! I will get down at the next station and will get you some snacks and cold drink or tea/coffee. BTW, I keep some stuff with me and I will offer you, as you are my co-passenger in this beautiful journey., in case the train does not stop at the next station or stop briefly or any vendor is not available.

I agree 'understanding' is very important, when you discuss with your friend/members here.

I agree that life is train journey and we meet a huge number of people and then go our way even after they have left the scene. But, this being a small world these same people cross our lives some time or the other .THey happen to board the same train and we accidentally meet them in a teastall most unexpectedly.WHile we are always in touch with some people , there are others who are never to be seen.Take for example, our school friends, our college friends--but there are few with whom we keep in touch or renew our touch due to fortuitous circumstances. Similarly, in my lot I have also made some friends ; but I do feel that we can always keep in touch at least through net. THese are not necessarily fellow passengers who would deboard the train permanently but they would hop on to it or peep from somewhere at some point in time.THis is especially possible when we exchange our mail IDS ; we can always keep in touch through mails.However, the friendship has to intensify and develop . Even with our close kith and kin we have a 'Hi' "Bye" relationship many times. I do agree that this life is a train journey but as I had pointed out earlier, the same passengers board the train some time again too.As for people who are with us I too wish they are always on the train with me till the end of my life. Let it go on!!!!!

Hi Kala! Thanks for agreeing with me and I liked your point that some of the co-passenger disembark to meet us again at some other station and when we see them, we feel delighted to be in their company again. I would also like that my co-passenger should not de-board the train and be with us as long as they can.

Hi deepak, Then where is the coffee man?

It is time for coffee and he is not seen anywhere

. Reading the comparison with train journey I remember about my younger son’s activity. After reaching back in Delhi he was busy with selling tea/coffee/snacks etc in train. On getting up from bed his first duty was serving the passengers…. Now he stopped that habit.. he might get bored with the same…

Life is a journey indeed and we can imagine or compare it with any mode of transport.

Dear, You are absolutely correct! Life is just like a journey in the train where we see people boarding and embark at different stations at a different point of time. I received this email on ' Our Life like the Journey in A Train '. It is awesome the way the writer put it. I remembered when I first joined myLot (the train) and meet many people here. The sat with me along the journey and we have long chat along the way. At some point, they told me they are leaving at the next station. As the train go on, they are other boarding and sat besides us and we chat on many other interesting topics. In between the journey I take a nap and now I am back and continue our journey looking at the window and have some chat again

Thanks for agreeing with me Iriene and travelling with me as my co-passenger. It is very true that some of us take a break or disembark at a station and then again board the train of mylot, as per our convenience.

Very true, dpk! Most of this myLot train ride is smooth, but at times it can be bumpy. I think the myLot admin has been good to keep the tracks clear and have repaired it when needed. But regardless, the train is always trying to get somewhere . . . a journey for all of us who are fortunate to have a ticket for this ride indeed!

@dpk262006 (58678)

Yeah, much2say, mylot admin. take care of the distorted track during the train journey and they set it right. Indeed, we are lucky to ride this train and enjoy the journey, as we have been allowed to buy its precious ticket.

Hi Deepak. Well sweetie, as we are all on this train, i don't think any of us would like to get off. It's a awesome way to put this.

Hope we get some snacks as well, you know. TATA.

You are very right Saphrina that none of us would like to get off, as long as we can continue our journey here, without any hassles. I would arrange snacks and beverages for you during our journey.

Thanks ellie for appreciating my topic of discussion. It is so true that many old passengers have alighted from the train (here on mylot) and they have been replaced by new, though the new ones cannot be similar to the old ones. Huggles. Deepak

That is a great analogy Deepak! I like it...I’ve been riding this fabulous train for a couple of years and you know, I don’t recall my life without it; I feel as though I’ve been on this journey forever and I mean this in a really good way. Finding MyLot has been life changing for me and I will never regret joining and enriching my life! May this ride go on and on....

I would say that life is either a daring adventure or nothing so in this adventure we meet many people like you said people in the train and they come and go, they give something bad or good and they take something again bad or good from us, so we are as if everytime on the move to meet people or to experience something.

Hi med! You are very correct that in the journey of our life, we meet so many people and some of them share their experiences and personal belongings with us and many of them take away our thoughts and belongings. Many thanks for joining me in this journey. Deepak

hello dpk, You are right,it is like a train or bus with passengers who boards and leave the journey. For many reasons some stop midway and we missed them. I had few friends here in mylot whom i missed each time i come online. But,we cannot make them stay for they got some reasons to leave indefinitely. I feel sad when old friends gone,but this is the journey of life. Have a wonderful weekend ahead

@dpk262006 (58678)

• Delhi, India

30 Jul 10

Yeah, you are very right that like a train journey, we get to miss many old friends here, who have either alighted from the train or have disappeared in some other compartment of the train.

We have been co-passenger for long and hope our journey will continue like this.

You should see "The Darjeeling" with Adam Brody starring. That movie totally tells all about the subject. It's about three brothers coming together for a visit to their mom. There's a scene where the train get's in the wrong way which is a nice touch to scenario.
