Gitanjali

The Gitanjali Express departs from Mumbai CST right on the stroke of sun up. Yet, walking into the station, there will be no bleary eyes on my face despite the fact that I will not have slept very well the previous night. How can one sleep well when there is a train journey to embark on in the morning? I will be tossing and turning in my bed, all the while drawing imaginary pictures of the events that are soon to unfold. The chain of thought will go something like this.

Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus in all its grandeur will first blow me away. I will wonder what Queen Victoria herself thought of it. Before walking in, I will also take a moment to think of all the wonderful station buildings that came of the British Raj.

Next, I will perhaps catch a glimpse of the inbound Thane local. A moment or two here to ponder over how in all the worlds greatest cities , there is always a railway that keeps them moving. London, New York, Mumbai are all of the same brethren. Knowing that this is certainly not the last I’ve seen of the locals for the morning, I will head off in search of the Gitanjali.

I will find her and my heart will flutter in the manner of a hopeless romantic. 30 hours in her company, all the way to Howrah.  As ever, I will be well and truly gripped by the Mumbai departure. With great excitement I will watch the local stations whiz by as blurs of office goers and local trains. I will try to remember all the station names. Masjid, Sandhurst Road, Byculla. Parel next? No Currey Road and then Parel. Dadar followed by Matunga, Sion and Kurla.

I will experience also, one of the thrills that is unique to Mumbai. The 6 abreast railway lines and the local trains that attempt to race you all the way out to the far flung edges of the city. Kalyan Junction, where we will veer onto the Igatpuri line. Then I will be beheld by the drop dead gorgeous views of the Thull ghat crossing, perhaps over breakfast from the pantry. A thought about how there are very few activities better than watching the world go by from the window of a train, will cross my mind. If I am attentive enough I will notice the Mumbai bound Imperial Mail cross us.

Igatpuri used to herald a loco change but not any more. Nashik Road and Manmad Junction after which the Gitanjali will thunder past Chalisgaon Junction and then Pachora, haughtily ignoring both. Pachora and its platforms will probably remind me of one Bharath Moro’s story of how he along with his father went to photograph this very train as it rocketed by at a 100 odd clicks. Maybe then, I will also, think of my own trips to railway stations as a boy.

Jalgaon and then Bhusaval Junction where I will keep my eyes open for the southbound Karnataka Express. Perhaps also our pairing train. The pantry car will be ready with lunch by this time. The ensuing run to Akola and then onwards to Badnera will remind me of one fateful evening when I covered this section for the first time on the Bangalore Rajdhani of all trains. Akola will also remind me of the most delightful journey I did years ago on a 1989 sleeper coach on the meter gauge passenger to Indore. The Gitanjali meanwhile will have passed Wardha Junction and reached Nagpur.  

I will watch the Wardha to Nagpur run from the door. In memory of a certain friend that once was, I will grab a piping hot cuppa and gaze out of the door at the setting sun. Ngapur will not pass without remembrance of the narrow guage line, the diamond crossing and also of one evening when my father and I on our way to Akola managed to secure reserved tickets across the counter less than 2 hours before the departure of the train. All thanks to the lazy folks at Nagpur who hadn’t prepared the charts.

Onwards into Gondia, perhaps crossing the Bilaspur Rajdhani on the way. Then further to Rajnandgaon and Durg. We might run into the Howrah-Mumbai Duronto somewhere on this section. The number of important stations this Duronto skips, it is almost outrageous! I will head to the door for some late night star gazing as we pass through the sides of a triangle to take in Raipur. Star gazing from train doors is an experience that holds super powers. Just standing there, letting the mind wander and the wind mess up my hair. And I like talking to the moon, telling it my secrets. If I’m feeling crazy enough maybe I will stay at the door all the way till Bilaspur.

I will then turn in for the night. As for the Gitanjali, she is far from finished. She will march on steadily towards Champa, past the Jindal steel plant and then Raigarh. The undulating plateaus of coal by the tracks and the collieries themselves will be lost in the darkness. Also in the darkness another pairing Gitanjali will blast past us.

Jharsuguda and then Rourkela. Despite the fact that I’d have stayed up past midnight I’ll probably be awake by this time. The Oriya announcements are not to be missed for they always elicit a chuckle or two. “Yatri gana kripya kora dhyana dayantu.” Maybe I will spot the Alleppey-Bokaro slip train here. A dear friend of mine and fellow rail enthusiast used to frequent this super crawler as a matter of choice.

We will cross from Orissa into Jharkhand on our way to Chakradharpur. State number 4 since leaving Mumbai. The lush vegetation of the Saranda forests won’t go unnoticed. Next will be Sini Junction after which, another triangle. Sini, Kandra and Gamharia. We will ignore Kandra Junction and proceed along the base of the triangle this time. Meanwhile I will have a very important decision to make. Bread omelette or cutlets for breakfast. Tatanagar to Kharagpur rumbling over the Subarnarekha on the way.

Kharagpur Junction will remind me of the time I once spent the wee hours of the night waiting for the Howrah-Madras mail to turn up. The long platforms meant that I got plenty of exercise. Walking up and down them was the only way of passing the time that night. The line towards Bhubhaneshwar and further into Andhra will surely remind me of home.

At Panskura Junction I will note the line branching off towards Haldia as the Gitanjali sails through on the final home stretch to Howrah. She will be keen to impress before I say goodbye. Santragachi, Tikiapara and Howrah, right on the stroke of lunch. At this point it will strike me that I’ve just travelled between two of the magnificent termini both built by the British. Both, more than a century old. And as for the train, it too bears the name that is just as old.

This is a journey I really must make in the not too distant future.
