The Train

Found this on Facebook today. Such a beautiful expression of life and love. Some of you might not have had the chance to read Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay's 'Pather Panchali', or watch Satyajit Ray's brilliant on-screen adaptation 'The Apu Trilogy', but I'm sure your own experiences have taught you, in some way or the other, that life is all about letting go. We are all Apu, on our own little journeys through an endless time. And along the way, we will lose a sister (like Durga), a father, a mother, a friend, a lover, a spouse, a child. We will thank them for joining us on our journeys. We will remember them through bittersweet memories. But eventually we will let them go. Because we're all meant to be chasing our own trains. Never catching it.
