* A lake, a river, a stream, a rivulet, a puddle - all of these have an edge, the edge of the water. The edge where the water shallows out and gently laps up to the land. I absolutely love to see the water's edge ending up in blades of grass. You know when there is grass cover on the edge of the lake, stream, puddle - and the water slowly tapers laterlly to meet that blade of grass. It is such a pleasing sight to the eyes. Especially when Sun rays make the water's edge glint. Brilliant.
whenever going in a train, please look out and you will find plenty of such 'water's edges'. I believe this sight is even better than the view of the mountains over the same lake, or the waves of the lake. I always intently watch these peripheral beauties than the actual water. Lovely. Try looking out for it.
* Saw this family caught at the railway station without a ticket. And obviously they cannot pay the steep fine. So what do they do. I dont know. I was utterly helpless. The fellow tried to save himself 200 bucks by not getting the train tickets and now has to end up paying nearly 1000 bucks as fine. 1000 rupees is huge for him. That was half a month's salary for him. The old woman, his mother, two kids and his wife - all looking like lost souls. And the ticket checker shouting obscenities at him and abusing the old woman for pleading with him. I dont know what to do. Am confused
