Boarded
the early morning train
From
my place to reach another train
In
Kerala, the God’s own country
Nearing
the destination it started raining
Welcome
showers! Nice rousing reception !
Got
down at the destination
After
a five hour pleasant journey
The
first thing I did was to look around
My
eyes spotted the train in refreshing white
In
the far platform: Ah! Science Express!
All
my sleepiness and weariness
Were
gone giving way to the the mounting
Thrill
and curiosity to see the
Climate
Action special exhibits on board
the
compartments in air conditioned ambience
Dear
polar bears facing threats, the dreaded
dengue,
chicken guniya, malaria spreading,
agriculture,
water , forest all taking a beating
all
due to climate change, mitigation by
alternative
energies reducing emissions explained
School,
college students were in queue
Moved
along side by side with me
As
I went over around 16 compartments
Ah!
Science Express! The star of the station
For
all the three beautiful days of it’s camp
As
I stepped out of the express after meeting
The
manager of science express, donating my
Own
authored books as humble gift to the noble train
The
subsided rains came back in full force! Ah!
Monsoon
rain! The star of the day like Science Express!
