I miss him badly. It has been more than a decade and half that I carried him and I don't know whether he remembers me or not.
I used to see him every year in the summer and we spend a great time travelling till MAS from VSKP.
I welcome him with a big smile and make him comfortable in the cabin. The electric loco travels fast without making any noise or smoke.
Warned...
more... by his mother not to peep outside the window as the summer heat can have a bad effect on the little boy.
I ensure that the sun is in the opposite direction so that this 12 year old boy gets shade and cool breeze.
Giving him the blessings of Lord SatyaNaranayana Swamy at annavaram(ANV), he slowly dozes of to sleep in his mothers lap.
As we enter KYM(Kadiyam), I wake him gently so that he can see the beautiful curve of the train and can have a delicious bite of Ripe Guavas.
I ensure to run on time so that before sunset, my boy can enjoy the mighty Godavari and help him to drop a coin and to see his face glowing happily.
