Train Travel.

Train traveling in India is a beautiful experience. You meet people from various backgrounds, and it is really interesting how the stories unfold.

As a kid, the travel to my native place took us 2 days. So, it used to be really interesting on how we boarded as strangers, became companions and sometimes friends in this journey of 2 days.

A famous director (Imtiaz Ali) once said, if you want to know about India, travel in the second class compartment of their trains. I cannot agree more :)

There are over two thousand animal spices in the world, but only two or three dozens of them are domesticated. All the rest live in the wild nature, and are not domesticable. They are usually referred to wild animals. Wild animals are distinguished from the domestic ones by external appearance, behavior and feeding habits. But the key difference between them is their attitude to humans. Wild animals always see people as enemies rather than friends. Their fear for humans is genetic, and even if you manage to tame one of them, its joeys will not be born tamed.

В мире существует более двух тысяч видов животных, но только два или три десятка из них являются домашними. Все остальные обитают в естественной среде и не поддаются приручению. Их обычно относят к диким животным. Дикие животные отличаются от домашних внешним видом, поведением и пищевыми привычками. Но ключевое различие между ними – это отношение к человеку. Дикие животные всегда воспринимают людей скорее как врагов, а не как друзей. Страх перед человеком заложен у них генетически, и даже если вам удастся приручить одного из них, то его потомки не родятся ручными.
