The Free Style Writing Challenge

I was nominated by Prakash Hegade to attempt a free style writing challenge. It turned out to be as interesting and fun as it sounded. No wonder, I did it right after the nomination which is something I rarely do,especially if you have exams staring at your face!

So here are Rules I had to follow:

1. Open an MS Word document
2. Set a stop watch or your mobile to 5 minutes or 10 minutes whichever challenge you think you can beat.
3. You topic is at the foot of this post BUT DO NOT SCROLL DOWN TO SEE IT UNTIL YOU ARE READY WITH A TIMER.
4. Fill the word doc with as much words as you want. once you began writing do not stop even to turn.
5. Do not cheat by going back and correcting spellings and grammar with spell check in MS WORD (it is only meant for you to reflect on your own control of sensible thought flow and for you to reflect on your ability to write the right spelling and stick to grammar rules)
6. You may or may not pay attention to punctuation and capitals. However if you do, it would be best.
7. At the end of your post write down ‘No. Of words =_____’ so that we would have an idea of how much you can write within the time frame.
8. Do not forget to copy paste the entire passage on your blog post with a new Topic for your nominees and copy paste these rules with your nominations (at least 5 bloggers).

I WAS GIVEN THE TOPIC: “THE TRAIN JOURNEY”

Trains,whenever I think of them,my mind instantly goes to thepeaceful rocking of the sleeper seat and the rhythm that induces sleep!

Train journeys are fun , looking out the windows, reading books, enjoying some quality family time because now there wouldn’t be a TV or some office work  to distract you. I never forget the varied journeys where I made friends in a train, the  fun we had as kids! It used to be so easy to go over to the kid sitting on the seat in front of you and call them over to play. But sadly those friendships never lasted more than the journey itself.

Oh well, sitting in a train used to be quite interesting, but  the part to climb onto the third berth used to be even more scary and challenging. And then sleeping with a fear that what if I fall down from here?

Haha,being a child with innocvent thouyghts, away from problems and stress of adult life-it was awesome. But as a child, I did use to worry and keep a vigilant eye on the luggage we used to keep under the seats,secured by chain locks,especially at night,when everyone was snoring out loud. You never know!

Well,its been a while I travelled by trains or travelled anywhere far but it’s a ride to remember -always!
