Hoping to do something different I decided to take the longest train journey in India.Not only to know more about the nation but also take it up as a personal challenge .

I wanted to see how it worked myself, in this dynamic situation, how people interact with each other and adjust in their respective berths or bogies. It was all the more exciting because of the changing landscape as the train moved from one station to another. To be really honest by the second day as i was photographing inside the train ,many people got familiar with me.

" Let him photograph. He 's traveling all the way down "

And by the third day those who were left were united by the long enduring journey.For these three days people had to prepare,adapt and change accordingly to situations interacting with situations. There was a clear sensation of achievement  as we stepped out on the final platform . That was the day

From Jammu in Kashmir to Kanyakumari at southernmost tip of India, Himsagar express took seventy seven hours non stop to complete the trip. These are images ( photo essay )from the trip.
