There are many things absolutely magnetic about train journeys but probably the single most aspect that stands out is access - access to people, their emotions, their interpersonal equations layered between their imperfections - sometimes even in a bit pervasive way.
This photo of this young impoverished couple and their young child was taken in one of my journeys as they travel in a higher class compartment on a general ticket. Quite to my chagrin the man requested me to grant access for his wife and child to sit instead of the floor and I obliged.
Soon, as they settled in, I was to discover a plethora of human emotions running in front of me like a kaleidoscope with me on a front row seat.
