A two and a half days with a stranger

I was recently on a train from Jammu to Manglore (no it's not that I don't have 
enough money, but I like seeing places & meeting new people so I like trains.)
I had an old lady sitting on the seat opposite me, because I had booked two seats, 
I didn't have anyone sitting next to me and the passenger next to the old lady, 
was a young girl.

The old lady was in her 80s, she had a wrinkly face (obviously) but  could see she 
was good by heart. But she couldn't communicate much as she knew very little Hindi
and I did not know Tamil. However, the young girl knew English and so we chatted for
about two hours before minding our own businesses. However it was on the second day 
of the journey when I realized that the young girl was actually the grand-daughter 
of the lady.

However, seeing the vast cultural differences between the two, no common man no man 
except either a astrologer or God (or me{my observation skills are very good you see}
) would be able to tell this.But, the time has evolved and so should we, and I guess
judging the two based on their cultures wasn't right on my part.

So with this, I end my blog, farewell and see you next time.
