Childhood Memory.

My Favorite Childhood Memory.

My first train journey in my childhood ever was a kandy. I think I was about five years old.We were traveling from kotuwa station by Kandy. It being my first train journey, I was filled with curiosity and excitement. I went the window seat and kept looking out most of the time. The sights fascinated me. 

The trees, the hills, the fields - everything seemed to be rushing past me, and disappearing equally fast. When another train would pass by, our train seemed to stand still for a while, and would even seem to go backwards! All these things baffled me.

It had rained that morning, and water drops were still dripping from the leaves of trees. The fields and the hills were covered in carpets of green. Suddenly we were plunged into darkness. Thankfully, the lights in the compartment were on Father explained that our train was passing through a tunnel. This was a new experience for me, and I was thrilled.

 We passed through more than twenty such tunnels. As the train wound its way through the hills, I saw foaming waterfalls and sparkling streams.
 It was indeed a magnificent spectacle. looked like a heaven on earth. looked like a heaven on earth of the fresh   in the sun.I watched in awe and wonder as the train, we were on the flat land again. It was almost 11 a.m. when we reached Kandy. I didn't feel like getting out. I was almost in a hypnotized state of mind. This first train journey was one I would never forget.
