Nothing enchants more than a view of the sunset. The visual treat only doubles when you get a riverview sunset while on train. It's the river Godavari in all its beauty ...Godavari that is so integral to the cultural ethos of Andhra Pradesh. This picture I clicked on Christmas day when I was on the train from West coast to East coast, through the air-conditioned window, which is why there is so much blue to it! For a start, I did not know such a train that touches the two coasts exists, until we made this trip - my husband and I, for thanksgiving. Konark Express moves from Mumbai to Vishakapatnam and then turns up north to reach Bhubaneshwar...one of the longest journeys I have done! We clocked over 30 hours when we got off at Vishakapatnam. Sigh! But if you are an urban worm tired of the greys and browns around you, such journeys are a blessing.
