Happy without reservations

My train reservations are becoming pointless affairs. There are always some last minute changes due to which I inevitably cancel my tickets. And then go unreserved.
Going unreserved is fun. You meet new people. There is a greater variety than the usually stiff upper lip dames and gentlemen in planes or higher classes. And the windows are open. Which is a big plus point as you get to see the countryside.
I have not been on this route for almost the past three years. And this possibly is my first unreserved journey to Northern Kerala.
Calicut is a beautiful city. However, my journeys to the place usually had unhappy endings. Hope it will be different this time.
