Event Description

Journeys. Why do we take them? To reach our destination or to find that destination within ourselves? Whether accidental or planned, journeys are often the start of change. And at the intersection of those changes, lie stories. Remember the different journeys we undertook - and the sights, the smells, the faces, and the memories from each of them? The joy of an argument with an unknown co-passenger, the haggling with the tea-vendor, that random stranger who smiled at you, that last big suitcase that refused to go in. Let’s step back to the simplicity of those journeys. These are four stories, across genres – humour, crime, satire, drama; all set in the backdrop of the train journeys and featuring characters whom you would have definitely met, and possibly forgotten. We welcome you to meet them once again.

The stories presented are:

· Future Unknown – Three women, all traveling to attend the same event but for different reasons. Uncertainties of the near future, they are forced to confront each other, and themselves.

· The Last Refuge – Two Friends, meeting after many years, embark on a train journey. They reach, metaphorically speak, at different destinations even as they confront the true depth of their friendship.

· When it Rained – Two young people, a station master and a lady, meet on the platform of a little station in a little town on a rain-drenched night. What transpires over coffee and conversations?

· The Trap Within - A story of different people finding and losing their identities, even as their lives intertwine.
