Tunnels and
travels are a set of words that very well goes together or I would say they
know each other very well
I am not
quite sure what engineering knowledge that the tunnel miners used in the past
before or at the very beginning of all engineering revolutions
Tunnels miners;
I know that they should equipped with all the tools require to build a tunnel
I don’t
know how they dealt with those huge firm rocks in order to provide some space
for those who are very fond of journeying towards anywhere or to everywhere
through a tunnel
Who ever wants
to move ahead, passing a tunnel should come out of the tunnel to encounter some
light until then the person would not see any light or meet any other surrounding
Tunnel is
the period of darkness of ones traveling or journeying along their preferred paths
or that they have chosen to travel, towards their final destinations of aims
and objectives
I can
imagine tunneling was never easy especially during an era that the technology
or the engineering was not that improved or marveled the brains of innovators
In the past
building tunnels or tunneling were inevitable or unavoidable; people needed
paths and roads to travel towards their preferred destinations though before
they encounter the technology of ‘tunnels’ most the travelers had to use their
feet and travel through foot paths or gravel paths not all of them had owned
carts and carriers
For any
traveler clear modern roads are something that are very important which softens
the journeys of the travelers of now a days
I can’t
think of the miners who were using any ‘gal bore’ or dynamite at that time to find
the needed or required space to build a tunnel for any traveler who wishes to
proceed any further
Traveling along
ones preferred destination until they reach their aimed destination, one can
not complete within one or two days similarly clearing a path before starting any traveling is not easy or can not be done within a day or so
One may meet rocks that perhaps may block ones
paths but now a days any of such things not claimed as ‘barriers’ or bars that
slower ones journey because of the newest technology or knowledge of engineering
dynamiting is something very easy these days or there may other modern ways of
building paths without keeping any tunnels
But in the
past, the rocks stood before most the travelers or they were the barriers for
travelers who were trying their best to travel further in the paths of their
aims and objectives
Building a
tunnel was the only option that they saw
But now the
technology is improved no need to build any tunnels I guess along the travel
lanes of travelers
There are
various tunnels I am not talking about such tunnels
Some tunnels
allows the travelers to have safe travel those are passenger tunnels made
mostly in the midst of the big towns for walkers to walk here and there so
easily and safely
Some tunnels
I know they build for huge and various projects as they required depending on
the need of the projects
In the
past, the travelers needed a bit more time than today to travel further or
proceed ahead
Not only they
required a lot of time to complete their planned journeys but also had to face such
difficulties before they reach their targeted destinations
I know even
all the governors back then used no jets or personal helicopters to reach their
servants, poor or no developed technology barred those their travels
I am not
aware of time frames that the tunnel miners required to complete building a
tunnel, what equipments they used then what percentage of labour force they
needed those things too I am unaware of
In some of
those road buildings, the miners couldn’t completely destroy the rocks to build
a smooth road way, allowing the traveler to travel smoothly along the road ways
they like, without going through any tunnel of darkness that was how all was
set in the surroundings
In a way it
was good that they kept the tunnel heads for traveler to experience some
darkness in order to understand the difficulties of traveling or journeying
towards their preferred destinations, especially when the traveler is traveling
through a tunnel
We still
use the tunnels that old tunnel miners built in the past and that still allows the
modern or semi modern travelers like youngsters to experience some tunneling
and understand the importance of passing through every phase without detouring
or using any short cuts, without failing to face them
Try to face
any tunnel or darkness, that it self gives any traveler required strength to
live a life
I don’t
think that firmness is something that is useful or applicable anytime or every
time in any traveler’s life dealings
They may experience
darkness but soon they have the certainly of reaching light because all these
darkness or difficulties are not permanent
After every
phase of darkness there is a phase of light, inevitable
Journeys and
travels are like some travel phases are full of darkness, some might meet
unavoidable stations, meeting other paths; this too not strange at all or and
you always gets the chance to meet other travel partners who may heading
towards their preferred destinations
Any man or
a woman has the liberty to change their travel paths now than before in the
past
Why
There are
plenty of optional paths one can see if they prefer to travel along any of
those such paths that is thanks to the very modern technology
Take a
train for instance how many divided but connected with technology ‘space boxes’
available within, if you are to travel through a tunnel and if you have chosen
a path where you would meet some tunnels no point thinking of a space where you
can avoid the tunnel and proceed
In life travels
or journeys it is little difficult to avoid some tunnels but it is not
impossible one may have to change the path that they have chosen to travel
I think it
depends on the path you have chosen to travel. I don’t think that every path is
mapped or built with tunnels between stations. There are smooth paths that you
never encounter any tunnels the travelers now a days have the choices, many
choices I would say they can easily avoid tunnels and use an alternative path
Now the
youngsters and children have the opportunities to experience various paths depending
on their choices or preferences
Jets are an
easy and a faster mode of traveling than traveling through a tunnel on the
ground . When the traveler journeying through a tunnel travel time required meeting
the preferred or aimed destination is longer
There is a
difference between tunneling and jetting when it comes to traveling
Though one
will have to travel through a tunnel of darkness, the traveler may experience some
rhythm during the whole period of journey
So during
these tunneling, perhaps, the traveler gets opportunities to understand the
difference between darkness and light. Firstly the traveler needs to understand
that there are two elements called darkness and light in ones life
Then only
the traveler can easily study the two elements of life above mentioned in a broader
way
When you
are jetting you get less chances to experience various things of life and you
can’t get a wider picture of your
surroundings
Why
This jetting
will fasten your journey allowing you to complete your travel within a shorter
period of time that too is a result of a modern technology( not applicable to everything though)
These sometimes
lengthening the distance between men and women of this earth
You experience
no traffic when you are jetting but when you are walking or taking other
alternative travel strategies that would slower your walk or drive. When you
are no jetting, think for a minute, during these small, small stoppages at
traffic lights or busy passenger ways you get plenty of chances to meet at
least a single man or a woman or other pedestrians, a day and exchange a smile share a few words,
no matter even if you don’t know them or have met them before or have talked for
hours earlier
It is
refreshing to meet unknowns sometimes and share few words at least, during on
and off of ones journeying
There are
evidences that during these traveling through tunnels, people have lost their valuables
Why, reason
is darkness
During these
dark phases of ones life it is easy for thieves to steal the things, valuables
of others
Those are
the features of darkness, only no comfort or less comfort one can imagine and plenty
of difficulties are possible
During
these your tunneling you may not see others or the surrounding very clearly
unless you travel well prepared taking some equipment to have some light
During these
your dark phase or tunneling you may not see others but others may very well
see you there is that difference and possibilities too
What if you
have to face some fuel loses, difficulties in wheeling, unexpected or sudden
stoppages exactly at the point of tunneling, you need to be prepared for such occasions
during any of your journeys
Sometimes during
these tunnels of darkness you get less out side help or you may get more than
you expect but preparedness is essential
Just look
back or look at the people who sits before you or who is seating next to you,
around you, perhaps you might think that it is only you who travels passing
these tunnels of life those who are on the same train with you, those who
traveled before you and they, me, and the travelers who are traveling through
these tunnels at present or right now they too may experience the same
Darkness is
not something that is specific to certain or specific to set of men or women
who live in this earth. Experiencing certain
period of darkness during any traveling one may have experience sometimes is
inevitable. Traveling through any phase of tunnel depends on the length of the
tunnel that the travelers are traveling through
Some tunnels
are not very lengthy so one does not have to stay in the darkness for very long
but only for few minutes or so
I am not
aware of the tallest or the lengthiest tunnel of this universe that are very
rich in all modern high ways
Some tunnels
I know are full of all modern facilities but not here though, those are
different tunnels than the tunnels that we have here made by some time ago by
our people, using their labour but under commandments and technology of the
different nations
And these days’
travelers have resting places very modern and comfy only thing that the traveler
need today is some more money in their wallets or a credit card that has not
expired or invalid during their traveling period or during their journeys. Those
days the travelers only had ‘ambalam’ the beggar’s rest places some would
define it but travelers resting place just to rest for few hours or more than
hours and a pin thaliya or pan thaliya ( the water stored pots) along the path for
travelers to aid their thirst during their tiring traveling until they reach their gama or nuwara
I don’t think
that we need to build the darkest or lengthiest tunnel of the universe here in
our country what we need is to move ahead facing all the challenges and
threatens of outsiders – that sometimes shows no sense or use or very poor in
arguments and proceed
We all of
us can proceed avoiding the tunnels of darkness and stay happy and live
healthily !
take care !
