A Quote by Anil Kumble

You walk down the tracks and you're walking every two tracks, and you've got your headphones on, and on both sides you've got forest, and in your rear is this long line of train tracks that's weaving through the woods. It's a very cool place, to walk along the train tracks because of the rhythm of walking every few feet through the woods. It's a good place to go dream.
'State' can be a word that is a noun or a verb or an adverb - it's kind of why I chose that title.
