Hi Folks,
Its been a long time to talk with you and share my any unusual experience with life.
So Here I am with another post to share my recent travelling experience by Indian Railways...
Well , I often get chance to go out with my family on a vacation and
recently I went to my relative's place by train after 6 long years and that quite made me nostalgic.
You will feel lot of difference travelling by train instead of Plane.
In Airport , we used to face a Clean (Cleaners are good and getting paid well) , Sophisticated (High profile people) and Touchy(due to touch screens) kind of environment.
While in typical Indian Railway Station we used to face a very warm (No AC, no proper Fans, No vacant seats) , Dusty (smoke here and there) and Spicy ( lot of samosas,pakodas stalls) kind of environment.
So the people travelling in both means of transport also differs,
In Airport you will find some kind of Stary ( people who just stares you but not say a single "Hi" or smile at you), some kind of Delicate( people who can't hold a single Bag and need a trolley or a person for that),
some kind of uneducated ( people who are not so good in mathematics and will give 1000 bucks for a 100 bucks thing), some kind of lonely stoned (people who pass their time in reading newspapers or novels instead of spendling time with their near ones)
etc . etc.
While in Railway station , you will find other kind of indian species.. some kind of weight lifters(who can carry 4 Bags , 2 suitcases and a one tiny little water bottle without dropping a single drop),
some kind of fashionable (who can carry above stuff still maintain to look good) , some kind of friendly (who love to talk to any stranger in such a loud voice that even other strangers will also join them specially if it is related to Cricket or Politics),
Some kind of talented people(who can bear dust,smoke,shit ,smell etc lying on stations or trains) etc etc
Well, my 3 hours journey by Plane gave me a sleepy mood, vomiting sensation, bored perspective and a little bit headache but my 6 hours journey by Train gave me
some interesting points and freedom to do stupid things which I would like to share now :
So while travelling by train , you can do following things to pass ypur time during journey and nobody will throw you out...
1) You can share lot of stories in train with the person sitting next to you even he/she is sleeping.
A Good listener and a good speaker both will be warmly welcomed.
2)You can listen your old MP3 songs and pretend to get asleep or you can wait to listen a remix version of your songs free of cost by bunch of people usually come once in 2 hours in train.
3) You can stare any good or bad looking Guy or Girl and wait for any type of Hint from other side and
If you are doing a long journey, then you will get enough time to play your cards and get his/her number if you are lucky enough.
4)You can play with any kid (mostly there will be lot in your compartment) who will not cry until you ask for his favourite chips.
5)You can start your friendly Matrimonial side business too, people are so interested to hook up 2 idiots.. So do have a list of all your single Cousins or Cousin's cousins.
6)You can read magazine , books and pretend to be a Book worm type until you get distractions from Chanaa - moongfalli Chat sellers.
7) You can actually "THINK" about your past , imagine dreamy future or all other stupid things you wanna do after completing your journey.
8)You can take a small walk also from your seat to dirty toilet and from dirty toilet to your seat while taking a glance of girls/guys/Aunties/Uncles you might wanna talk or not to talk.
9)You can gossip and can say any crazy stupid thing and I can assure you that no one will throw you out and may be join you instead.
10) You can stretch on empty seats and be like owner of Train and let people smell your dirty sweaty socks.
11) Or last you can "Write" like me on a half teared small piece of paper while sitting on a corner seat and let people assume you as a Crazy moron writer.
So here are the 10 Best things you can do in train and proud for being an INDIAN.
Cheers !!
