Indian Railways and Common Man


On Indian Railways
As you travel in the Indian railways, you tend to, realize and understand the diversity of India on one hand, and it also forces you to think and re-think we need to change. Ha! traveling in AC class was like a dream come true for a middle class, but the scenario has changed, now middle class can easily afford the same : so is it that India is shinning or Indian railways is shinning...some way or the other one is surely shining :) and lets hope its increases its sheen in the new government :).
But remorse remains the same...for what? the bedsheets, eeks if you are traveling sometimes you can easily identify from the hair whether the bedsheets given to you was used by the fairer sex..or the darker sex ;)
I hate that experience. Then comes the ever-smelling toilets, thanks to the railways you have a door in your compartment, cleansed and then again dirtied by the passengers, the story remains the same in the toilets. But its quite better than the sleepers. Then comes the story of daily passengers who think it to be their right to travel in AC's why not its their fundamental right if you are a employee of railways, or GRPS, they will ask you to shift please! as if you are in their seats, and its good if you are traveling with small kids who can create havoc, as they avoid those seats...:) and dear T.T. will come asking to show the ticket you are carrying but not theirs... oops! relatives na!
But still with all these Indian Railways is Indian Railways the best, way to travel, enjoying the scenic beauty and the feel of your own country.
Chai! Chai! Rampyari Chai!
Samoseyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
