My Travelogue - train journey Part 1

 Off late have been travelling frequently in trains Hyd Pune Hyd...since am alone have nothing to entertain myself than watching the co passengers..various behaviours u come across...let me start from the platform where we keep waiting...few people will walk with strolleys n big suitcases..while walking they always think the entire escalator steps n platform is made available only for them n are not bothered of others....there are few who carry tiny local bags ..they give a stunning look as if only they have those big bags...then comes the coaches..few travel by AC ..few b second class ..depending upon the availability affordability urgency...today I was waiting at B5 where the co passengers waiting for S1 ..some one came asked about my coach ..I deliberately told S3 ..n he said ohhh..mine is AC...Though mine was the same ...he looked at me and went off...as soon  as we reach our coach...people  think as if they have owned the entire train and start behaving like owners of the coach and don't care for others...without thinking of others they start dumping their baggage beneath the berth on the berth wherever possible...moreover the person who is on the lower birth thinks he only has all the prevelages n others are travelling free without ticket....the bags packed nicely gets opened haphazardly and they take out the food boxes a if they are hungry for decades..irrespective of whether the timing is appropriate for having the food...moreover they will buy whatever comes and soon  the train turns out to be mela...fun fair...then comes the sleeping arrangements ...they will drag the stuff n arrange as if it's only first time they are sleeping and arrange it as if it's their bed room....then some fanatics go and get changed with some special clothes and will show off their attire to everyone..rather exhibit themselves.....these days you have lot of gadgets to carry that's a style statement...here again exhibition happens..while am watching this

.a group of people crosses watching everyone and they walk through all coaches as if the railways have told them that you should watch n stare everybody otherwise you will not be allowed to get down......almost 90% are on mobiles looking serious as if they are working on a very crucial project n if they don't do it...overall country's economy of will slow down...few will open their tabs n laptops n make train an office.....after this..the lights are off the entire coach becomes a irritating music place where you get to listen the snoaring some in rhythm...n non rhythmic.....hard to sleep here....Rest in the next...
