Train journey in itself is fascinating. One can see all sorts of peculiar things . I myself have traveled through train during my college time. My greatest achievement has been surviving through the general compartments several times. Its nothing to be amazed about. Its quite common in college life. The cheapest and most entertaining means of transport.
You can smell pakoras,samosas and all kinds of fried items, sometimes chutney dripping over u, cold drink wala chai wala all trying to make business in the same tiny little compartment. Its amazing if u notice how much food can be consumed in so little time just because its all happening in train. The mere fact of their being in train justifies their eating all sorts of nonsense which otherwise they neither would see nor think bout.
How people survive the horrendous time and moments and actually enjoy them by adding fun elements they discover in those moments. The scenery outside, the faces of new ppl, the fact that they are on wheels ..... U can see ppl bored, children screaming, couples admiring, guys oogling, girls makin faces at others, oldies relaxing or very troubled ppl singing sellin stuff to make some money to eat a single meal. A real life's all stages woven into those few moments.
I ve heard ppl meet n make friends forever, couple fight n never meet again, all at and in same place ... A train.
