Abki baar, Indian railways raises bar

 New benchmark is established by Indian Railways.They provide you with most adventurous life challenging travel experience of your life. Inspired from Man versus wild they have decided to give you such an experience not in open but in enclosed train compartment. Make your wills before you take a chance to travel as this may be your last one.

No complaint books, no one from railway officials to listen to you. You are all by your own in this wild enclosed jungle. Practice for months to hold your pee at least for 16 hours, as you might never be able to reach toilets.









You may be having a confirmed seat in first, second or third AC, but if you get a chance to sit on your designated seat then that is pure grace of God and not our railway's administrative system. Prepare your hearts strong enough to listen to life threatening warnings from the goons, who announce themselves as babas, yogis, sadhus or God men. Sadhavis (female sadhus) demonstrate a show of strong women power by their words and hands not even required. One can register with them to learn and announce the relationships with mother, sister and father.

Actually these are the special privileged class who don't need a ticket to travel in any compartment of the Indian railway. Why they don't need a ticket on their name? They get a free travel on "bhagwan k naam per " or "Allah k naam per". Now there is "Prabhu" in the railways so at least itna toh banta hai.

If out of courtesy or your heart melts at their pity condition and you may allow one to sit at one corner, they will shower you with all the love and announce you as your son and daughter. And such strong are the beliefs they will actually consider you as one. Getting down at some stop they will carry your luggage along with them so that you don't have to bear the load of carrying it yourself to your place.

I am sure you are not thinking of Railway police or TC? They were hiding in toilets and telling no we can't do anything, if you force them to do something of the nuance they will tell you " OK let me do something, I will call my senior" and then they will hide somewhere and challenge the adage "dhoodney se toh bhagwan bhi mil jaata hai". Some of the police men were themselves travelling without ticket blocking the way, and if you ask them to give way and be on side, they will flaunt their ID card and will say are on special duty. I am still trying to make sense of the special duty performed.

My travel experience with Indian Railways while travelling from Ujjain to New Delhi, train number 12415, date 22 may 2016. Happy travel in Indian railways.

So, now I have a question for you @sureshpprabhu also @RailMinIndia: All this nuisance going on namesake of god. Can a tax paying, law abiding Indian citizen vision of a secure and safe Indian railways? Will we get a chance to travel on our reserved seats? Your tenure is minuscule, I wish even if I get to see one in my life.
