An Indian train journey is a perfect mix of quirky, clingy and sometimes even loving travellers. We love our trains and we love our travels, but the love-hate relationship with the co-passengers is unmatchable. Read further and bring back the memories of each train ride you have ever taken:
Travel Light? What is that?
Ever heard of travelling light? No, this one hasn’t! This category of traveller generally travels in hordes with more baggage than a tele-serial bahu. You literally can’t find your way around the one who carries a lot of samaan.
Jugaad humare khoon mein hai!
Presenting “The Great Indian Jugaadist”! The one who boards the train without paying for a ticket and then “sets a deal” with the ticket collector. He is an impulsive traveller, sometimes even taking temporary shelter at the stations.
Kiska Bacha hai yeh?
“Caution: Kids at Play” should be a legitimate warning in Indian trains. We have all encountered motley bunches of rowdy kids who do just about anything to ruin your journey.
The Masaledar Passenger!
Ooh, there’s garlic in the air! Indians love their masalas but when we have to travel long distances with the aroma practically stuffed in our noses, we can’t help but despise the one who carries food and eats in the train.
Excuse me, please!
This one is a complete trouble-maker and won’t let you sit in peace, literally! He is the one who keeps going to the toilet every 10 seconds, pushing you to the verge of insanity.
So, have you come across any such train traveller? Share your experiences 😉
