Time Travel in train travel
Friday, November 6, 2009
Though its been more than 4 years since i came to chennai for my college life,I havent travelled much by train.Only for t.nagar or srm or chennai central i was travelling by train. may be once or twice i would have gone to beach by train. But in for the last four months i am using train daily for my classes.Inspite of my dad's strong advice to take the first class pass, i took the second class pass to get the first hand feeling of what all this about. yeah This is something i felt every person should get at his or her life time. You can see so many different types of people, you can hear so many thoughts, sometimes so many different languages too. But some people attract your attention a lot.
There are certain people who will know to say only this "Yerangi yeru! yerangi yeru!"(Climb down and climb up). You can hear these people before the train's stop at each and every station. Some times you can even hear them saying when the train stopped half way between the station for signal. Crazy beggers!!!
There are certain people who will say "Ulla po ulla po"(go inside go inside). Once they get into the train they will start saying this. They will stop only when they realise that if the other people move a bit more, they will fall through the other opening in the train. If the people i mentioned before are crazy beggers, latter people are funny beggers!!!.
You can also see a gang of people coming together from a single station occupying the last seats of every compartment. one will start cracking the joke and the other will continue(If first one was a gud joke, second will be ok. third will be bad and it continues) For all these only they can laugh.They wont stop with jokes one will start singing making all of us feel that the "jokes were better".
Why these people attracted me? These are no ordinary people. They are the part of the journey. May be i can say funniest part.
