10 most irritating things in Indian Railways

Here are the 10 most irritating things in Indian Railway

1. Putting shoes on fan- Does it look like a shoes wardrobe. A fan, circle in shape with blades, keeping people cool and a wardrobe made for keeping clothes and shoes, I mean how does these two things looks similar. People will climb up to the upper birth, will open their shoes and will put it on the fan like this is the best place to keep shoes.

2. Making train a kitchen- Ok I can understand that some people are food maniac but there is a level for anything. Cutting onion, carrot, making salad, eating mango without any knife and plate, I mean why don’t you start a masterchef at train or you can bring your induction cooktop and just start cooking in the train. You will get fresh and homemade food at train doesn’t matter how others will suffer.

3. Asking to wake up from reserved seats- Ok let me explain.  I searched on net and found 100 seats available in Purshottam exp. I went to the ticket counter, filled the form , paid the money and got a reserved seat which will be valid till the destination arrival date. A reserved seat means reserved for the whole journey, doesn’t matter it’s day or night then why do most of the people will wake you up after night saying ‘Uth ja yaar din me bhi soyega kya’ and these people are WT(without ticket).

4.Chinese mobile and speakers- Although it is common at every place but the most irritating time is in train. I can understand that you have bought a product of china which is devouring the mobile market of national companies which is directly affecting the economy of our country and even after knowing that this product will not last longer than AAP, you have bought it in just 2,000 rupees with features like triple speakers, voice recognition, eye recognition, face recognition, motion sensor, projector, 3D, etc but still keep it to yourself. Keeping it in your pocket and playing it on the full volume irritates everyone.

5. Chart prepared with 1 Waiting List- Luck is not on your side and if this happens with you, you just feel like dying. Some experts in India can even calculate whether your seat will get confirmed or not by knowing the no. of waiting list and days left for journey, relying on which people pay for waiting list and keep checking the PNR status till the last date and then this happens.

6. Toilets- Most of the time I travel in train, I try to drink and eat as much less as I can, not because I don’t feel like eating. It is just because I don’t wanna even pass from the train toilets. Most of the people don’t flush it, will shit in all the places instead of the hole made in commode and it stinks like a rotten pile of pigs.

7.Let them pass- It happens with most of the trains. My train will stop at an unknown place and we will be waiting so that the other trains can pass. I mean why? They haven’t paid more for reaching their destination on time. I can understand if it is Rajdhani or Satabdi but in other cases it’s not good. At those moment, I just want to take a stick and stand in front of those trains and shout “YOU SHALL NOT PASS”

8. Food- They work hard to make it taste pathetic or it’s just their way? Pantry car of trains are the worst place to eat. They will charge like a 5 star and will serve foods not for humans.  I don’t have the problem with the money because I can understand that you are providing food at fast moving train with thousands of passengers but then you need to serve not even tasty but eatable food.

9.Middle birth- It’s just like a nightmare for everyone. Railway should fine everyone traveling without ticket with a fine of 10,000 rupees and whenever the person will reserve a ticket, he will not get anything else than the middle birth. I think then most of the people will start buying tickets. You can’t sleep, you can’t eat, you can’t rest. Your life is dependent on the person below you, on the lower birth.

10. Family and you alone- Most of the times when I travel alone, I have exchanged my seats just because a family is there. Once I exchanged three seats just because of families and when the TT came I explained to him “This is not my seat, the person on this seat exchanged it with my seat S2-33 which is also not my seat because that seat was exchanged by another one and so on’
