My Rajdhani Journey!!

While the trip to Kolkata was spilled with high adrenaline, my return journey was as smooth as butter. ‘Bole toh makkhan’.

Travelling ‘First AC’ was an ambition that I nurtured but never made it before either for reason of time or simply no train operated with such facilities on that route.

This journey is worth it. You get your first class salutation and drinks (soft beverages)and space (I had an entire coupe for myself, since the other guy did not turn up).

They addressed me as ‘Sir’. From a corp. culture at NIIT where I call a person of my grand-father’s age by his name, this was pretty shocking. I began to realize the babu culture has not gone past in the Indian Railways. I felt uncomfortable.

At times, I even wondered whether am I worth it?

I understand me paying for the ticket. But what is the human value of service?

Guess I will just stop at that.
