Taking a train journey

Taking a train journey

It is not quite often that one takes a train journey. If calculations have materialised in a way that a train journey has to be undertaken, there are ways to avoid whipping up a fury if the situation is discomforting. There have been occasions when you are about to board a train, the sight of the passengers in the vicinity and those distant trying to read the chart as many times as possible. Perhaps their association with chart-reading continues for the period the train has not departed.

The pasting of the chart on the train is itself an indicator that the train would proceed towards the final destination no matter how torn and twisted the chart comes to appear even before the journey has started. Chances are once in a million that the chart from the point of origination to point of destination remains unshackled from the plausible forces comprising passengers and those destined to be passengers but could not board. Chart details out the name of passengers, gender, age and the destination they would have to deboard failing which there would be enough ammunition to shovel them out. Here all forces real and imaginary come into play to shovel you around if the co-commuters reprimand and tte's command has not been followed and you continue with your rant.

As the train pulls inside the station to enable commuters and foreseeable commodities to board, some trains come with chart pasted and some postponing it seeing this act for which hands are not free to be wasted. Once chart has been pasted and the passengers determined to take their journey forward as their name and name of their successors are crystal clear, there are some roaming around to see if any of their followers and followers-turned-foes are in the same coach sporting different wear.The point of origination is the one where some passengers make rounds and rounds of the chart to read the fine print. Perhaps memorising the entire chart including the names, their gender, age and the proof through which their identity would be established is on top of their mind even though they desist to be topless for the entire duration of the journey. It is only when their companions prod them, they go shirtless and the fabric rounding them are underpants.

With the attempt to memorise the entire chart these illuminated passengers get down at every conceivable stops of the train and read the chart for umpteen times. Perhaps the failure of the chart to sketch out details like the status they are in; monthly income they dispense to get a new fling and the occupational hazards of holding to a turf that has rotating fears. Some read the chart to precisely find out the versatility of those who are far away in the coach or in other coach and who could be reached at appropriate moment. Perhaps the best bet is to try the option in the coach you have been sedated given the competition you would be facing in other coaches as your arrival is not awaited.
