Years ago people used to travel through bullock cart as a means of transport to visit places. After Industrialization stream engines were developed for mass transport and private transport. Today based on our privilege and requirement we opt to travel by Car, Bus, Train and Airplane. In our professional and private life, we are indeed to take any of these modes to travel to reach out clients or customers or relatives and friends. The preference of opting the mode depends upon the size of wallet, budget, urgency.
Travelling by train is really worth. I remember my boss quotes whenever I meet, he ask me to express the feelings in connection with human touch and sense. The reason I feel is simple in the first class travelling we behave like strangers where as when we travel in sleeper class we connect with people and their sharing of sufferings and joy and this makes journey interesting. This ensures that we are not tired and we are moving ahead.
If one can make a close observation in the various modes of transport, we come across the following
I AC: They are more serious and never wish to greet or exchange notes. They treat themselves as privileged class passangers. They always keep the status quos. The compeartment is absolute silence and in their own world. They hesistate to talk and smile expect to their own family members or known group when travelling
IInd AC: Its compartment, they to feel they are nothing next to 1st class of travelling. Very few times there would be smile and exchange of greetings based on the theme of discussion. The helping nature is limited and any adjustment is a big hurdle
IIIrd AC / Sleeper Class: This is actually the journey breaker. Any introvert will be bullied to be an extrovert. The lifes happiness and sorrows are shared. Extended help is provided even without any request. The journey becomes more interesting and alive. The people become close and one forgets it’s just a journey. One can hear lot of advice on everything.
General Class: This is always overcrowded with many class of people and having different thoughts. Its always with noise. But if you suppose to travel and feel the experience its the aam admi. some times you need to be more careful about your belongings. Bottom-line
This reminds me
How strange it is, We wish to wear high brands but we feel most comfortable in pajayma pants.
We wish to sit in Taj & Marriot with elite people but we enjoy roadside tea with friends and with ppl we love.the most.
We wish to own big cars and go on long drives yet we talk our heart out only while walking down a long road.
We have 64GB iPods filled with songs but sometimes a song on the radio brings a smile that can't be compared
