Indian Railways have a life of their own. You cannot escape the drama and the entertainment of Indian Railways. You haven’t really experienced the surrealism of India if you haven’t had a ride on the Indian railways. Love it or hate it, you just can’t ignore it!
The ride on an Indian Railway can be pretty unpleasant for some, but here we have some tips to enjoy Indian Railways to the fullest! Check ’em out…
1. Love thy Neighbor
The basic form of sacrifice you will have to do is your privacy, when on an Indian Railway. So the obvious thing you can do is be a little gentle to your neighbor. Ignore their quirks and you will be at ease. The best you can do is start up a conversation. Indians loving talking, and you never know you will have made a new friend in no time!
2. Munch on the variety of snacks
Indian Railway pantries aren’t exactly known for their food. They offer a limited menu. So food could be a deal breaker when you are on a long trip. Best thing to do is to munch on the local snacks. If you try out junk out, it isn’t going to be healthy per se but good enough. You always have the option to gorge on the bananas or similar fruits!
If you are lucky enough to have made friends with a Gujju Family, there won’t be a problem with food ever!!!
3. The power of music
Here is a great time to be alone with your darling music. Nobody will say a damn thing to you even if you are seen with your headphone throughout the journey. Nobody will dare bug you once they see you have your headphones on!
Ignore the choo-choo of the train and float in your music.
4. Read
Remember the feeling when you think, ‘Ah, it’s been ages since I have read a decent book! If only I would get a few hours by myself!’…This is THE time! Leave the trail of worries bugging you and drown yourself into a good read. There’s nothing better than a long train journey and a good book!
5. Camera
The one thing Indian Railway guarantees is a scenic view. Be it lush green fields, gorgeous waterfalls, solid Mountains, or a picturesque sunset… Make sure you have a good camera and awaken the photographer in you. Indian Trains will give you ample opportunities to capture a solid view.
6. Catch up on movies
There’s nothing better than a long train ride and your collection of movies. Just plug in your headphones and you are set! Catch on your missed out movies and your journey will be a delightful one!
7. Be open to new things
Indian Railways are a good source of entertainment. There’s nothing you won’t see here. Be it laughs or cries, anecdotes or gossip. With a billion people in the country, you can never be left out of the fun and the surrealism of the Indian railways.
