2 years ago, it was during Holi time, We had to come from Delhi to Prayagraj, we were not getting reservation in  '  AC coach  ' in any train, I was compelled to book a reservation in a sleeper coach on a train going to Bihar, West Bengal  (  via Prayagraj  ) . I thought, it's okay, at least I got a reservation in sleeper  ,  I won't have to travel in general.  :-)  We reached the platform at  '  Nizamuddin Railway Station  ' (  Delhi  ) where the train was to arrive, There was already a huge crowd on the platform and as soon as the train arrived, there was a stampede to get into the train, many people even fell here and there!

They all had to be removed forcefully and had to be explained that, " Brother we have reservation in this seat, and you peop...

Often, we tend to lose our body parts in an accident, some kind of disease, or by birth. And, I lost both of my upper limbs in a train accident at the age of 19. Honestly, I really couldn’t recollect how this mishap occurred to me. But, I do remember one thing I was falling deep under the railway track of the running train. Speaking of feelings, It’s been eight years, I couldn’t be healed from the trauma. Initially, after my post-accident, I wasn’t familiar with the terms: “anxiety attack,” “depression,” “anger issues,” “restlessness,” “lethargy,” “loss of appetite,” “sleepless nights,” and “howling.” But, I was living the symptoms of every single term of mental health issues. Till now, I couldn’t stand in front of the mirror for a long time, the absence of the major parts made me incomplete, powerless, and underconfident. I have to go to my psychiatrist every two months and take medicines every day.

He was performing his duties on platform 5 of Barauni Junction, as the Lucknow-Barauni Express (No: 15204) arrived from Lucknow Junction. when he was attempting to open the coupling of the train. The train unexpectedly reversed, trapping him between the carriages. He was crushed by the moving engine and died on the spot. Technology has advanced so much in india, reached at Mars and planning for space station shortly. Still Indian railway workers are doing this risky works by involving man power. It is the himan errors but it reflects the failure of Indian government. Because Indian government failed to introduce technology here. Indian government should provide technology for risky works.

A year ago I was travelling from Kolkata to Bangalore for a summer internship. A week prior to my travel the unfortunate Balasore rail accident had occurred and the service was temporarily disrupted as the trains of that route were cancelled. This resulted in trains being overcrowded for the next few days. I had a reservation in the sleeper class and the journey spanned for two nights and a day. Sixteen hours into the journey, I had a verbal argument with an unreserved passenger who wanted me to lift my middle berth to accomodate him. I refused saying that it's not the sleeping hours and it'll be uncomfortable for people to sit in the lower berth. A few hours later I had to get down at Vijayawada station to use the toilet of another compartment because unreserved passengers in my compartment had blocked the way and they were not allowing others to use the toilets. At night when the train crossed Thirupati and most passengers were asleep, I saw two men lighting cigarettes. Now I...

As the train left Dadar station, this uncle entered the ladies compartment. His eyes were filled with tears and looked completely distressed. Usually women start shouting at any man if a man enters the ladies compartment, but he did not do that... All the women were looking at each other. That uncle was just looking out of the train window and crying. He was not trying to hide his tears at all. One of the women asked, "What happened?" He replied, “I admitted my wife to KEM and reported my daughter-in-law to Tata. She is in pain. Thinking about this, I am not feeling well since morning. But being the breadwinner of the family, I cannot tell this to anyone. I wanted to cry my heart out. So, I deliberately boarded the ladies compartment.” The women gave him water. Someone gave him chocolates. He brought himself to the women and said, "Men don't cry in our society. In fact, we shouldn't cry. OK? But, we have feelings too. I am really upset to see two women of my fami...
