TRAIN SPECIES
The ladies first class compartment like any other public place is packed with multiple personalities. Eminent scientists to identify certain species found in train have done a great deal of research. Here’s a sneak peek into the report about the I class ladies compartment during peak hours about to be presented to our honourable railway minister.---
The Amma type: This species usually resembles a sack of potatoes. They occupy three quarters of the entire seat and keep on giving motherly looks to standing passengers. College students especially get a large share of their affection.
The Sleeping beauty type: This type gets in at the starting point and gets off at the last station. Throughout the journey they doze off at the window with occasional rhythmic movements of their neck. These are solitary creatures and do not care a damn about anyone else.
The Terminator type: A very dangerous species. Comes in groups of threes and fours. They initiate the “claim game.” They reserve seats for their clan and if some simple soul dares to sit on “their” seat, a barricade of expletives results. A good source of general knowledge.
The “I am Aishwarya” type: The legendry femme fatale. It is an extremely rare and attractive species. They are one of the main topics of gossip in the compartment. They never sleep and never talk to anyone else except their cell phones (which is usually a colour display with FM with camera- another hot topic of discussion)
The Chatterbox type: This is the commonest of the train species. They come in groups of twos and threes. Their topic of discussion is- “umes” and “deepes.” They keep on glancing at the “I am Aishwarya type” and burst into loud peals of laughter. They are the main source of noise pollution in the compartment.
The Great Samaritan type: Quite an affable species. They find seats for standing passengers without compromising their area.
But the research is not yet complete. They are discovering new species in which to place me, myself and Mansi. Till then ciao.
