A taste of India - Amberish Diwanji in IInd class.

Travellers in a second-class train compartment are down-to-earth, with little airs or pretensions. In such compartments exists a mini-India and a montage of middle-class values.

After many years, I travelled second class by train once again. It brought back memories of travelling during my college days... cooped up in cramped compartments, stinking loos, wonderful co-travellers, the Indian's bottomless patience... Every journey in a second-class sleeper is an unforgettable experience, further heightened when carried out around the Diwali vacation (when one half of India is travelling to meet the other half!).

Travelling by air and by India's much vaunted Rajdhani Express are frigid experiences. Air travellers invariably have an air of self-importance around them, "We're all busy people," or "Time is money," or "I am off to meet some very important industrialist/ politician/ crook..." are the expressions plastered on the faces at airports and inside the aircraft..........
