Who is responsible for the comfort of a traveller?

On 29Aug09, we decided to take the train to Bengaluru from Chennai.

The journey from Chennai to Bengaluru takes 6 hrs & 15 mts by a Super Fast train.

While we enjoy train journey going with our near & dear ones, well it turns into a nightmare when you find that the Indian Railway System surprises you with a Fan that is not working, or the Train Ticket Examiner who is supposed to check the tickets of every passenger does not do so especially that of travellers holding no reservation, but yet in a reserved compartment & causing inconvenience, stinking toilets.



A traveller has to plan ahead if he has to go to the toilet, especially if he is sitting in the mid portion of the compartment, or has to bear with contingencies throughout the journey
