AC Effect

We all have traveled in Indian Railways a lot in its different coaches whether it is sleeper class, 3rd AC or 2nd AC etc. But have we ever noticed how a person behave in different manner while traveling in AC coach as compare to when the same person travels in sleeper coach. Personally I don't prefer traveling in AC coach when I am traveling alone. Reason?? Lots of are there.

English is the preferred language: I have seen people from small cities where if you even say "Left" or "Right" in place of its Hindi meanings, people get confused, speak in Hindi till they are waiting for the train on platform. Once they enter the coach, there preferred language becomes English. Not against with it but surprise to see the small time lag between switching. PJ: Bill gates should take inspiration for his Windows.

English books and magazine: Just an extension of English attitude. They read only English books, magazine, news paper. They give filthy looks to those who read something in Hindi.

People prefer to keep quite: Actually it's a reflection of metro culture. people does not know who are their neighbors. But the question is how the same people talk to the fellow passengers while traveling in sleeper class?

But there are similarities too in the behavior irrespective of the coach in which the person travels.

Dirty Attitude: One thing which is common among the people that they all put all of their efforts in making coach as dirty as possible. Weather it is chocolates wrapper, or leftovers of ground-nuts etc. People do not give even a single look to the mess they spread all over.

Lack of civic sense: People tend to travel with whole house holds they can keep. I've seen few families who travels with less luggage but the number is very high who travels in the ratio of at least 3 baggage per person.

No respect for rules and regulations: Smoking is legally not allowed at public places but thanks to our system no one seems to follow those rules. In fact they see all these rules as an attack to their personal freedom. Irrespective of the coach, irrespective of the people around when I see someone smoking in pulic place the only song comes to my mid is "Har fikr ko dhuwaein mein udata chala gaya".

I am the first attitude: Have you ever notice the people when they enter in any railway coach. As if there is first come first serve policy going on. Everybody has the reservation and thanks to Indian railway it always gives 2-5 mins more to enter than it's expected time on any platform. But still everyone always wants to rush it like there is a gold medal awaiting inside if they come first.

But I want to confess here that even with so many issues anyone face while traveling in train I like to travel by it. I really enjoy it and I believe most of us feel the same.
