6 WAYS TO MAKE IT ALIVE OFF A SLEEPER COACH OF AN INDIAN TRAIN

Imagine yourself to be a person who has enjoyed the luxury of travelling in an A.C 3 tier Indian rail coach and has always had the company of a family member everytime you've traveled. Everytime.

Well I’m that guy.

So when unfortunate events conspire you to travel in a sleeper class, alone, things turn a little haywire. So, here’s a simple guide for you to take care of if you are faced with the same situation.

1. CARRY A BEDSHEET

Well when I saw a guy on my parallel berth sleeping half-naked  and rubbing his body on the seat you tend to realize that some things are better left unsaid. Carry a bedsheet.

2. HAND SANITIZER

You saw that coming, didn’t ya?

3. APPEAR TO BE POOR

I bet you look good in that awesome T-shirt and funky jeans. But if one of your hobbies isn’t getting robbed in a train then start dressing like a hobo. Yes you heard me right , although you don’t have to dress sooo poorly that the T.T is forced to kick you off the train but dressing a little below your standards ain’t  gonna hurt.

A classic example of a person looking forward getting mugged.

4. Learn to say ‘NO’

Over the period of 24 hours I had encountered numerous beggars some old women, some young with children on their laps,eunuch, some limbless folk and some young healthy kids too. It isn't bad to help the poor but if they’re coming straight off a conveyor belt you’ll have to consider Plan B, which is saying NO.

                                           

Yes precisely.

5. Gather Allies

When you’re faced with the possibility of being attacked along all the fronts it’s very likely that you will need allies and the point is to choose them wisely, some might become wonderful companions and others, uhh well heartless thugs in disguise waiting for an opportunity to slit your throat. Judge is all I ask.

STRANGER  - Would you like to be my friend?

ME              - Emm how about no?

6. Wear Earplugs

There are gonna be several crying babies on the train along with spirited elders trying to share their “funny”and "interesting" incidents with the whole compartment and beyond using their loudness as a lethal tool at nighttime.

A little unconventional but it’ll do
