Two Memorable Railway Journeys

I've two - one memorable for all the bad reasons, and one for all the good. First, I travelled from Madurai to Chennai in 2nd class unreserved overnight - it's memorable cause I remember all of it cause I got no sleep at all - spent the night with my knees tucked under my chin, thinking the guy next to me was staring at me. Turns out he had a glass eye and was fast asleep the whole time...and there was me wiggling my head and smiling at him the whole night.

Second, going from Varanasi to Delhi was my last train journey in India. I was chatting to a few students, and happened to mention that I was liking all the Bollywood music...within 5 minutes, the whole carriage was piled around me, singing all the hits just for me. The French guy next to me just said 'it would never happen in Europe'.......5 stars!
