7 Experiences Every Indian Has On A Train

Every Indian has travelled in a train at some point in their life. This train trip is not just like any ordinary journey. It comes with its unique experiences which we will be describing below. Here are the 7 things we all have experienced.

1.Chai Song

The familiar chant of “Chai-Coffee-Chai” is always associated with the Indian Railways. This has become their unofficial anthem. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari this song has remained universal. It shows that however diverse India maybe, chai always unites it.

2. The Railway Beat

The railway beat of “Ta-dak-ta-dak” has always kept us company on those sleepless nights in the train. It first sounds irritating but soon you get lost in its melody before long you stop noticing it.

3. The Crowd

Indian trains are the proof of India’s huge population. Indian trains are filled with people. You find people both in and on the train. When a train arrives into the station, this crowd moves like a swarm of bees descending on it.

4. The Seat Grab

We all have this experience of getting our seats taken by random strangers who refuse to move. We end up arguing with them but to no avail unless the T.C comes. We rarely get to sit in your own seat.

5. Noisy Neighbour

This person doesn’t stop talking. It doesn’t bother them if you’re interested or not they just love telling their story. The aunties are very much interested in your personal life and the uncles love giving their advice and opinion on every issue.

6. Wash room trouble

Words cant describe this problem. The words “Railway Washroom” fills every seasoned traveler with dread. You better not eat too much because the stakes are high.

7. Wrong Seat

There are times when we are at fault. We often end up in arguments only to realize that we are in the wrong seat. Although our ego doesn’t allow us to admit our mistake we do feel embarrassed.

17 Fierce Female Characters The Harry Potter Series Gave Us - Thank You, J.K. Rowling.

Harry Potter is a universe with endless possibilities of twists, turns and probabilities. Maybe that is the reason that there are so many fan-fics and theories that exist still, even after the last chapter closed on us, ending the saga. J.K. Rowling gave us a bevy of characters to remember, for good or bad, through the magical world that she created, and amongst them, today we are going to talk about a few. We bring to you some of the fiercest female characters from the series - you obviously know them all, but they need to be talked and written about. Here we go... 1. Hermione Granger She was not just the brightest witch of her age, but also the bravest one. At the tender age of eleven, when one doesn't even know how to fathom a situation, she chose her path wisely, stuck by her friends in their quest to finish off the evillest wizard of all times, and displayed an extraordinary knack for not just spell-casting, but logic, bravery and knowledge. 2. Bellatrix...

Editors Choice: 5 Must Read Books

We come across thousands of books in our life time, we turn innumerable pages. We live every line, every bit of the story. But there are a few books that leave a mark on our hearts. Here is the list of 5 such books that have helped me in every way possible and I hope they’ll help you as well: The Fault in our Stars. John Green. I bet all of us have heard about it. How love finds us when we least expect it to. This tragic story left me in tears and a sad smile on my face. It Talks about Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters and how they save each other from Cancer. John Green has succeeded in bringing the message to all the age groups that 'You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you .I like my choices. I hope you like yours.' Kafka On the Shore. Haruki Murakami. Some people are born with this unusual gift of binding people's mind and taking them into a world beyond their wildest imagination.

The Story Behind The National Pledge

Educationist Maria Montessori once said, "Early childhood education is the key to the betterment of society”. Our schooling heavily influences what we are in society today. We all remember our school days with much fondness, the memories of our friends and teachers bring us great joy. In all the memories we have of school, the morning assembly is often neglected. Irrespective of the school we studied in, there are two things that are common, the National Anthem and the National Pledge. We often ignore the importance and the story behind the latter. The people of Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh have a strong connection to it. The schools in the city of Visakhapatnam were the first to recite the National Pledge in the country. In 1962 renowned Telugu author P.V Subba Rao composed the pledge while he was working as the District Treasury Office at Visakhapatnam. He later submitted the pledge to the local minister at that time Tenneti Viswanadham, after whom the local Tennet...
