Travelling with my mother, we both occupied the lower berths for our overnight train journey to Amdavad. Two upper berths were occupied by two women travelling alone. Later that night a female railway police officer checked on them. I wasn’t sure why they did that; I thought these women might be known to them or someone important. Early morning, before the train arrived at its final destination, one male and one female officer showed up with a passenger list and checked only those two ladies: “Ma’am, aapko yatra mein koi takleef to nahi hui? Hum railway police se hain aur yeh sunishchit karna chahte hain mahila passengers feel safe travelling alone in the Indian Railway.”
I just want you to remember. That we live in a world where octopuses dream, otters have a favorite shell that they carry with them all their lives, cows have best friends, and bees have different "dialects" of dance depending on the region. Cats purr at a frequency that accelerates bone healing, the forest grows flowers first after a fire, and dolphins give each other names and respond to them. Penguins make proposals by giving each other the most beautiful pebble
@GabbbarSingh The frooti was always the best part ! It was an expensive splurge that parents allowed only on such hot days in a train journey. Very nice article @GabbbarSingh ! Brought memories of Blore to Mumbai journey which we took in a summer and truly helps build a character !
