Future Safe?
It was yet another train journey for me from home to bangalore., when i got to witness 2 intersting incidents..I was engrossed in an india today magazine,the most recent one tooo hard to put it down,probly wud make a gud archive to read in the future..It selected disparate fields and had asked the BIGS in respective ones,to comment on Indias future in next 30 yrs..Wot made it so compelling was that it had commented excerpts from the magz edition some 30 yrs bac n featured it next to a present article in the same field...It was quite funny to read , the then telecom minister in 1980's commenting that landlines are luxuries and can't be afforded for lower middle class.Now it is estimated that every single indian would have access to mobile phones with the present growth rate of telecom industry..I would love to go on n on abt the articles featured, but let me jus stop here n recommend it with 2 thumbs up sign to read the magz..
And now coming bac to the 2 incidents that i saw....As i was engrossed in the mag,one young chap turns up,shows a 50 Rs note to the person next to me (who had jus walked in to the bay from the restroom) and asks if it was his..And to my surprise, this guy refuses tat it was his..And to add on more, the other guy drops the note to the TTR n leaves...Am i dreaming??????? or was it that i happened to be surrounded by gud ppl yday?? Wotver be it..I felt like going out n give a JAPPI for tat guy..
Coming to the not so serene 2nd incident, A guy..who calls himself as an ex-police officer every 2 mins,boards the train n happily goes n lies down in a vacant berth w/o having a valid ticket.The same TTR (a young chap) who featured in my prev para, asks him to go to the unreserved compartment. And this is how the conversation goes after that...
ex-pol : Mein ex-police office hoon..
TTR : so?
ex-pol : 3 star cadre rank mein tha..
TTR : so wot? go to unreserved compartment..
ex-pol : (now realisng that it is not working as expected) Bolo kitna chahiyae...mujhe ek seat chahiyae,kitna bhi ho..
TTR : (taken back ) mind your words Mr..
ex-pol : Mujhe railways ke bare mein patha hai...bolo kitna chachiyae..
Now the TTR promptly summons the incharge Police and chuks him out of the compartment in the next station...
Hmph!!!! A few good men!!
