Travelling on a local train.

It was nearly when the train arrived,entire station was crowded,people with their boxes of tomatoes and bags of potatoes and cauliflower were all ready to launch themselves as soon as the train stops.When the train arrived there was a huge commotion.People doing everything to get inside it and everything to get out of it.They were kind of stuck.
                 When you enter in the compartment you will feel like being a king of somewhere,walking over the crunchy skin of peanuts making a crackling sound giving a pseudo feel of the arrival of 'Maharaja' of some whatever State.
                      Okay after all the bags,cycles,boxes and people are loaded the train moves.
Note:the train has to cover only a distance of one hour more from the express train's point of view.
But since it is a local train.
What you found inside, a lady all comfortable,stretched all over the seat and giving "who cares "kind of look to you.And next seat is all occupied by a dirty hankerchief as a symbol of prescence of some very special person from god-knows-where place.
           After you walk two compartments crossing everything the boxes big bags of veggies,glancing at a group of people playing cards,you will hear a loud sound coming from the one enthusiast of local folk songs blowing away everyones ears.
                                Train stops at every destination after travelling 15 minutes at one go.People cheering,their head popped out of the window hollering those who were running to catch the train.At a particular station the train was shunted for an hour.All the people went out to stretch themselves.In the open air they cursed about the behaviour of train,the speed on which it travels.They were about to discuss about its color when the train whistled.
The train moved.
Finally the tiresome journey ended after one and half hours of battle a lesson learnt-
Park your butt wherever space is available without considering the changing facial expressions of the fellow seat occupant.
