Indian Railways: Always Having The Best Stories To Tell

Train journeys through India have always intrigued me. An entire day along any route regardless of direction and you can feel the whole India. From tranquil country lands to the sedative waste dumps you can experience everything. In addition, many travelers keep an eye on the indian railway train status to stay updated as they move through such diverse landscapes. You will also meet numerous interesting people along the way, who challenge the confusion in the Indian mind and its incomprehensibility — or more accurately, its absurdly confusing state!


I'm writing this while I fight to free myself away from a stunning panorama of open fields, beautifully adorned by a cluster of quiet, quaint hills in the background (near Mumbai) - something that is more amazing than the clear skies from an airplane's window.

Within a couple of seconds the scenery changes to an almost silent, quiet river, dotted with a few fishermen in their boats trying to get their regular dinner.


I was in awe as I realized that I have plenty more to see and experience within the next few hours, I will be able to walk along the renowned rail tracks that run through Kerala which is a place that's infamously unpopular to lure even the least interested person with its stunning beauty.

Train travel is the perfect place for people who like to wander around the windows, with a variety of sights, they are even more enjoyable for those who appreciate being around strangers and experience a new sensation of excitement. And, let's not forget the way these people - with the small conversations that lead to long and deep conversations - can help increase your knowledge and expand your perspective of the world around you.

However, the way that these conversations can change and evolve into a more confusing and confusing state for the participants, is the most fascinating part.

Interesting Conversations

In 100 of them, politics constitute 99.99 percent of the discussions in Indian trains, and there is the rare occasion of two people who think alike. The conversation always begins with a person (almost) accidently making a negative comment on the ideal politician of another, after which the discussion reaches the depths of discussion that makes you shake your head in disbelief.

This is precisely when senior Arnab Goswami is thrown into the discussion seemingly out of thin air trying to be the most dominant by puffing his cheeks and blowing his air out with every word he says. You realize that you're the only one who isn't swaying in a flurry or repeating "Yes" over and over, as other people do to ease his nerves. He only stops when he sees the arrival of a station. everyone else has the opportunity to be excused.

Interesting Food

If you're lucky and find yourself in the company of a small group of individuals who share only one thing in common—their willingness to speak and talk—then even an entire day's journey is nothing less than entertaining. Even if you’re not so lucky, you can still take pleasure in the constantly changing, intriguing food served directly to your seat, and many travelers use railmitra to explore meal options and services available on their route.


Start from Delhi and eat Samosas along with Rotis however you shortly you will be introduced to the first makeshift cultural establishment by eating Dhokla in Gujrat. Then, it changes into Garam Vada Pav as the main course when you travel to Maharashtra as well as Idli Sambhar located in Southern India.

One thing that makes this snack a hit is the red chilli that powers Cucumbers I'm guessing Indians are in a affection for these fruits. Although we get a feeling displeasure in the stomachs as well as regret, we cannot stop eating these delicious fruits.


The long, uninterrupted train rides are distinctive in their own way. They have (almost) everyone watching at each other. In this case, building a healthy bond with your fellow travelers - especially travelers who are on their own - is crucial to having happiness on your travel experience.

In addition that they will always offer you a chance to meet some the most pleasant people you've never thought existed in your life.


Train travel is something that I consider to add an immense value to my daily life and as a traveler due to their capacity to convey an air of authenticity regardless of the part of the nation the train traverses. Stories, adventures and all the good or bad moments are unforgettable and leave the traveler with nothing else other than to enjoy the whole journey.

However, as I walked here to provide this piece of writing an ideal finish and to appreciate it more, our train came to the quick stop on a rather unpleasant pile of garbage and gave me a sniff of a changing world, making every breath a struggle within itself.

But, it's the real India And I'm here to witness the whole thing!
