Ever wondered what went on in a ladies’ first class compartment? Well let me enlighten those who dare to imagine… An assortment of ladies sprinkles the bogie… A lady takes out her mini prayer booklet and settles comfortably into her place, softly reciting to herself. I have often wondered how we ladies have the knack of applying make up (read lipstick and eye liner) in a moving train all the while managing to get the perfect line while defying the laws of motion when my travelling companion goes ahead and does exactly that!!
A young girl removes her foil wrapped cheese sandwich and after offering it to her companion starts nibbling on the same… A sweet elderly lady with a white flower tucked securely in her hair removes her reading glasses and proceeds to read today’s paper – how does she manage a neat sari everyday???
At the other corner a group of train buddies (yes we do have these!!) exchange tit bits of their life which revolve around the weird colleagues at work, a 3 year old daughter’s latest pranks or updates on their various family members who take the shape of faceless human beings. Oh yes and how can I ignore the ones giving sound advice to their travel companions about what to do and not to do in their relationship at the moment! There are a few like myself who have shut out the bustle by listening to music thru their headsets…
There are some familiar faces, some new faces as we race towards our destination, some who exchange a smile or two with each other and me.. An assortment and a fine mix of ladies is what you will find in the ladies compartment today morning…
And now it is time for me to stand near the door to await the tidal wave of women that will flood the compartment for the ride back to Churchgate…
