While travelling back from Kolkata to Bangalore on the Howrah Yeshwantpur express yesterday , I noticed two interesting features:
One, the AC 3 tier new coaches had a minimalist look, a hybrid toilet, Picasso meets Bihari carpenter -- how the toilet manages to flush down anything is a Newtonian mystery,and there were no pegs for clothes--as if someone expected only gamcha crowd to travel by ac3tier,since the original AC crowd was anyway travelling Air Deccan.
Second, the fire warning, composed by a zealous babu, who had bureaucratese phrases upto his gills, was a rib tickler:
It goes like this --If there is a fire, please contact the cabin attendant (what if he is not there, do we shout, kahaan ho re babua?) --next, if hammer is provided, please break glass to obtain hammer; and then use hammer to break open glass window and jump out of train ( whether from running train , is not specified) and there was much more but I wasnt able to write it down .

I don't the trust the Indians !!!
But I trust the Indian Rail Ways, AlWays !!
Stan, the Bihari Carpenter must have been instructed
" Yahan pey teen PEG Maro ! "
The obedient Bihari Carpenter must have gone to Basanti's Dhaba and said "Rum De Basanti" and carried out orders !
