[Reach out] Why chaotic? For example, a (confirmed) to get hold of tickets at the station you have to by a collection of Indian Mitkäufern potential, with the help of all limbs, to the ticket counter by fighting. If one adds to one of the lucky ones, and holding a piece of paper in his hand, which only has the same value of a napkin (Incidentally, a vital necessity in India utensil, when in the bathroom emphasizes cleanliness, as toilet paper in the "Indian Standard" bathroom completely can not be found.), one can then propose further to "ticket inspector". This one will question all the time by wandering dealers who want a turn on a month-long previously reserved tickets at exorbitant prices, and similar to the shark tank every minute of my country, names and well-being, harassed, literally.
is finally arrived at the inspector after meticulous examination of the document, questioning about sports preferences (of course I love cricket, India's national sport) and the obligatory question: "How do you like India" and a good dose of intuition finally my seat or Sleeping handwritten notes on the previously worthless piece of paper and I think the object of desire and happy in your hands. All this without the usual Bakschich
ads and announcements clear and clearly visible! Sometimes, but not enough ...
am After countless loops of announcements in Hindi I arrived on the right track, in the right direction and the right train and listen to the top of my Liegekoje stretched the usual hustle and bustle here.

The most striking impression left by the Chai Wala, because not only is he even from afar off, with his bloodcurdling soprano voice - which warbles "Chai Chai Coffeeeeeeeee" audible, but also sells the national drink of northern India.
Pani-Water, juice, Fanta
And again, fruit!
trains are indeed disinfected regularly, just unfortunately happens every 6 months, so a "Putzwala" is necessary for a few rupees.
But the fun has just begun, because who could not get used to the Chai, now has the choice at the next Wala, the "Pani - Water" by the course calls and when, unfortunately, its appeal barker has apparently failed. Closely followed by the sandwich, samosa, newspapers, trading cards Wala. But who thinks that at some point should be an end, has fundamentally wrong. For as soon as the Walas have reached the end of the train, turn it around and the happy bustle begins again.
Now and then you have the chance, a gay man as a woman "dressed" to marvel at. Marvel is because all the other Indians suddenly glass "freeze" and can touch and show absolutely no facial expressions. Despite only recent legalization of homosexuality [section 377], which is no longer the simple homosexuals punishable, the Indians in the widespread adoption are still a lot to catch up.
come gradually, but all the happy Owner of a sleeping place to rest, the lights go out and for us is coming off a day to a close.
a little gem, there's a showpiece of reincarnierten Indian Michael Jackson!
