First Class Vs Second Class in MRTS

Ya it has been a long time since i posted ..

I work for a company which is located in one of the busiest place in Chennai; it is none other than T-Nagar. This place is famous for many things such as Pollution, Parking, traffic jam, bargaining, shops, more shops, people, people and more people. If you have Rs. 500 you can get two shirts and jeans and at times even more. Yup you will find shops with such low prices (don’t ask me about the quality, come on you can’t expect everything). Anyways you will also find standard shops known for its Name. Parking - Now that is something you wont find that easily here. If you find a place to park your vehicle, trust me you are one of the luckiest person in this world.

SuburbanTrain
I preferred coming by train to this place because any other mode of transportation will make you frustrating that may be because of the bad road, traffic, hot sun or because of a idiotic driver in front of you or any combination of the mentioned reasons. Anyway nowadays I come by bike for a change. My father advised me to a get a first class pass for the train and so I did.
The following are the interesting things I found about a first class coach and a normal second class coach. In second class you will find people in lungi, along with well dressed person; basically it will be a colorful one. On the other hand in first class coach you will find people with Genesis, Louie Philip, Van Heusen and other high branded shirts with Levi, black berry pants, not to mention the shoes. You accidentally step on other persons foot the words that will come out of your mouth is "I am sorry" / "Excuse me" and the victim would just smile or say "its ok" or may stare at you.. On the other hand you enter a second class and accidentally stamp a person; before you could open your mouth there will be at least three people shouting at you.. well it wil include from class c words to some words which you will have to search in a dictionary of the bad words..

Well the best part in second class (which I personally like) is there will be many groups of people who will be discussing on water problem, politics in their work to politics in our country and goes on .. It wil be funny and interesting to hear those conversations; you don’t need an IPOD for keeping yourself occupied in the train journey .. oh ya talking about music.. there will be blind people who will sing or who will be good in some instruments and will play it from one station to another .. some give a rupee or two to them .. I don’t use the word beggar to describe them cause I appreciate their music and talent always.. Seriously u will also appreciate it if you get a chance to hear it.. you wont find these people in I class anyways.. Grrrr...
This a very little about the suburban trains in Chennai .. you can actually write a whole book which I don’t want to do as of now..
