📜Travel Story Just Came to my knowledge that Middle Aged Aunties Refer to Sex as Aanand Or " आनंद "

I was travelling in Dakshin Express today and saw two middle aged aunties sitting together and discussing purana ( Ancient Hindu Book) texts with each other

Basically they were telling each other the stories of how world started and how women was created and the story goes on something like this

" Lord brahma only created men first and in ancient times the men use to reproduce with the power of their mind and because of that their was no concept of marriage and families, so men were only created to serve the society till a certain age and after reaching that age they use to submit themselves to tapsya ( Giving your life to meditation )

So after some time men started feeling that there is some kind of thirst or craving inside them and to satisfy that thirst they started committing some sinful acts with each other ( you know what they mean 😨)

When brahma noticed them he felt there is someone needed for men to have Aanand With them at night ( Aunty used these exact words 💀) , and there is also a need for someone to take care of Household and children whenever men go for doing their daily deeds or tapsya

So he created women or female gender, but to create balance in universe and to give more purpose to women rather than just existing to serve men lord brahma gave women the power to produce children as well, so from that day whenever men had to create children they can only do it with the help of women and there is no other option "

The story was interesting but today I found out how different the boomer generation think than us Genz

I was still thinking about it and after hearing that story my interest in Holy texts has suddenly increased.

Ask r/IndianRailways Hands down the most simple and useful train tracking app

1 Upvotes

I came across this app, and was pleasantly surprised to find someone really making and effort to make train travel in India more simple and easy to track. I was looking for a way to track my PNRs that's not a pain in .... Aand, came across this one, search a PNR once, and the app stores it on your phone so you don't have to log in again and again to check your PNR status. Also, the app has alerts, that I used. I used the two features and loved both. Thoughtfully done features, which a train traveler would love to have.

Show your love guys, this guy needs our support.

🗫 Discussion Do ticketless/general ticket passengers get into AC coaches also?

9 Upvotes

I have only travelled by Sleeper class coaches but it is becoming very inconvenient because often many ticketless/general ticket passengers get into these coaches. Sometimes it becomes so bad that we cannot even go up to washroom. I have seem that mostly there are no such passengers in AC coaches but have seen some news reports and posts that show/say that now AC class is also seeing this issue. So I was wondering if AC classes are really better in this regard. And if there are any disadvantages of travelling in AC coaches, other than very high fare in comparison to Sleeper.

📜Travel Story What do I even say or do

Vande Bharat 22477 journey 13 oct . A group of 10–12 guys boarded along many from NDLS it's boarding and starting ot ... dikhne mein well-dressed aur educated lag rahe the, but behaviour-wise… well guess urself ..

Pehle toh seats saath mein chahiye thi, jiske liye sabko thoda preshan kiya (which is still okay, standard train stuff). But the real drama started next.

Uthna baithna fir mil gyi adjust krlo .. nahi ab kuch inme se apas m seat change Krna chahte h .. and after a few settling minutes 10-20 they couldn't resist more ..

Pura group utha aur door k pass jo area hota h vande Bharat mein .. inside the coach side .. us area ke paas zameen par dera laga ke baith gaye kuch inme se . Kyun? Because taash (cards) khelnaa tha ! 🃏 Completely blocking the pathway to the washrooms. Intentional preshan karna nahi tha, but basic awareness ka level zero tha... They would give way to go I guess but Krna kyuuuu haiiiii ..

Atleast vande Bharat has evening snacks ... So they were back to seats because of it ..

Fir halla gulla because inko kya mtlb k koi sona b chahta h train m ..

Everytime they talking loudly getting up and putting pressure while getting up on the next seat ..

Guess whose seat was in front where one of them was frequently getting up and down putting pressure on the seat ..

Yours truly my sleep and peace was on the seat ..

Idk what to even say now or do ..

Don't mind my typo ..

While I was getting off the train they wanted to go out and have cig break.. so got the chance to click the picture ..

📜Travel Story Harrasment/ Got into an argument with RPF officer

38 Upvotes

I Was Travelling in 13403 Vananchal Express. The train was running 50 mins late from its scheduled time . The Train arrived at my station , but we didn't get any platform as the Train was too long . I along with my co-passengers were confused and surprised at the same time as it happened to us for the first time . We thought that the train would move again a little bit and we will get down . But to make it more thriller, the train was leaving the station and one of our co-passengers pulled the chain.

After Stopping:

Two RPF officers stopped us. They said some of us should have got down from the train and informed the Guard.

So who should get down in a rocky , uneven ground?

Me , the lady with her 1 year old son or her husband.

Those officers argued and argued at peak 3:40 AM , and they are not making any case because the Guard was merciful enough as he didn't create a memo. At last we faded off and apologized.

Things I learnt today:

Paying the Ticket fare is not enough, we have to take tasks on our shoulders if railways fail.

Arguing with a Khaki uniform is senseless, their ego shines more than their argument.

Guys please comment on this situation.

Should I tweet / file any case ( I don't have any recordings)?

Are we at any fault?

Ask r/IndianRailways Civic sense in Indian trains — why do people hide garbage instead of disposing of it properly

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

People often hide garbage in corners or near the edges of train roofs instead of disposing of it properly. Hiding waste doesn't make the train clean. We need better civic sense, accessible dustbins, and responsible passengers. Cleanliness is everyone's responsibility, not just railway staff's.

Ask r/IndianRailways Why did Goa express diverted?

1 Upvotes

I am currently traveling in Goa express between pune jn to Mathura jn

Usually after reaching Bhopal this train next stations are bhopal>gwalior > jhansi >agra can't >Mathura but now this train will go bhopal > Mathura directly not directly actually but from some slowest route possible

Train time is to reach Mathura is 4:30 am but now it's 6:39 and we're in kota randomly

I missed my next train which I had to catch at 6am from Mathura

On the other hand other trains like jhelum express still following the same route

So why not this fckass goa express?????
