Talkative Lady in the Train: Real Experience


I am on the Upper Berth of the train. There is a talkative lady on the lower berth. She has a lot of stories. I a listening intently and jotting down for you all. So here there are:

Vasihno Devi and Theft of Purse: One I made plans to Vaishno Devi. I was travelling via train. My whole purse (like it can done in parts too) was stolen. A lot of money, jewellery was stolen. We informed TT; searched a lot but didn't find it. But Mata ka Aashirvaad. We reached Vaishno Devi and came back with just the money we had. 

A drunken guy in train: Once I was travelling in train. There was a drunken guy who was making nuisance. It was very late and kept the light of the compartment on. When I asked him to shut it off, he saw me like he will kill me. Then we called TT, who called police and he was ejected from the train.

AGM and sweeping the floor: I work in State Bank of India. In our branch there is no sweeper allocated. Staff is expected to Sweep the floor in the morning. When I was transferred to this branch, they expected me also to sweep the floor. I said no. They threatened me that AGM Sir will become angry. I told them straightforward, let AGM come and sweep the floor. I won’t do it. And if I am threatened, I will complain in writing.

Clearly written Cancer and still you people eat: She is giving a lecture to a fellow passenger who is chewing Tobacco. “Likha hai ki cancer hoga, phir bhi kha rahe ho”. My husband is also like that. Whole house is full of dirt due to the wrappers. We have regular arguments on this issue. Teeth also go bad and it causes cancer too. Whole wash-room is dirty red. I was once travelling in train. I saw a group of South Indians. None of them chewed Masala/Tobacco. They had such nice shining teeth.

No patience in UP people: My in laws are from UP. These people are so fighting type. They have no patience and ready to argue. They don’t even respect each other. No love. “Bas ladwa lo. Shaadi ke baad shuru shuru mein toh itni ladayi huyi inke Gharwaalon se, pooch mat”. 

My husband is no good: Me and my husband both are working. He has a four wheeler, I just have a two wheeler. Never has he said that you take the car today. Kabhi Nahin. Saara ghar mein sambhaloon, kaam bhi karoon. He is no good.

Her stories are never ending. I will stop listening to her now.
