Here I am sharing my part of the story. I am travelling by 3AC for the next 40 hours. There are only 3 seats occupied in our compartment which is next to the door. My seat number is 7. I slept at around 6 pm. When I woke up at 7:15 pm, sometime back, I saw this man sitting outside taking out something from the bag of a passenger in the seat ahead of mine. As the train was not completely occupied, this person took out something from the bag, looked around and went out. When I started to record, he started going out towards my phone hence I could not record his face. I am worried about what to do? Should I file a complaint?

Before you start judging me, I am scared that I will complain and the RPF guys give my name, I could get caught by him or his people.

Time flies in no time. Pictures taken as kids and teens

One was taken in 1995 and the order one in 2010

15 years of time had so much in store for all 3 of us.

Now, 16 years from 2010, it would have been great to post a picture of 3 of us but now we don't meet anymore. No time to meet and get together as all of us are super busy in our busy life.

Basically, we are all related, cousins

Recently, I gathered the courage to visit my ancestral home in Kashmir. We left this home in Feb 1990 and I was born a month after we left it because we had to run for our life.

We had 19 rooms in this home with around 13 family members and 3 kids. When my family had to run overnight from Kashmir, we left all of us we had, hired a truck, somehow fit us all with a few clothes and left the home. We moved to Jammu from Kashmir which was a 12 hour drive during those days by road. My mother was 8 months pregnant and my aunt had delivered my cousin 2 months back.

There was a list of people created and pasted by the so-called jihadis and terrorists of all prominent kashmiri pandits on the walls in the main market. Unfortunately, my grandfather's and my father's names were there in the list. They could have been killed any moment after the list was released.

When we somehow reached Jammu alive, we did not have a home in jammu. All the family members lived in a single room from more than 10 rooms in the native home. I cannot believe what our families and many other families like ours must have gone through.

People died of intense heat in Jammu as they were not used to such harsh conditions and also from snake bites as most of them didnot get a house to live in so they lived in tents in large grounds.

My recent visit to my house made me realise how hard we worked post the Genocide in 1990 and we have done so well to reach the where we are today. One of the most hardworking communities of all times, "Kashmiri Pandits"

This is the picture of a kashmiri cuisine called Dum aloo. It is the kebab of vegetarian food in kashmiris

You will find dum aloo in every kashmiri wedding. It is one of the authentic vegetables served in Kashmir

One of the most important ingredients of this cuisine is the kashmiri masale like Red Chilly powder, sauf powder, khade masale etc

An authentic dum aloo melts in your mouth after taking a bite.

I have seen many restaurants in Pune serve dum aloo however they are no where close to the actual dum aloo in picture

In my recent train trip from Pune to Indore, there was no water in the toilet basin after a few hours of the journey commencement. In spite of telling the attendant , there was no refilling of the water which caused inconvenience to many other passengers on board as well.

The worst seat in any train is the seat next to the door. It is not easy to get sleep when you unfortunately get a seat next to the door. Plus you always remain concerned that your items might get stolen

My side of story of the 2003 Cricket World Cup:

I remember this match as a kid as I was just 12 years old. I was a huge Sachin fan who would cry whenever Sachin would get out especially in big matches.

I still remember clearly, i had gone to my uncle's home all the way from my home walking for around 5 km to watch the final - India vs Australia.

My hero " Sachin" was in the form of his life in the 2003 world cup having thrashed Pakistan in a match earlier in the world cup.

I was very nervous that day as it was a final of the world cup and last time India had lifted the world cup was in 1983 when I was not even born

I really wanted India to win and Sachin "MY HERO" to score a 100.

It all started with that horrendous over by Zaheer Khan who gave away more than 15 runs in the very 1st over. I wanted to watch Sachin bat but it was Australia that won the toss and asked India to field.

As the match progressed, my mood started to get bad and hopes of winning the world cup fainted.

After nearly 4 hours of waiting, it came down to that moment when Sachin came to bat. That short off McGrath in the 1st over to score a boundary got hopes back and i continued watching in anticipation.

But but but, then came that attempt to pull the ball towards the deep mid wicket and the upper side of the bat lofted the ball in the air which was eventually caught by Glen McGrath.

Tears rolled down my eyes which i wanted to control and hide from others but could not.

I did not eat dinner that day and avoided speaking to anyone at home

Sachin won MOTS award but India lost the World Cup!

What is your such MOMENT about Sachin when your heart was broken???

I’m currently on a train journey and noticed that the right toilet door in my coach has been locked for over two hours. My seat is right near the toilet, and the indicator light has stayed red the entire time.

​I’m not sure what the best course of action is. Should I:

​Knock on the door and ask if someone is inside?

​Raise a complaint on Rail Madad?

​Inform the TTE to come and check?

​Any advice or suggestions on how to handle this would be appreciated!

I became a victim of this VIP culture in Mahakal Corridor in Ujjain. My elderly parents were not allowed to take a battery vehicle however at the same time young and other VIP people were allowed to take the vehicle without any 2nd thought. I felt so helpless as a common citizen of this wonderful country where we commoners are treated like animals and only rich people are treated like human beings. Mahakal created human beings and we created the rich and poor. So sorry for all people out there who are like me and suffer such behaviour every now and then. May Lord Shiva bless us all

This is what I saw a few days back while travelling in Pune in my car. This man got down from his car and the rest is history❤️ We all should be responsible like him.
