My 1-AC Class Train Experience With My Mother
This was my first time travelling in 1st AC, and honestly, the experience was pretty interesting
I was travelling with my mother, and when we boarded the train, we found out that we had been allotted a 4-berth cabin. It was actually pretty nice having our own private compartment.
The TT came within an hour after the train started, checked our tickets, and left. After that, he didn't knock again.
One thing I noticed was that there were no chai samosa paani wale bhaiya roaming around like they usually do in other trains.There was a pantry, but we didn't try the food because we had brought our own. Later, I heard the pantry food wasn't that great anyway.
Then came the funniest part.
At night, there was another passenger who had been allotted an entire 4-berth cabin to himself. After some time, the TT knocked on his door. There were actually four TTs together, and they wanted to sleep together in that cabin.
So they asked that passenger to shift to our cabin.
At first, I thought maybe he was some other passenger who had just been assigned to our cabin. Later, he told us what had actually happened — the TTs wanted to sleep together, so they moved him out of his cabin and into ours .
Later, he asked us, "Have you eaten food?"
I said yes.
Then he told us that he had bought some food but ended up throwing it away because it was so bad...
Unfortunately, we didn't have any extra food to give him either.
Overall, the journey was comfortable, quiet, and definitely different from my usual train experiences. The privacy of 1st AC was probably the best part.
But the whole "move this passenger because four TTs want to sleep together" situation was definitely the funniest part of the journey 😂.
