AC 3-tier

I always thought the windswept experience of a sleeper class is far
superior to that of being confined in an AC coach. But I have to
admit: the soothing waves thrown by the vents above feel very good.

Somehow, the flowing swathes of the outdoor look charming from behind
the wide glass window. And what I do appreciate is keeping my elbows
dry-if you know what I mean-from all those anonymous water sprays
whose origins you are not awarw of and don't want to ponder over. Love
thy neighbors.

And since I have been jetting away for the past couple of years, I
seemed to have missed some innovations happening in the world of
railways. Under the auspices of our maverick rail minister Laloo, the
coach now, instead of 8 berths per pod has 9! "Cheating! My wife cried
foul.

It is difficult to describe how they went about creating the real
estate. The bygone era had a simple even arrangement of 3 pairs and 1
pair on either side of the aisle. So 6 would sleep on one side and two
would sleep perpendicular to these 6. Now, quite inconceivably, the
genius coach designer has tucked in a 3rd berth in between the two
berths by the window! You have to see to believe the logistical
impossibility.

Now the thing that clinches the whole wierdity is if the poor soul
does manage to sleep in between the two very inconvenient sleeping
forms, where does the 9th guy get to sit? No, not where he sleeps but
has to go across the other side and squeeze himself on the 3-seater.
That's the oddest allocation ever! See the pic, don't take my word for
it. Ha ha. Long live laloo.
