Normal????

i rarely feel like writing to the blog.. but today this is the 2nd... i decicded to pen this down as and when it happened....
I feel like writing only when i couldn't express some thing rt away and it cribs my mind...its been long in my mind but didn't get time actually to scribble it out here...
As i said in previous post we went to native 2 weeks back...this particular incident happened when we returned Bangalore.We always love to travel in train..well we can't afford to travel in flight every time....
We started the journey quite calmly.. there were just 2 more persons in the compartment when we started from the first station..He was lying on the seat with his head on my lap as he was a bit tiered after the hectic weekend...and everything was calm and quite except for the monotonous rhyme of the train....
I love taking snaps with my cybershot gifted by my brother..so i took snaps through the train window.. well thats different view...
We spent about 2 hrs and we were about to reach another major station...
Since no one else had come to our cabin we knew people are going to board in this station.. So he woke up.. and sat on one side and i also sat along with him so that others who are gonna board here will have enough space to accommodate themselves...

Well from now whatever happened was annoyingly fast and then after that annoyingly slow to make our journey so unpleasant...
We both were sitting so glued together and it should not be a problem for atleast 8 persons to sit together NORMALLY... well that is important "normally".. there are some who are abnormal.....
ok.. after all beating around lets get into what happened....
the train stopped at the station.. there were so many rushing into our cabin well i didn't get time to see who all are they or how many are they....
One person .. i would like to call him a.. what.. a Barberian...or Mr B in short.
well i can expand that name like this B-Barbarian,A-Arrogant,R-Rude,...etc as in the popular ad...
Mr B entered with his family lined behind him....Let me describe Mr B, was an old well built man of probably 60 or so..looks exactly like a retired government officer.. he had all the rudeness accumulated in his face itself....Rudeness accumulated over 30-40 years of government service .. i say this because i have seen that kind of rudeness only in government service retired who in the major part of life did monotonous and very boring job in minimal salary....well i don't mean all govt: officers are like that.. i know very nice people also...
Mr B spoke to us only in typical mallu accented English and in loud voice .. loud enough that the whole compartment can hear it...
first of all he came and asked me to stand as where i am sitting is his seat and he wants to sit there...i was sitting near to the window.. so we thought he wanted to sit in the window side.. but the other side window seat was vacant..but still i thought ok. and i stood up...and there was very little space for me to move as Mr B's whole family was lined up there...ok then i thought i will sit in the other side....but when i look at the other side seat Mr B has already kept a bag there...So I asked very politely.. this bag??.. just that much i didn't even complete my question and he started shouting at me .. i think i went deaf by his loud voice..
well my hubby had already lost his patience with rude way Mr B asked me to get up from the seat and by the whole rush his family made there....On top of that Mr B is shouting to me..Still being good mannered person he didn't tell MR B any thing.. He just asked me to sit there ..Then Mr B started shouting like anything and his son also joined shouting at both of us.. The started behaving to us like railway police or so... They started shouting..."To sit in seat you should have tickets .. these are reserved and these are our seats.. people without tickets should not come and sit here"...
I wanted bang in there eras"hey u guys are not railway police.. we too have taken tickets in this reserved compartment.. there 8 berths in this cabin and only 4 are yours.. Better stop now or i will make you stand on thorns"... but that was just in my mind.. years of good nature i have practiced will never allow me to shout like they do....My hubby tried to make them understand we too have reserved seats and asked them whats their problem.. he will never shout like them.. i guess no good mannered person can shout like them....hmmm....
Mr and Junior MR B kept on shouting to us...They then made us shift our bags from where it was kept....Well there more space than required for them.. Still they wanted to keep their bags exactly under their seat number.. hey comon yar.. we had actually kept our bags to one side so that others who come can conveniently place their bags....
in between this shouting they started establishing they have more experience in train travel than any of us and started teaching us the meaning of courtesy... MR B says in loud loud noise that you will become deaf(I cant explain in words how rudely Mr spoke to us):"We are not traveling in train for the fist time..We know whats courtesy in train is all about"..
I really wanted answer Mr B on this but silence rules me.. he is teaching train travel experience to a person who has spent his whole lifetime away form native home.. As a kid my hubby used to travel 3 days to reach native every time in train..he did his studies also away from home.. and now work is also away from native ...and all through this time he used to travel in train only..Well i think that is good amount of experience in train travel....
and for matter of courtesy.. i don't think making a women stand in between too many people and not allowing her to sit is courtesy...
Is barking at us who always remained calm is courtesy??..
Is shouting at people who were ready to adjust with you courtesy???
.. hey i a m confused i don't get the meaning of courtesy.....:(
well all this happened in a span of 5 mins..After all this we said we don't want to argue with you people.....shame on you Mr. B.After all this we realized other people were looking at us with sympathy and i could easily read from their faces the discomfort caused by the whole shouting episode.. i think they were also seeing a person like Mr B and junior Mr B for the first time....hmmm that was all over...
but you know my mind over it again and again...We were really humiliated...
I wanted to do some nasty thing in return for what ever they did to us...but i know finally silence rules over it....
i kept on whispering my ideas to my hubby.. i don't exactly remember all those ideas...now actually those ideas sounds funny...but my thoughts were like that of little kid...
1.we will take a photo of Mr B and Junior Mr B and circulate a mail saying "Beware of Mr.B on trains".. just like saying "Beware of Dogs" hoping that mail will reach them on one day and they will realize their fault...I even planned to to get the actual names of MR B and Junior Mr B from the list posted at the entry of the compartment..
2.I wanted to write an article on some leading news paper on this so that they read it...
3.I wanted to put a blog post with their photoes and finally let them know how badly they behaved to us ...
4.I wanted to attach some nasty sticker on his shirt with out he knowing it and let others laugh reading it....
5.Middle birth was mine so we will make it staright so that Mr. B cannnot sit and enjoy any more(once we make middle birth straight Mr B cannnot enjoy the outside view..
6.I wanted throw some thing on their face to throw out all my anger ....

some more were there.. but i don't remember those......

But finally Silence Rules...But it still cribs my mind...that y i couldnt stop writing it out here...
Thank you Mr B for making our train journey so unpleasant....
I believe if I hurt someone else then someone will hurt me also...
This applies to Mr Barberian also....
