Train Conversations

I captured something that every Indian must have gone through & relished while traveling. 

Here's a glimpse into some statements picked up from the typical Indian conversation by various people in a train to Ahmedabad :

1. Karma ! If you are rich, if you are poor, its all because of Karma.

2. Human is the most beautiful thing created by God.

3. These days mom calls up my servant more than she calls me just to ask when would he be coming home for work. And the servant would reply that as it is a Sunday, he is taking his wife out to Kankaria Lake.

4. Gujaratis love Sundays. They would sit back home, eat all they can & hang around with family. Marwadis are totally different in that case. Marwadis are less worried about life after 4 days and so much more worried about their next 7 generations that they will also work on Sundays so that the coming generations do not have to face a problem.

5. People now a days go to malls just to enjoy the AC. They don't really intend to shop.

6. Knowledge is important to know how to do things in the right way. Today people have degrees but no knowledge. 

7. If you want to be in the best place all you need is confidence. 

In MBA interviews they have been asking,

-How many buttons does your shirt have ?

-What is the color of the chair you are sitting on ?

-What was your train number?

They won't check if its correct or not if you can confidently answer back. 

8. MBA and the likes of popular degrees don't have any value because of quality of knowledge they impart.  Once my friend who is an MBA suddenly dropped by my house & said, 'Yaar mere sath bank chal na. DD bana k de muje'. Because this MBA guy did not know how to go about making a DD (Demand Draft).

9. Jo hai usko bacha k rakho. Jo insaan ki sabse badi kamayi hai usko bacha k rakho, gumao mat. (Save whatever you have earned, don't let it go. He was probably talking in terms of respect).

10. There are too many love marriages happening these days. Kids never want bad for their parents but love relationships turn things bad. Because neither do the children nor do the parents understand. Most love marriages have a friend as a role model. Only navra (idle) people fall in love otherwise who has time for all this nonsense. And if parents bring a good looking girl for their son who is already in love with someone else then its of no use coz 'agar dil aya gadhi pe toh pari kya chiz hai'. There are 4 things ruined by love marriages i.e. 'money, time, mental peace & relations'.

You too must have heard serious to hilarious conversations while traveling. Would you like to share a couple of them ?
