   In relation to travelling on trains in India, I don't know how much
of an entertainment it is to others but I sure did enjoy it, most when
you don't have a reservation, and the TTE asks you to pay for a second
( possibly third ) ticket, and you end up locked in the corridor, that 
too after bribing the CRP, and when you know that it is futile to have
a reservation because you can't help being stared at by the standees  
( including woman and children ), and to top it all it is an overnight 
journey. Don't think of this as a sarcastic remark about trains in 
India. One should travel on one to experience it. I used to look forward
to them as a break from my college routine. BTW anybody travelled on 
Ganga-Cauvery Express from Varanasi to Madras, actually it goes on furthur
till Kanyakumari, but Madras was more than enough for me.
