Last two days I have been travelling and next few days too is not going to be different. It is going to be some grueling days with lots of trekking and travelling in the hills. So either I miss out on posting content or curating content on #hive.
I left my place yesterday, with some nice weather but the moment I landed to big city, the temperature is extremely worse. Anyway, the fun part of travelling in India, is to explore many places as well as to know more about other people. And todsy this is what I notice, in a jam packed train coach.
At first sight I was mistaken the person as being hanged, with a piece of cloth, but sooner I realised it is his way of relaxing. This is called Indian Jugaad. The train is a local coach with only sitting arrangement made and some luggage rack on the top. It was quite a crowded place with loads of people travelling. This type of coaches are meant for short distance travelling.

Generally, there are no resting support provided in the seat, neither there are any head support provided. I such case this old person found his own way of arranging the head rest. He made use of cotton towel also locally called gamcha. It is generally a long piece of cloth. He made use of the luggage support iron rod and tied them on his head.
He can put his head on it and take his part of power nap. Being a cloth support, it provided ample support and didn't harm him anyway. He can keep his head in any way, either on the window or lay down in front. This is unique way where he made use of his brain.
While the whole train was struggling to adjust themselves comfortably, this guy is busy in his nap. No matter what the other passengers are going through. This is surely a better way to relax when no provision were made. A good head support and proper way to enjoy a ride. This is just a glimpse of little part of India.
