From the middle birth, I bent down to find that the tall hefty man on lower birth was snoring at his best ever. With every exhalation, the snore grew even louder surpassing the maximum decibel limit inside a railway compartment.
Immediately I turned the volume high on my mp3 player, but still the snore was able to murder every song that played on. I wondered whether I was sleeping inside a lion's den with the lion roaring straight into my ears.
And another surprising thing was, the way others were able to sleep with such loud sound in the air, so loud that it could tear apart every ear drum that it kisses. May be God was kind to them, blessing them to turn deaf for this one night? Or maybe everyone is afraid of disturbing the extra tall, hefty gentleman.
In the middle of the night, I somehow got the idea to wake him up and request him to sign a deal - you sleep for a few hours then give us a chance - wake up, stay awake, allow us to sleep for the same time.
But I was so doubtful whether I could convince him or not? And as I continued to ponder, the train reached its destination. I realized then that I was awake almost the whole night, unable to sleep, not even for a few proper minutes.

Hey finally your back again with your humourous posts ??
Your style of describing things is awesome dude."Soothing songs on my mp3 player made me float like a feathery cloud in deep blue sky of sleep - all of a sudden, a thunderbolt struck me." Vah vah! Shabshash!
Even i had such an experience sometime back in train.But we cannot complain much in public places ,especially in India.Best thing is to use good ear plugs :)
It happens to me even without travelling.
My husband snores so loudly that he himself gets up with a start. After so many years of marriage, I have got immune to the loud noise. I can sleep through it pretty well.
Your post made me smile a lot. It also made me ashamed of myself, because I could have been in place of that hefty tall person in your railway compartment.
my room mate snores at the top of his voice. i sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with a start. well, what i do is i go and shake him arm violently. he doesnt get up but stops snoring. maybe you should try it the next time round.
