As you step onto the train, the air buzzes with anticipation—what’s the first thing that catches your eye? Perhaps it’s the colourful rangolis decorating the compartments or the mouthwatering aroma of steaming samosas sailing through the aisle.
In the peak festive season, the demand is overwhelming, and getting a confirmed ticket can feel like a small miracle. For those who missed out, the Tatkal quota, or last-minute ticket booking system, becomes a frantic yet hopeful chance. People across the country from different cultures board the train, which seems like a festival itself. People share their excitement through food and stories of their celebration.
Food plays a bigger role in any Indian celebration. What does the pantry in the train do special? During the festive rush, the pantry service is often overwhelmed by high demand, and travelers may find their orders misplaced or delayed. On a lucky day, you might receive a fresh, piping-hot meal. Other times, the quality and hygiene may be a concern, leaving travelers to rely on their own packed food or other vendors.
“Chai, chai, chai garam”, buzzing with hawkers’ voices. No sooner had the chai-wala moved on, when another voice called out, “Bhel puri! Fresh and tasty bhel puri!” These hawkers sell food that are prepared in bulk and sell them throughout the day. While a crispy pakora or a warm vada may be tempting, travellers often weigh the risk of consuming items that may not have been stored or prepared in the cleanest conditions. Though the flavours are usually satisfying, the freshness and quality can be unpredictable, and falling ill during the festive season is a risk most travelers would rather avoid.
