I have heard many people crib about getting a side lower seat allocated on an over night journey on a train . Reasons are plenty...short space, cann't fit one self flat if you happen to be tall,disturbance when Sleeping- the whole berth having access to the asile, A nuisance as it is the most accessable seat for the hawkers and beggers to pester. However THAT IS MY FAV SEAT. Yes, I have trouble fitting into the Seat flat ...some might say I would have trouble breth wise...as well. LOL . Reasons I like that seat are plenty....I love to keep both the windows open and let the fresh air hit me ! Love to sit there with the leg streched and read through the journey, Love to sit through the night with the cool breeze sing a rythymic tone blended with the sound of the train, through the night and love grazing at the stars and see the stations wizz by.And the best part is I dont feel like sleeping in a match box with the roof 2 feet away!!
Not any more. I am not sure how many of you have got to know of this, well I learnt it the hard way and was a rude shock to me on the journey from Erode to Kannur. The side berth which just had two berths now have a side lower, side middle and a side upper. So no more sitting on the SL berth @ night when your fellow passengers are early to bed and late to rise hardcore followers. I am a great train fan on long distance journey just for this seat...now it makes me rethink....
Guess this is how it feels to be in the body box in a mortuary cold storage when you attain eternal sleep.

You are among those very few people (any at all?) I know who would say they love that seat. If I talk about myself, then cool wind through the windows, gazing at the stars, stations passing by, blah blah blah would all be irrelevant to me, as I usually (=always) prefer an AC compartment. :)
But hey, nice though. Except for the new i-will-stuff-more-if-you-dont-wannna-pay-extra from Lalu.
Abhishek: Thanks :) Yup..the train looks over crowded. NOt sure how this is in the AC though
neither me. its been a time since i boarded a train. i must do that. train journeys are always more exciting, as long as they are short :)
