I was standing in the line at Bandra Station to renew my train pass yesterday night . I take a three month pass to avoid standing in the que every month . The line was quite big and by the time I was two guys behind from the ticket counter , I saw a guy cutting the line trying to take a pass . I mustered the courage while others kept looking and questioned the guy about cutting the line and asked him to come in line . I was taken back a bit when he replied " First Class Pass " . I was like so what ? Come in the line . He then showed me something written above his head which read " Q for First Class & ... "
and then a two three sentences discussion happened and he left looking at me like a loser after what I told him .

Now the point is not whether the guy is right or I am wrong , the whole point is that this is Bullshit according to me . Bloody inequality . A person who has more money has a separate que and those who don't have much money (aam aadmi ? ) has to stand in a big line which can put the Anaconda to shame ? Why is the Government treating its own people like this ? This inequality is there in Temples like Tirupathi etc etc and in the Government run institutions like Railways too . What happened to our god damn commonsense ? Just because the Government says so , it doesn't mean that we need to follow it blindly just because it's convenient for us .. I think irrespective of who says it , you got to show that equality .. I stood in the line along with others and got my pass . I don't know about others but somehow I can't stand in a different line because the government gave me the luxury ... :)
P.S. May be the Government must have thought that as there is not much big difference between the said First Class & Second Class compartments as they both are packed to full during peak hours , let the First Class passengers at the least have this privilege .. An Act of fooling people I must say :)
