Train types

I have had the misfortune and the fortune of travelling by the Mumbai local trains on a daily basis for the past five years (yes, on some Sundays too). Through my journeys, I have observed various kinds of train personalities. People usually fall into one or more of these categories:

1. The ones who push you violently no matter what: This category of people believes in trampling you whether or not the compartment is crowded. The arrival of the train arouses the worst in them. They'll peel your skin off if that's what it takes for them to get in FIRST and FAST. 
2. The ones who settle down in the train: They think of it as their first home. They play cards and music and also chop vegetables (not kidding!)
3. The ones who fight for no reason: Even if a strand of your hair happens to brush across their face accidentally, they make it a point to abuse at you. The Marathi subset of this lot is particularly very fierce.
4. The ones who think sitting anywhere at all is awesome: Yes, this crowd sits ON the train and near the doors of the train. Not to mention that a handful of them do get electrocuted every year and also kicked about in the wrong places.
5. The ones who bug you for your destination station to reserve their seat: The long distance commuters. They pester you till you come out with your destination  and then implore you to give them the seat. Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
6. The train friends: The ones you see day in and out if you happen to travel by the same time every single day.
7. The lascivious lechers: Those group of pathetic losers who think its their birthright to make snide comments at every human species with a pair of boobs.
8. The ones who cooperate: These form a minority of the lot. They offer tiny gestures of kindness. They put your bag up in the rack, switch on the fan for you, coolly step aside at your station to make way and even pass on a smile or two. This lot makes our daily train travel a little bearable.
