Passing Haripad Station

Haripad Station

Passing and rumbling past this railway station

When was the last time you traveled in an unreserved coach? What do you do to cope with the swelling mass of crowd around you? Will you try to postponed the journey or look for alternate ways to travel if you don’t get the berth reservation in train? Or will you bribe the TT or request him to get a ticket?

For me, this was the latest of unreserved journey which I look from B’lore to Trivandrum. And, this trip gave me a sore ass, that I wished there was a special ass massage at Railway station for the ass weary travelers.

Well, if the airports can have leg massage or other massage facilities, then when can’t railway look for such an option? I think it would give more a lakh of direct and indirect job for Indians.

Imagine, a station with massage cubicles or a service which can be availed at Yatri Nivas. Just have to show the tick pnr and masseurs will do the rest.

Massage Facilities at Railway Station

This idea could be far-fetched in Indian scenario, but not too distant. I can see such added facilities in railway station, from bakeries ( Cantonment Station, Bangalore), to salons for a quick hair cut, Emergency Medical Facility ( Saw one in Quilon), Restaurants, Shoe Shine and Shoe mart, T shirt, Indian Railway Souvenirs, Tourist Information Facility ( already there), foreigners Travel Assistance cell ( For Travelers), etc.
