Another journey....

I don't know why, but every time i travel in train, I feel like writing blogs. May be this is because I am free to think and nothing else to do in train. Or may be because it's at the train I can see and analyze a lot many number of people from different class of society or from different cultures and having different behavior.
This time I am thinking and making an analogy between the life and train class.
While travelling inside an AC compartment, we are limited to the artificial environment of one compartment. We do able to see the outside world but with a tinted glass that prevent us from the actual climate and odour outside in the real world. Also we are surrounded by the people who are remained limited to that sort of environment and aloofness from outside world. But still they are the executive class of the society who have the largest say in the policy making as well as in the execution of the policies. This is what happens in real world also.

Next comes the sleeper class, where you are exposed to the actual climate and odour of the real world. You are surrounded by the lower middle class of society and exposed to their discussions which are related to either the actual problems at the ground level or how caste system and other favoritism is still prevalent in Indian politics and societal affairs. There a lot different types solutions come into existence but very little of them have a say in policy making or execution part.

I don't understand one thing, How one sitting inside an AC room with all the facilities available can make the best policy for those working in scorching sun with worst working condition one can think of. At least they should spend a day with them or seeing them working before making any judgement on the policies for them.
