Navigating train travel in India? Here's a survival guide for the uninitiated. Rule number one: stay away from the ladies' compartment unless you fancy an unplanned exit while the train is still chugging along - even at a leisurely 30 km/h, that's not exactly the grandiose descent you're hoping for. Rule number two: forget about personal space. On Indian trains, passengers take the concept of 'confined space' to a whole new level. Expect a cheerful "Let's squeeze together!" as you realize you're becoming best friends with complete strangers. This photo? Taken in Mumbai, and believe it or not, not even during rush hour!
