There were about six people in my carriage including myself and we were treated extremely well by the staff of the Indian Railway.
I made a diary of the food served on the train as follows;
Train departs@16:55 bang on time.
Tea (17:20) - Half triangle ocut white breat cheese sandwhich (crusts off), dry samosa, cake, mango jouce, tea, towel,+tray, mouth fresherner
19:22 - Tomatoe soup and bread sticks with butter + salt + pepper.
20:07 - Rice, Dahl, Veg Panneer, salad + mixed pickle, yoghurt.
06:40- tea and biscuits
07:24 - Veg Pakoras w/ Peas + Ketchup, bread, butter + jam, mango juice
Mmmm!!!! Good food, well looked after. The 16.5 hr journey cost about 1600 rupees - about 20 quid. Sweet!
Arrived in Delhi about 5 hrs ago and have already 'sold out'. It is VERY western here, accomodation is 1200 ruppes - about 14 quid (was averaging 350rupees for a double en suite elswhere in India and this place doesn't even have a bathroom). I've been to an Indian McDonalds for my sins (no Beefburgers there! LOL), bought a pair of Levis (1200 rupees in the sale), been offered lots of tour packages, suits and hashish and cocaine (usually by the same people) and also had a haircut.
This is begrudginly preparing me for life in a Western Country... and I don't like it!
:(
Roll on the snow!
