like it happens in movies...

Scene 1: A BUSY RAILWAY STATION.
An elderly lady ,about to board a train realises that her purse is missing. She is also ravenous. Calculating the amount of time that is left in her hands before her train arrives, she clutches at the coins she finds in her other bag and rushes to the cafeteria. She orders a quick meal of rice and dal(the cheapest) and has only gone to wash her hands when she discovers on returning that someone else is eating her food. Angry and upset ( she is a strict Hindu and the other person is from another religion) , she calls him all kinds of names but because she is so hungry and there is no other money with her, she grabs the plate from him and finishes the food, religion and caste forgotten at a time of dire need. The man looks at her,stunned. After finishing her food, she gets up to gather her luggage and rush for the train when she realizes that her luggage and her plate of untouched food is lying diametrically opposite from the table she is in.

Scene 2: ANOTHER BUSY RAILWAY STATION.
Two cousins,bleary eyed are rushing to catch the morning train and give a sigh of relief when they finally enter their designated air conditioned compartment. To their irritation, they realize that other people are already occupying their berths. After arguing heatedly and rechecking their tickets, they wait for the ticket collector to make the final decision. All four have valid tickets. Tired and still sleepy, one of them rolls to one berth, tells the previous occupant to please remove his stuff so that she can have a little snooze. The ticket collector ,on entering the compartment is faced with the dilemma of four people instead of two. The two cousins, known for their oratory skills, lashes at the glitches in the railway ticketing system. The officer checks the reservation chart, says that he has solved the problem and tells the cousins that they are in the wrong compartment. Their compartment is the last one on the train. "On arriving at the next railway station, please get off the train and keep walking till you reach the last compartment . " " What is the name of the compartment?" they want to know.
"General compartment (the cheapest accommodation with seats made of pressed wood ,with no cushions. Although entry to the compartment is guaranteed, a sitting seat is not guaranteed.Very crowded) and to put things right, you are holding yesterday's ticket".

The first scene is from a Bollywood movie called 'Dus Kahaniya' (ten stories) and the second one is from a "Folly"wood event which happened to family members just 'like it happens in movies'.
