The train from Mysore towards Bangalore left at 6:45 on 28th
October, last Sunday morning, like any other day. Being Sunday, it was
less crowded, the passengers comprising mostly middle-aged and elderly
and a small group of traders discussing the zooming sensex.After
sometime a sense of ennui, sleepiness took over the train amidst
vendor’s shout of coffee and tea.
Just before the train reached Mandya, there was some commotion from passengers, 2 bogies away. Soon after, the Ticket collector came enquiring whether there is a doctor in the train to attend to a passenger who had become unconscious.
