Yesvantpur Jn 駅前の超無愛想なティファンでセットドーサ。釣銭を投げてよこした番頭に腹が立ったが食事は美味かった。

I had "Set Dosa" at super unfriendly Tiffin stall in front of Yesvantpur Jn station. I got angry with the cashier who threw the change money but the meal was delicious.

バンガロールからニューデリー、47h50mの移動時間。インドの列車に乗るのは8年ぶりです。

New Delhi from Bangalore, traveling time is 47h 50m. It is the first time in eight years to get on an Indian train.

やっぱりインドは何も変わってない?
列車のトイレは以前よりちょっぴりきれいかもしれない。

After all what has not India changed?
The train toilet may be slightly cleaner than before.

10年前の2等寝台は地を這うようにしてゴミを集めては喜捨/バクシーシを当てにする物乞い、床でも人の席でもどこでも構わず座る客、ヒジュラ(トランスジェンダーカースト)が居て常に警察の巡回もあり混沌としていました。

10 years ago, in the 2nd sleeper class, beggar collected garbage and while crawling the ground, people were sitting any floor even at other guest's seat, Hijrah (trans gender caste), patrolling of the police, always chaotic.

今では2割の乗客がスマホを持っていて、昔のように財布の紐が緩くない様子で物乞いの取り分も減ってるように見えます。

Today, 20% of passengers have a smartphone, It's let they tighten the purse strings, therefore seemed to be decreasing beggar's earn.

掃除が行き届き、列車がクリーンになったのは、チャイボーイ出身のナヘンドラ モディ首相の施策かな?若い世代はきれい好きなのかも知れません。

Cleaning was improved and the train became cleane is may be the policy of former Chai Boy Narendra Modi? May be young generation like to keep clean.

北に近づくにつれてイレギュラーな人々が増えてゆく。そして彼らは貧しいけれど人懐っこいです。

As we approach the north, irregular people are increasing. And although they are poor, they are so friendly.

固いベッドで、2日間も過ごすと体もカチカチになりそう。

If you spend 2days on hard bed, your body also will be more hard.
