a journey in ladies compartment

That day I was coming from a long journey..was very tired..because its difficult to travel having waiting ticket (and getting confirm ticket when you need it is impossible).now it was time to travel in local passenger train..
because till the morning  there was not a single train available other than that,seeing the crowd on the platform, we knew that it was going to be a big fight in getting sheets.RUN RUN RUN...request someone for little space.NO..OK..AGAIN RUN RUN RUN...it was marathon...ohhh finally we succeed.was feeling like a winner..ohh great it was last and ladies compartment of that train...i am at right place...closed  my eyes and had a deep breath...
reopened my  eyes and had a look ...not a single person can adjust there more than that...MEN sitting on the berths..BOYS on the racks crossing there legs..just above my head.we were total four or five ladies and girls there.
train was about to start..police came and peeped through the window...i was thinking of some miracle ..but waste..see they are gone. okkk..i'll adjust..i told the boys sitting above my head to fold their legs so that i could sit properly...answer no..they cant because they r wearing jeans..wooo..alright... why somebody is playing music so loudly?please listen using headphones..i am having sever headache...again answer is same the big NO...why he will not play the music..train is not only yours...the old man supports the boy telling me that i have occupied the sheet and not allowing a children(who was in his mom's lap)...enough man...lastly i loose my control...this is ladies compartment.. and u r comfortably sitting and shouting at me to leave the sheets...keep ur mouth shut ...or leave ur sheet..u have no right to be here...wow ladies and some good men there supported me...suddenly a lady in front of me was not feeling well..she was a heart patient..coudn't bear the loud music and the sever heat + suffocation..her condition was really not good...giving her water somehow i managed to get her fresh air at window...now she was OK.
now every one was in peace mode...giving lectures to each other...talking to unknowns like they r relatives by birth...the boy above my head was also sitting properly...the sun was going down...the red-yellow light was peeping through the window... train was in its full speed.whole compartment was feeling sleepy.the next stoppage came and a crowd entered ...only noise everywhere..people fighting..boys climbing on the racks...playing loud music...men trying to get a little space for their ladies... hmm ..i was waiting for my stoppage ..still which was far far away...
