The Fourth Seat

Though i feel the length of the seats in 1st class and 2nd class compartments of the local trains is the same, the seats of 1st class may appear to be bigger, may be because they are cushioned. But the 'fourth seat' is the favourite...I travel by 1st class and every second day i get to witness a fight over the fourth seat..
So here comes a female and asks the 3 people who are sitting comfortably, to shift, the first thing that she gets is a look of disgust (oh god!..ab iske liye shift hona padega..), then they shift and the lady sits there, she is almost falling off but somehow manages probably becuase she is tired but after sometime she runs out of patience becuase the lady next to her complains that she is pushing her! ( now i think its a little obvious considering the tiny portion alloted to her ) so she snaps back..
what else do you expect ha? if you want to sit with your legs wide apart, why dont you travel by your private car ha?
..Look at the way she is fighting!, this just shows what a nuisance you are..a pain to the society...blah blah blah..
Oh my god!..on the other hand, when i travel by 2nd class, i always find that 4 people are comfortably sharing the seat without any dumb catfights...I wonder whats the reason for the difference..i have noticed something and this is a bit funny and wierd but its a fact, the people travelling by 2nd class are thinner than the people travelling by 1st class..:) seriously they are..may be thats why they fit in ...:)
But all in all, travelling by local trains is immensely entertaining...and yes i 'love' the 'fourth seat'..:)
