Someone didn't realise this was a joke.

Saw this train a couple of times on western line. In my visit to Kerala this year, I have also seen trains all wrapped in Airtel, BSNL, Ghadi detergent branding and they all looked way too ugly. Thankfully, it's uncommon sight on central railways.

Indian Railways is like Flipkart... They are making you pay to use their services and yet you see ads everywhere. The last time I was on IRCTC portal, it looked like a billboard to me.

Not that it is going to change anything.

I wonder when would they switch to auto posting from Facebook to Twitter.
