When I travel by train I befriend all the passengers around me. I help old ppl or ppl with more luggage with their luggage. After that humble request to turn off fan, close window, use their upper berth to sleep during day time works like charm. Some aunties also look after my stuff when I get down at intermediate station. I also share food with fellow passengers. After that the journey becomes more fun rather than a torture.Bottom line is that compromise works even with stubborn passengers!'Khosla ka ghosla' movie mein ek dialog hai - "Ye desh pen*** compromise pe chalta hai"
 
Yeah, it's basically a humble nature always returns out to be fruitful. Everyone tries to be stubborn in train but showing small concern towards everyone solves the problem. But if someone is not in a mood to be friendly, then journey become a pain. For example, some parents leave their children in train to play and disturb others. Obviously any intelligent and humanly man will not scold and threaten the children. But what if when their parents too didn't ponder to your irritation.
 
I also share food with fellow passengers

IMO, thats not a good practice to follow
 
@hno3Yes I do that too. But sometimes ur train is at night. You dont get time to get involved.Or they themselves have come in their own group so they dont bother to chit-chat with u much.etc. etc.I am not saying that I need hard and fast rule. But if there is a rule it helps in case of "crisis" where the other person just does not want to understand.
 
Thats why upper seats are preferable! You can sleep there 24hrs and noone can make u get up.
 
even on three tier? i guess the top berth is at enough height for people to sit comfortably below it?
 
You cant sit on upper seat comfortably for long but for short period its ok.

Also sitting on middle sleeping bearth is impossible

Lower seat people can not sleep between 6AM to 10PM.

My point is that if u have upper seat -
If you want to sit - then sit on lower sitting seat that is allocated to you.

If you want to sleep - go up and sleep there.

Noone can say no - because both seats are yours throughout the travel.
