...but if you're me, you don't clean. Especially all this crap.
I have been to enough of them to know that i officially dislike indian train stations. The open sewer aspect of them combined with the onslaught of flies really just doesn't suit my fancy. Typically, due to this aversion, i try to spend as little time as possible there. Unfortunately, since i am an idiot, i booked us an unreliable train to Jodphur. So, we arrived at the train station at 11:30 am, with the idea we'd be in Jodphur by 6 or so. Our train however, did not arrive until 3:30pm, which didn't put us into Jodphur until about 10:45 pm. Needless to say it was a long day of sitting.
Max and i started getting really restless towards the end of the train ride. Our car was pretty much empty so we engaged some locals and came up with 10 excellent ways to pass the time whilst bored on a train. In no particular order, here they are in picture form.
