>For the price, I find nothing wrong in sharing a 'sleeper' with somebody else. I needn't be gay to do that; just respect each other's personal space. The other though-costier, option, deployed by some foreign >tourists, is to block two adjoining 'sleepers' for a single passengers.
I dont see a price of Rs. 750/- as cheap. And what I fail to understand as to how they can call half a sleeper as a sleeper. They need to tell passengers upfront that they will have to share a sleeper with a stranger. The general understanding of a sleeper is the one that is there in the railways. Each person gets a very comfortable sleeper. Here, once you go up, you cant even raise your head. When I tried to get in, I couldnt put my head in the direction of the pillow; it always used to go the other way, and it was not possible for me to change my side while being in the sleeper itself. And it was completely suffocating with just me on that sleeper. I couldnt even imagine what would have happened when another person would climb up on that same sleeper. I would like to know if they have been permitted legally this '2 people in 1 sleeper' arrangement. If so, I wonder on what basis. I suppose there must be regulations out there that determine how much space a human being needs. regards, Samir Kelekar
