I had such experience once during travelling through train and am not able
to forget that incident till today.As I was travelling from Mumbai through train on my opposite seat was an old man he was blind and had no one to help, just holding
his stick and struggling to move in the train...after a long time when the train
was about to stop at goa all the passengers were in a to hurry get down, pulling
down their luggages from the seat.
The old man got up from the seat and hurried to the door he was pushed down from
one of the passengers due to rush and alas! he fell of and one of his leg got
trapped in the wheels of the train he began to cry for help,gud that the train was
slow but even then he lost one of his foot,really pity and sad moment isn't it?
Some people came and rushed him to the hospital...So can you share some of your
embarassing moments during your journey?

I feel very sorry for the old man that lost one of his feet in the train incident. A blind person in my home country usually has a guide dog. I imagine trains in Mumbai are very busy.
In my teenage years I was about to step on a train when one of my shoes fell on to the track. I missed my train. I told a member of staff what happened so he went to get a long stick. With that he managed to give my shoe back to me.
I was traveling on a night train from Poland. I wished to go to Prague in the Czech Republic. Half the people thought the train was going to Vienna and we had to change trains to get to Prague. I decided to change trains and that turned out to be the right choice.
I was on a late running train into Bucharest in Romania. I rushed to the international ticket desk at 09.58 to get the 10.00 train to Bulgaria. Amazingly I ran fast enough to get that train. At the border there were some people smuggling goods. It was surprising to see US dollar bribes going on.
