Sleeping on Train Floor Near the Dustbin!

I took these photos on a Nokia 6600 while traveling from Bhubaneswar to Hyderabad in May 2006. This family was sleeping on the floor of the 3rd AC compartment, right next to the wash basin and the dustbin. The bin incidentally was overflowing and there were flies everywhere. The woman had put the child's feeding bottle on the floor and was alternating her attention between the two children. I saw the feeding bottle knocked over by other passengers moving to and from the toilets (right behind the wash basin) a number of times. The woman would just pick it up again and use it!

The children's father was sitting on the coach attendent's berth. You can see his foot on the right side of the photos.
