Stupid Common Man...

The life in a general compartment of a train never changes.  Every soul tends to struggle for his own space. One hand trying to support the swaying body. While the other tightly clings to the only bag he possesses. Like its the backpack holding everything they will ever need.  They seem to be lazy and uninterested.
Any family will consist of a tired father whose 18 hours of hard work wouldn't suffice the starving family. The hard labour he does is more likely to erase his lifelines first than to meet his family's expectations. His unwillingness to work do is based on solid reasons. The fear of survival is the something that travels down the family tree without much efforts. Children can read it from their father's ever inquisitive eyes and wrinkled forehead.
The dilemma of father forces the mother in a difficult situation. The mother is supposed to play the dual roles. She is the one who knits the family together. But now, she has to fill the void created by the father's absence too.
