A group of passengers at Madhya Pradesh’s Ratlam railway station grabbed eyeballs when they performed Garba after their train arrived 20 minutes ahead of its scheduled time on 25 May. The video of the incident has prompted a variety of reactions online. The Bandra-Haridwar Express arrived at the Ratlam station at 10:15 pm, which was 20 minutes prior to its scheduled arrival. The train had a 10-minute stop but since it had arrived before time,  passengers had a 30-window at their disposal. Before boarding the train, they performed Garba and grooved to some popular numbers including Odhni Udi Udi Jaye. Other passengers who were previously unaware of the train’s before time arrival, also got down and danced away to celebrate it. The video of the Garba performance soon went viral on social media.

Life is a train journey. I begin at a station and I end at a station...

The magic lies in how you enjoy at the stations.

Celebrating life!👇@AshwiniVaishnaw https://t.co/5uEHsPwpz4
