When I was traveling along the streets near the Kolkata Circular Railway, I came across a scene that was both striking and unsettling. In this photograph, an elderly man is seen lying down between two railway tracks, calmly watching as a train passes by. The juxtaposition of human fragility against the raw power of the approaching train creates a moment filled with tension and contemplation. However, it’s crucial to emphasize that lying between railway tracks is extremely dangerous and goes against all safety regulations. This behavior poses a serious risk of severe injury or even loss of life. Railway tracks are meant solely for the safe movement of trains, and any activity around them should be approached with caution and respect for safety protocols. This image serves as a stark reminder of the thin line between curiosity and recklessness, urging everyone to prioritize safety over thrill.
