Film-flam in the carriage
You're sitting between two hefty men in the second class compartment of a local train. There’s no space left for the imaginary fourth seat. To kill time, you take out your tablet and start watching Hayao Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises, unpausing it from where you last left it. Within seconds, three additional pairs of eyeballs are fixed on your itty-bitty screen. Blame it on the irresistible magic of animation.

As the film moves on from one fascinating frame to another, none of the three bother to check which station the train has reached. And then, the inevitable happens. The tablet begins blinking at you, reminding you that the battery is low. You keep clicking the ‘OK’ button as stylishly as the villains in a Hollywood franchise die.
