It started like any routine announcement: 'Yaatri kripya dhyan dein.' But what followed wasn't a travel update; it had passengers laughing out loud.
Train announcements at railway stations usually signal commuters to stay alert and pay attention. But at Lucknow's Charbagh station, one recent announcement turned into an unexpected comedy show.
As reported by Dainik Bhaskar, a female railway employee forgot to switch off her announcement microphone. What followed was not an update on train timings or platform changes but a candid rant that echoed across the station's loudspeakers.
It all began like a standard announcement: 'Yaatri kripya dhyan dein (Passengers, please pay attention)." But instead of the usual travel advisory, what passengers heard next had them giggling on the spot. The woman's voice continued, 'Kitna besharam aadmi hai. Aurat ko dekh raha hai (Such a shameless man. He's staring at a woman)."
While only a part of the audio was captured on video, reports say the woman continued with, 'Phir gharwale kehte hai ye kaam karlo (Then the family tells me to do this job)."
The video captured two large loudspeakers on platform number 6 broadcasting the woman's remarks. The clip gained traction online with users sharing their mixed reactions.
Take a look at the video here:

'Keeping the mic on felt proved costly, next time I will check the mic before speaking, otherwise I will go viral," another joked.
Meanwhile, someone else said, 'After all, why is someone being trolled so much if he says something about himself? No one can express his/her views, it is just that it came out in front of the people, this is the mistake."
Amid the laughter, one person shared a more serious reflection: 'The issue that's usually silenced on the streets was shouted over the mic today—this wasn't just one woman's frustration, but a cry against the entire system."
The railway authorities have not yet issued a statement regarding the incident.
This isn't the first time railway announcements have taken a quirky turn. Back in November last year, another viral video on Instagram had the internet nostalgic. It showed a cartoon woman mimicking a typical Indian railway announcement. It started off with the classic 'Yaatri kripya dhyan dein" to updates about delayed trains. Her animated expressions and over-the-top delivery gave the video a hilarious spin, which viewers loved.
