Yes, it is always good to be safe than to feel sorry down the lane. Following are some points that can help you in terms of safety:
Friendliness
There is no need to be over-friendly with anyone. Don’t give many details about you. It would be great if you stay extra-cautious in sleeper class. You have no idea how shrewd the person may be sitting next to you.
Try to look tough
If you have a smiling face, and it is like an invitation; you need to cloak that look. Come on, it is not just about trains, but in general, traveling too. If you wear a tough look, the thieves would hesitate to target you. This toughness would keep the nasty people at a bay. But if you are wearing a look that is polite, smiling and happy; you might end up being trapped by an oily tongue.
Not for a second
If you think that the toilet is just ten steps away from your berth and you would be back in a minute, and so it is okay to leave your luggage on your seat, then you are wrong. Come on, thieves always look for such a chance. They are an expert and they know how to do the deeds in a blink of an eye. It has been seen that people leave their purse or bags on their seats with a viewpoint that they would be back in a while, and they end up losing their luggage.
Jewelry
Whether you are a well-off woman or you are a middle-class lady; jewelry should have no place on your body while you travel. While you are on a train, make sure that you are not wearing any jewelry. There are women who are in a habit of showing off their extensive necklaces and earrings. It is okay to show them off at parties or events, but not on trains especially when you are amidst so many pairs of eyes that are not trustworthy. Jewelry makes you a target and can drop you in a risky situation.
Thus, these were a few of the points that you should always keep in mind when you travel by train.
