Shocking! Passenger Records Railway Staff Filling Water For 'Chai' From Train Toilets

If you have seen Lord Of The Rings, you know how much Gollum loved the ring. He was obsessed and haunted by its thoughts day and night. Well, Indians have the same obsession with chai. 

There may or may not be a good or bad time, but it's always chai time. Every occasion for Indians is a good enough occasion to have a cup of tea. 

If we were to divide our country in two, there would we two kinds of people - those who love tea and those who don't. It might sound funny to the world that a nation which is often divided basis its religious views and non-secular agenda is united by a cup of tea. 

But what I am about to tell you now will shake your belief in it, a bit. In a video shared by Twitter user Punit Tyagi, Railway employees were seen filling their tea kettles from the railway toilets.

The tea which is served to lakhs and lakhs of people who travel in the train on regular basis was made using the water of train toilets, one of the most unhygienic places there is. The video has sparked fury on Twitter, where many people are saying that they are not even surprised, which is shocking. 

@RailMinIndia pls look into the issue... unable to digest...

Have our standards come to this, that an incident like this is not even surprising? Have people come to terms with the fact that anything we are served outside the walls of our house will be contaminated?
