Carrying your own food during a train journey is very common in India. Even though Indian Railways serve all sorts of veg and non-veg food, the quality is not always top notch. Sometimes the items are even stale and low quality of meals has become a given when it comes to a train journey. While many people have accepted this and are okay carrying their own food, one Twitter user took to the micro blogging platform and called out the Railways. This happened after he found a cockroach in his food.
