Choti Line

I go to the railway station to enquire when the next train to Mhow is. I am told, "choti line pe jao". Now, having traveled in a local bus, I have to be one of "them" and not show so easily that I am a tourist. So, I pretend to understand and nod in approval. I walk three or four times in loops that are not exactly circles, but, can be approximated to. I search for faces that tell me "I can help you, my son". I go back to him and ask him "where is choti line counter". I can't ask him what is choti line. I have to figure that out myself. And then, he tells me exactly how to go there and reaching there, I find that its a ticket counter too! I am now irritated that I don't know what choti line is. I peep from the counter while the man behind tends to the person in front of me and voila! Choti line is the meter guage line that runs in parts of MP! The rail is only 1 meter wide and the train looks like a toy train! Choti indeed!
