This is what you get for ₹1000 a day in Tokyo. Come to think of it, the dorm at Secunderabad station is actually better. This makes Bangalore's cube farms look good.

If you think this is bad, there's a gaggle of boisterous Australian backpackers sharing my room. So glad I'm on India timezone and will be returning late.

Saudamini JainYou should stay at a real capsule hotel na? Hide
Saurabh JAnd let the claustrophobia kick in. No thanks. I've ridden in a sleeper once and that was bad enough.
Pallavi PhatakOK what are these cube farms my city allegedly has? Hide
Jayasri Samyukta IyerWhat is this? Is this a room Saurabh Jain Hide
Saurabh JPallavi how many years have you been out of Chennai? And Bangalore is already your city? I've been out eleven and am still a madrasi. To witness these cube farms, slide down Hosur Road towards the software factories.
Saurabh JJayasri yes ma. This is the "room". They don't even call this a dorm.
Ayush JainWhat is the size? Do you sleep vertically in these? Hide
Saurabh JI intend to be horizontal, but then I don't know where my luggage will go. Thankfully I've spent countless train journeys with my luggage buried under my ass for fear of being stolen. I'm well trained for this scenario.
Saurabh JIt's the size of the mattress. When I sleep tonight I'll measure it for you mathematically oriented chaps.
Ayush JainAnd we complain of our cities being crowded and lack of space Hide
Garima MalhotraHow amazing is this picture! Hide
Saurabh JGarima are you sure? मेरे जले पर नमक तो नहीं छिड़क रही हो?
Deepam AgarwalWow... looks just enough to get the luggage in.. Hide
Garima MalhotraWell! What an experience it will be. You will so much appreciate the space of your home on your return Hide
Jyotsna PattabiramanIs it a hostel for vampires ? You'll have to sleep standing up Hide
Shireen AuroraGood lord! Closets are bigger than this! Hide
Mithun SundarPallavi?? 'your' city? Bangalore?? Drohi Hide
Saurabh JMs. Phatak has broken many hearts today. She should hide in a corner and introspect.
Saurabh JNo one seems to notice the absence of a bed! I know all of us commenting are from India, but even dharamshalas don't put people on the floor any more.
Shireen AuroraBed dalenge toh khade hone ki bhi jagah nahin bachegi. Hide
Ayush JainQs: why are you staying here instead of a hotel? Hide
Saurabh JBecause I wanted to be like Kangana Ranaut from Queen. Happy?
Saurabh JIf only I'd get off Facebook and make some friends. This basement bar is full of interesting people.
