Old train coach transformed into fully-equipped bachelor pad; video goes viral
You've probably seen homes made of stone, scrap, or even built with 3D printers—but now, a train coach turned into a fully livable home is stealing the spotlight. Yes, an old Indian Railway coach has been creatively repurposed into a full-fledged house, and the transformation video has gone viral online.
The clip, shared on Instagram by Ajeet Singh (@ajeet.thakur._0735), opens with him standing outside what looks like an abandoned train coach. He walks in, chuckling, and right at the entrance, there are several large 10-litre water bottles stacked neatly. Inside, the usual sleeper berths have been replaced by proper beds, complete with mattresses, pillows, bedsheets, and blankets.
You can hear Singh in the background saying, 'Sofa wofa sab rakh rakha hai (There's sofa as well),' clearly impressed by the cozy setup. Ajeet also said, 'Poora ghar hai (This is entirely home).'
As he continues filming, more details of the unique home emerge—there are wall hangers, ceiling fans, coolers, ACs, curtains, rugs, proper lighting, and even cupboards. It's not just a temporary arrangement; it genuinely feels like someone's full-time residence.

In another clip, Ajeet is seen hanging out with the men who live there. The coach also has a television, several chairs, and quite a few water coolers–making it feel more like a hostel or shared apartment than an old train.
The video has racked up over a million views, and the comments are just as entertaining. One user said, 'Yaar yaha kam karne ke liye kya krna hoga (what would one need to do to work here).' Another user wrote, 'Kitne Tejaswi log hai kon hai yeh log kaha se ate hai aise log (How brilliant these people are – who are they, and where do such people even come from?)'
Others praised the idea, calling it a smart reuse of an old compartment. One comment said, 'Train become boys hostel.'

Revathi Kamath, mother of Zerodha co-founders, takes Bengaluru Metro: Check her Instagram post
Revathi Kamath, the mother of Zerodha co-founders Nikhil and Nithin Kamath, praised Bengaluru Metro in an Instagram post. The environmentalist shared a photo in a pink saree, standing in the women's coach. 'Travelling in Metro is so much convenient and that too in female compartment!!!' she wrote. In her Instagram bio, she calls herself an 'environmentalist and Veena player'. There is no mention of her remarkably-accomplished sons. However, in an earlier interview, she praised her sons. 'I have brought them up to contribute. My sons, especially Nithin, tell me – 'You do it with your own money and don't depend on any organisations, only then people will recognise you.' Nikhil at times will transfer money for a project to me without asking anything,' she told Indian Express. Social media users reacted to her Bengaluru Metro post. One of them wrote, 'Looks like you really enjoyed your metro ride, Revathi.' 'Are u planning to buy Bangalore Metro,' quipped another. Revathi Kamath was born in Shringeri into a learned Brahmin family where music and education played a major role. Her father, N. Krishnamurthy, was a lawyer and skilled Veena player who later taught music full-time. Her creative journey began when her husband brought her flowers from work. Inspired, she explored floral decorations. Borrowing ₹ 5,000 from a friend, she showcased her talent at Wipro and landed a ₹ 45,000 project. Balancing home life and motherhood, she slowly built her name. She opened a small flower shop in Jayanagar, which grew quickly. She later started Calyx, an event company that handled weddings and big corporate events. When Bosch asked her to do landscaping, she self-studied the subject and bagged her first ₹ 4.5 lakh project. Soon, she became a top landscape expert and handled projects for prestigious companies like Tata Steel.
