Another Normal Day in India.


Calcutta, India.
A 30-year old woman suddenly gave birth in the toilet on a train in northeast India, and the baby fell down the chute, out the trapdoor, and onto the tracks. So the mother raced out of the bathroom and jumped off the train in the dark to search for the kid.  They eventually found the mom and the baby, both of whom were doing just fine.
Lying in a hospital bed, Rinku recounted that as she squatted in the toilet, “there was a mild pain”. To her surprise “the baby came out, chord, placenta and all”.
“But before I could realise what had happened, it slipped through the hole. I became hysterical, came out of the toilet and jumped from the train,” she said.


Later in the afternoon, they realized that the baby was a boy.
