The book then explains the reasons for their success. The book reveals these reasons in the form of six secrets. The first chapter draws links between Indian education system and Railways. It describes how there is a reservation on both systems and talks about the fixed tracks they run on. Railways run on various tracks but they are fixed in nature; just like the education system is fixed with its tracks. Another interesting similarity which the book talks about is that students sleep on the desk while the passengers sleep on the berths of the train.
