In the life of a students lecture.....

"ORGANISATON OF COMMERCE" writes our professor within minutes of his entering the class with bunch of students coming out from nowhere behind him like loyal dogs to attend his lecture...
Then starts his explanation about his half done answers which students r least bothered to listen....All eyes are moving with his hands unzipping and opening his bag and romoving out the much awaited attendence sheet for which more than half of the class is present in the class...some turning up after ages, showing their faces once in a blue moon to sign the proxies......
The professor is, am sure, aware about such happenings but choses to ignore them much to the delight of the students....
All kinds of movies,current affairs, coll fests, plans for hangout after the collge are being cooked up while the prof goes on teaching some parts of management....... some students bring books to complete, some to study for their tests, students good or bad whatever it mite b just try their hands at drawing various masterpieces which include the cartoon or a potrait of the prof himself..The book passes from one hand to another hand making additions and editing the masterpiece and out of worst a somehow a M.F.Hussain is born.... Songs, pics,videos, messages are all exchanged during the lecture thanks to the invention of "The Bluetooth".... Students are alll in their own sweet world ahhh...how wonderful!!!
Suddenly all are brought to the real world when the prof picks up a student and starts asking questions... The student fumbles something, the teacher completes the answer for him and asks him to sit,feeling satisfied that the student has understood what he has explained... He is always in such a wrong impression no matter how wrong the student might be...
Somewhere among the backbenches a beep goes off. All the student turn their heads towards it.. The voice is gone unheard by the prof..... The students giggle among themselves being glad at not being caught for the mobile ringing....
After sometime the students lose patience and start stealing glances of their watches and of the bored expressions on their peers.... waiting for the prof to leave early... but for the rotten luck the students have, the prof leaves only when the bell goes off..not a moment before and not a moment after.. just at the ring of the bell...
Students get out of the class, bored, tired, totally exhausted, to get freash for the next lecture and continue their routine. They come and venture out of the class, do all things during the lecture accept listening to the prof.. who is still under the impression and glad that he teaches well and soo had the class full......

mumbai local.....

ouch..!
shit...hmmm.
.grasp....awwaaa......ohhhhh..
hey..wait a sec will u....
no not like this this way....please... u hurting me......keep ur hand this way......no no...omg!!!


hey hey guys keep ur thoughts 2 urself ......dont start imagning things so soon....this is the situation one finds themselves in the ladies coach of borivile trains...i think virar trains are worse than this.......
The time one spends one travelling in the locals of mumbai is just amazing.....and an adventure worth experiencing...... the local trains r not always crowded except in the peak hours.....wen everyone has to hurry....some to reach their office in time, some to keep thier appointments, some to attend the coll(this category is the smallest coz nt all students r soo eager to attend lec except wen some have practicals or exams...etc..)


All mumbaikars traveling in the locals everyday have memorized the train time tables basically... so its not a problem most of the time when the indicators showing the timings of the trains r not working or wen the trains which r announced as churchgate going suddenly r bandra going(obviously the mistake of the indicator and the announcer) or vice versa.....


Any time u get bored or r really pissed off and just want to b away frm someone just go on the railway station...... the most happening place of the city...... just observe the people around u .........u vill find a small replica of INDIA there.... u will find someone with their kin and kils.. someone trying to keep their children away from the stalls, someone grabing a quick bit on the stall before the train arrives, people also get updated abt the latest news without paying, though not all do dat, they just stand besides the WHELLER stalls on the stations.. these stalls on the plateform r a boon to many people...u get most of the famous magzines newspapers... some also keep lateast novels...all the novels of Chetan Bhagat were sold within days...coz of their popularity....There r taporis, in mumbaiya language, on the stations though rarely on the station mostly in the trains who find immence amuzement in abusing ladies, making faces etc...... all have learnt by now to ignore such crooks..... u mite come across many engrossed in reading novels on the platforms, listening to music through radios, mobiles ipods etc has become a common sight nowadays........there r many more sights which r sure to take ur mind off ur problem!!!


The funniest part i feel here is the alighting and boarding the train, its abosolutely automatic i feel....just stand in the crowd in the train if u want to get off the train the work is done for you here..no worries!!! once u alight from the packed train to ur desired
destination u then instantly r bound to make sure that whether u have all ur belongings or no........ or if u have anybody with you seeing to it that all have alighted the train........and then u find get in the train the same way you find youself in the situation which i described in the beginning...... u get full body massage done in the train with the pushes.......only at the cost of the fare u pay......

There r trains specially for the ladies in the morning and in the evenigs.......all the women in their lifetime of train travels should once travel in the ladies special......the train is practically a shop for the shopkepers.....u get most of the things from pin to piano...... u get hairclips, joke books, mehnendi books, dress materials, tops, trousers, stickers, pen set, erasers, scissor, gum, stirrer, small rubber bags used for keeping hoy water for massages.........m not at all exaggerating having seen all these.....ahh u even some times get the sandles, cheap,only for 60 bucks and soo on..........the vegetable sellers, the fruit sellers are never behind........


The difference in the first and the second class compartments is visible as though seen through from a glass...... in the first class u find people highly sophisticated, even a small push from some ones bag is enough to make smart comments, though never a fight is started....serenity dwells here even wen the compartment is jam packed.....except for the commtion made my the college kids who r amature to train travels again here not by all....... the second class is alll time put on high volume in trble mode with the speakers with bass effects phew!!!..........

The commuters taking their fixed trains have become like a close knitted family always ready to help others .......... no caste no creed is necessary to b eligible to b the member of the vast family traveling by train............... so just make sure u travell by mumbai local once to enjoy and have a lovely time..........
