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..........
