Looking out on the small crowded compartment of the Local Train is a tough job!! Mumbaikars know this very well, and are very well known to this situation. To an outsider, who has never boarded a local train in Mumbai, well, you have missed an oppurtunity to be massaged in every possible places on your body, even in those places, which you never thought existed. I am one of those Lucky (Unlucky) passenger who boards the train at the peak hours to travel to my destination every day. Believe me its an adventure every day. And everyday brings its own surprises. I have been massaged in my every part of the body, mind you, EVERY part!!!!
Seasons change but the Local trains of Mumbai, they remain almost unchanged!!!! You will face the crowd almost everyday. You then take it as a part of your life and continue to exist with it as a sybiotic relationship s built on it. When it's summer, the crowd inside is sweating too and you become one of the crowd and you smell the same too. Trust me, whatever Deo you apply, does not work!! The power of sweat of about hundred people is so strong that, Deo does not work. In the Rainy Season, well you might be just able to climb the train dry, but the already existing wet person, might just rub off you and you end up wet. There is no escaping these things.
Daily adventures or misadventures in the train are very common. If I start writing on those, this blog will never end. So this is my way of actually saying that Local train travelling is very adventerous way of living!! But then every adventures in the same thing, you get tired. So I think I am tired of it!!!
Anyways, this blog is meant for the people who never have come to mumbai or travelled in a Local Train. Those who have might share with me the same views!! And for those who haven't, you are living a blissfull life. Enjoy it and dont complain!!!!
