Local Trains of Mumbai-Lessons Learnt

Mumbai is a city of life...struggle..passion...fashion...films...dreams...successs...failures...but most importantly...Mumbai is a city of people...Mumbaikars as we call dem...

Travelling frm one place to anothr is an imp issue in d lives of Mumbaikars...they hv to either struggle in traffic jams or struggle in over-crowded trains...its a simple routine of a simple Mumbaikar...

I am a hardcore local train traveller...my day starts nd ends with travelling in these local trains frm d past 7 yrs...Nd dats d reason i would lyk to share sum of my learnings frm these gud to worst nd dangerous to peace-loving local trains...

Thousands of eyes awaiting for a 9-coach or a 12-coach train is like thousands of cats waiting to pounce upon a bunch of mice....People rush in to board d train as if its a matter of life nd death to dem...

Boarding a train requires a lot of Strength nd Strategies..U need to calculate evry move of urs...would u jump into d train before it halts...or would u allow every1 to get in nd thn board last...would u stand outside on d door or would u go nd sit inside...Everything has to be PLANNED in advance...dats wat is needed frm us in our lives...well v need to plan our goals in advance so as to njoy its comforts later...

U need to run..u need to leap..u need to push d crowds...u NEED TO MAKE UR WAY...goes for both Trains as well as Life...

U need to calculate...u need to wait...u need to hv PATIENCE to board d train of life peacefully...

The people in d local train teaches us TEAM WORK..CO-ORDINATION...thr r teams nd groups made in d trains..u nned to adjust to dem..their rules nd regulations...work in co-operation...oderwise d results are quite dangerous...

Yess...Dangerous in d sense dat u culd c d worst Cat-Fights nd Dog-Fights possible in d local trains...I hv learnt to Fight Lyk Neva Before frm these local trains...An Ode To Virar trains....Gosh..u learn to abuse...to hit...to slap...till d extent of ppuuling each odr's hair nd nt allowing the odr person to get down...U got to learn to b a FIGHTER...coz its d SURVIVAL-OF-D-FITTEST...

Simultaneously..it teaches us to LOVE..BE COMPASSIONATE ND HELP PPL IN DISTRESS...everybody cums for an instant help if sumbody is feeling ill...dehydrated...lost sumthing...giving place to sit to an old lady...u learn to spread love nd be caring towards odrs..

These local trains of Mumbai is a small fragment representing India which shows how Multi-cultural nd Multi-faceted things can b...

U learn to Love...
U learn to Hate...

U learn to smile..laugh nd giiggle...
U learn to cry...sob nd weep...

U lean to be patient...
U learn to be impatient...

U learn abt hottest gossip nd news..
U crib abt d routine nd stagnant news...

U learn to Network wid ppl accross genres...
U learn to create enemies wid ppl accross genres..

U learn to buy d cheapest of hair-clips nd accessories..
