Bheedh bhadaaka

As the Train enters the platform people start counting on the number of people in front of them in the queue. People always wonder whether ever they’ll get a seat in the metro.this thought worries people like me who have to travel all the way from one end to the other. But in case you are standing at the front, all your wishes are granted. People would be looking at you with those wishful eyes and you’ll be holding the royal smirk. But when you are at C.P station you just hope to be somewhere in between...else you will recall the newton’s laws and you’ll understand that they are not favouring. Apart from being scientific, artistically too the placerment of people in the full metro is amazing to see. You will see the girlfriend and boyfriends always in the corner. If you don’t see them, they’ll reach there anyhow after two stations. Besides the corner, the middle part is mostly full of children holding on to the poles and running and swinging along and sometimes falling too. My mothers worries about them more than their mothers. Once she scolded a mom of a 2 year old who had a humpty dumpty fall. Imagine what could be my reaction. (it was like--- ! O ! ? ) when you are sitting you have no other option then to look outside or ur phone or your book or dnt know maybe the empty spaces. But never try to look at the people who are standing (untill and unless they are good looking) else they’ll expect you to pick up their hot lunch boxes and the oil will pour all over you. But sometimes when you have space you can always try to hold something, basic courtsey and the smile from them may make your day. This is life and this is the smiling life in a metro!
