The rise of Delhi’s census gets a proof when you come across some people who say that it’s their first time. I just wonder if the whole Delhi climbs up the metro, what it would be like…
1. That day metro would have oxygen cylinders (and air fresheners of course. Thanks to the hot and spicy cuisine of north India and some of our hairy mates).
2. For Boarding and de-boarding people would also use emergency exit.
3. With so much crowd couples would spend a lovable time in the metro CLOSE to each other, rather than in Public Parks and monuments. (Archeology department would be quite happy that day)
4. People would tie dupattas on the handles to stand with a support.
5. The amount of pick pockets would make the burglars richer than people in the reality shows. 6. The untouchability stigma would just disappear else you’ll be thrown out.
7. People would become coolies as there would be no place to keep the luggage. People will keep on bumping their heads on the emergency button and giving fines (DMRC would earn huge profits. Maybe the amount collected can rebuilt new routes, so one day you will have the metro at your doorstep! Too dreamy…chuck it!)
8. You can imagine slumber fights going on making waves all across the bogies with people pushing, kicking, and beating each other.
9. The cupid will get extra arrows and will throw them all across, as some of the love stories would definitely build up in the metro with things falling (I mean books and bags here you dirty fellow) here and there. And it usually starts with ‘may I help you’ and then end up asking for names and the rest of the work is done by adding the person facebook.
10. People will get lost in the train. It will become Kumbh Mela part II. Movies will have dialogues, “main apne bhai se metro mein bichada tha”
11. While some people will meet their old pals and relatives. You might bump into the irritating professor from college on whom you played the wackiest pranks.
12. And if by chance the metro would stop for some reason then…it’s upto your imagination.
Well there are endless things which I can add to this list but I have miles to go before I leap safely in my daily metro travel!
haahahaa... funny it is!!!
ReplyDeletebut the 12th point is deadly and too scary to imagine! :P
