Mumbai or Bombay commonly known to all India , is seriously a different nation where Indian citizen got an authority to just enter without any passport(But seriously they are thinking about this type of system). When I came here, I was actually amazed to see our nation’s financial capital which was in no way connected to whole India but of course sharing largest chunk of our economy.
I start with local trains
Local trains
<!--[endif]-->
Journey starts with taking train tickets, where situation is just like other station. But when you start climbing staircase , feeling of being in Mumbai overpowers you. Finally when you arrive at platform and start searching for the right one , the dumbest fellow of Mumbai glance at you as you are the dullest one on the earth. Either you are a Champion of Sidharth Basu’s Master mind , but if you don’t know the timing of trains and platform side, then you are total useless fellow.
When you first see the train , some doom’s day type feeling will come to your mind. Seriously they fight in such a manner that you feel ,world is going to be destroyed, and this is the last train which will save you. so be inside or die.
But as soon as you enter the train , Darwin’s theory of survival for fittestone will start working. One who got the ball will get the hanging handle and proper space to adjust his two legs. But for unlucky one(most of us), situation is same as of old ragging days, and I swear that they are more harsh than your senior in term of pushing and abusing.
After inhaling countless stinking armpits , when you finally decide to surrender and come out to the station , then you find yourself as Abhimanyu surrounded by thousand of Kaurav as you don’t know how to get out of this TRAIN –Vyuh. They want you to suffer for the darkest Sin you have ever committed, that is coming to Mumbai. But no doubt some Krishna are also there who will guide you about which side of train you should fight for , and then he smiles as some Sadhu mahatma. Indeed you should thank him as he saved you from the 5 minutes of hell.
But if Shani Maharaj is very much with you, then a T.T will come and ask for a ticket for such suffering. You start searching and suddenly you realize that you lost it. T.T will start smiling with his famous punch line “Nawa hai kya sehar me. Kaun Gaon se aaya hai”(either you come from Delhi or London , every place except Mumbai is gaon). Now a day, flight comes in one rupee but the penalty of this suffering will be 300 to 400.
But wait the game is not over. When you start paying he with great smile on face tells you” aare achha hai kamsekam purse or mobile to sahi salamat hai” as i should expect of loosing all those thing in train.
But soon you become the part of this life. You start ragging other new Abhimanyu of this trainvyuh.
