People you would have met in Delhi metro!
Metro
Travel equals Praying time - Keeping holy books in
their posh bags is old Fashioned. Now what they like to do is use Airtel 4G network
to search the Hymn for the day. NO! they don't search "Hymn for the
weekend", though it's a nice song to search for ;) .
All
dolled up- Heavy make-up while traveling is intolerable.
How do they manage this and those pencil heels while travelling! Have you ever tried
catching an auto in those. It's next to impossible!
The
Ultimate talker- They generally have two phones (a Smartphone
and a Nokia C2) and all their talks, boss' stories, relationship stories, Mom's advice,
yelling on your junior, planning for that party, never-ending talk with a friend
are done in metro only. I wonder how do they get the signal .I also own a decent
phone with a decent SIM still I face signal problems :(
Eyes on your phone- The ones who just keep looking in your phones
, reading every damn conversation and email you are doing. Or just observing your
Facebook activities. That's most annoying,
really.
Like this! They won't let you know!
So
called aged - I remember, once when I was
travelling, I sat on the Reserved seat for the aged people because there weren't
any prospective aged in my compartment that time. I mean why leave it empty? After
few stations when there arrived one and I offered the seat, she refused to have
it saying, " No beta, Keep
sitting, after all, I am not that old" .You are right Aunty, you were not
that old ! and you can never be. Sorry for this!
Very
busy ones - Mostly school students on weekends
attending coaching classes. The moment they sit, they open their books and start
discussing their doubts. Perhaps, the perfect use of their long journey with friends. After all who doesn't
like gossiping!
Police
with their pets -You would not have met them had you
not travelled in Red line! Forget the Dabangg policeman,( I used the word "Dabangg"
because they do wear black aviators sometimes) the security dogs are just so cute,
mostly Labrador or Alsatian but you just admire them so much. Bad for you if you
haven't travelled in red line. ;)
Make
up but only in DMRC mirror - All nice and clean and
they mess their look by getting ready looking in the Metro gate mirror. Some do
have mirrors with them also but seriously, moving metro, passengers and make-up
makes no sense.
The
Reader and the Gamer - They are in their own world
of fantasy, be it a novel or a game(No candy crush for God's sake).I once bumped
into my school friend who was waiting at
the metro station and not boarding the metro because she was just two pages behind
finishing off her novel. Embarrassed on me knowing this, she definitely
regretted meeting me that day.
Music
is my breath- These are the people who come in
metro all messed up and running out of breath, frantically huffing and puffing,
still the first thing they do when they enter is - earphones, I can't live
without them!
The one
with as many bags as kids - They have a luggage
bag, a sling bag , a clutch bag and a shoulder bag and also small kids to handle. I seriously believe
after this that there should be a Baggage Handling System for all Metro stations,so that your bags could reach your destination station internally handled by DMRC. Wouldn't
it be so great ,no luggage to bother for! It will reach Kashmere gate by the
time I reach there. Because that pushes, people with big bags give to other
people are real pain. Lol!
The
Sleeper- Perhaps the best utilisation of time, hehe.....
They board metro with the intention that they have to have that so needed power
nap. Mostly found during evening metro travel and beware because they might use
your shoulder as their pillow.
