Inspired by a famous Hindi number that starts as follows:
"Gaadi Bulaa Rahi Hai, Seeti Bajaa Rahi Hai, Chalna Hi Zindagi Hai, Chalti Hi Ja Rahi Hai".
About a mode of transport thought I pen as its something special
as in Mumbai, we fondly refer it to as the LOCAL .
One look, from outside, any bystander, would think if its really sane
to travel in it as though one will have endure lot of physical pain.
It is something that has become a part of people's lifeline
as in it, you have to travel in itn without even letting out a whine.
You may have to cut across people and their shoulders, arms etc brush
to be able to travel to your destination in the maddening rush.
Ist,IInd,ladies,handicapped and luggage are the different class
in the train by which travel majority of the city's mass.
Westren, Central and Harbour are the lines it runs
and transports people, day and night, in the millions!!
Depicts the picture, the train, of a metropolitan life
which also has happiness amidst all the strife.
At times, the look of the local may look cool and swanky
and worst maybe when you find its not clean and stinky.
Traveling in the local is an unbelievable experience
yet sometimes it could be a real pain and nuisance.
Especially when you aren’t able to locate the direction
of where is out to come the alighting station!!
Yet at times, you may make a train friend
who would remain, maybe in life, till the very end.
That would make the travel really a pleasure
and experiences that one may think to treasure.
Like any Mumbaikkar,on a regular basis, as i travel
many things about the local, iam still out to unravel.
Hence, about these, to all, my limited views, thought i narrate
and curiosity, especially among the outsiders, i try to create!!
