This post is not about how happening Mumbai is... And how we kill Delhi in partying... It's not about there are so many options in and around Bandra.
Neither about describing how Marine drive feels like heaven...
I just saw someone which inspired this post... The pic at the end of the post.
He boards the train everyday from Dombivli to CST. To this day he missed this train only twice... "the train arrived before time. I was not at fault" he mumbles.
While everybody else were gearing up for a hectic day in the pathetic condition of the trains,
he waits for the train expectantly.
He waits expectantly with a tinge of smile on his face, for, He awaits the smiling faces of his friends...
He awaits a familiar face signalling him where to get in.
Boarding the train is a painful task, but when you have friends who pull you in with ease, the world is sorted.
He gets inside the train and immediately turns left, where a familiar face gets up from his seat and offers it to him..
Yes these are his friends. He doesn't even know where they live or what they do.
All he knows is that they are his "Train friends". The faces have over the years changed with many new ones coming in and the old ones going out. They are the ones who spend 1 odd hour everyday with him. And He Loves it.
Finally when they get down at CST, the return journey train times are decided and what snack each one is going to carry. And post which each one departs his own way...
After a super hectic day in office, he is on his way back to CST. he stands outside the station for his friends.
Surprisingly, he has reached there first today.
He looks around the buildings and the roads. He never stopped and admired them. he had been too busy to see how beautiful, the Mahanagarpalika building looked, or How Royal the CST station building was.
"Perhaps this is the reason why they named it VT originally" he ponders...
He is lost in observing the city when he was brought back to reality by his friends. They were calling him out...
"Ohh... Ho Ho Aalo me" saying which he joins them.
back again in the Rat Race. A Happy Rat Race.. For he knows, He'll get to observe this wonderful city someday, And No one would disturb him...
