A rare sight in Delhi Metro


I travel daily by metro. Spend almost 3-4 hours of the day in it. Listening to music, always observing people, overhearing their conversations, laughing on them, getting irritated and what not.
On daily basis I see them running for check post, entry, getting on the platform, getting into the train, getting out of the train. Everybody is in such a hurry to reach office and home in their respective timings. I know this is very usual to write or say because we kind of have accepted and known this fact that these days we have a fast life, we keep on running for things on day to day basis, from dawn to dusk and blah blah blah, shit shit shit.........

But unusually, I was travelling in the metro on an off day at a mid day time and there I get to see a very rare sight. As soon as I got out of the train, I saw 2 girls hugging each other for a long duration as they have met after a long period. Then I move forward and see a guy waiting for his girl at the end of the women's compartment, his eyes hoping to find her soon out of the bunch of ladies. I saw a man waiting for his wife and kids coming from their native place. I saw 2 college students with their luggage going to back to their hostels. This was indeed a rare sight for my eyes in a metro station.

Then I move forward, stop at a point, where I used to meet my somebody. I stopped there, hoping for that somebody to be there for me whenever I pass by. I take a deep breath, increase the volume of 'stand by me' by Oasis.

And I move forward observing some more silly people around and felt relaxing for the fact that I usually feel happy to see whats happening in other's life(yes u can say I am BITCH) but that is because I feel happy that my life is all smooth, empty, hollow and less of complication than others. :)

Know me, know me not?? Oops I am clean & transparent !!

With the use of social networking platforms , we call ourselves totally transparent, express ourselves overtly to the world being a anonymous yet a known identity. Can we call this transparency?? Read on !!


We spit out whatever we feel and think, good or bad, seductive or repellent, funny or irritating. Here we live in all together 2 different worlds.

We have 2 identities within us, a virtual and a real one. As i say 1 is "the real one" but I actually wonder which is real me. The virtual one consists my g talk,whats app, Facebook, twitter, blog, LinkedIn, Google+. (Yes the growing no.s of these also symbolize that I am a famous one in the virtual world. I have a family,friends,acquainted friends too.)


After being in both the worlds for these many years, I have realized that both the worlds do not connect to each other in many senses. Few of the people in each world are not part of my other world at all, does that mean they know only half of me ? Does that mean that I am a "dual personality person" ? Does that mean that they will never meet like my white and black shades or I will be in the ocean of the shade of grey knowing only things I want to tell them. Is this called transparency? Its true that we have privacy settings in every social platform so as to say.


Yeas I am into this deep ocean of who is part of my which world and to whom I have shared what in each of my worlds.


Yes finally I am going to update this to all the social networking sites I am using.
