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. :)
