Travelling through mumbai's trains !!
Travelling by mumbai's locals its hectic job i think no mumbaikar will require to go any adventure camp if he travels through the local trains of mumbai ...
I started my local travelling long back in child hood but as per I remeber ... my first central railway travelling from dadar station I did when I was in 4th std ...before tht also i trvelled but from Curry Rd to vt(now cst) or frm lower parel to churchgate ...but i remeber first time i travelled frm dadar to dombivli with my mawshi(aunty) ... she used to work as nurse in K.E.M. & live in dombivli...first time i seen rush on station more than i used to see on the day of ganesh visarjana... well as i ws below 12 yrs i ws travelling by ladies only ....
platform kramank 2 war yenari gadi dombivlila janari jalad local ahe & blah... blah... blah ...the announcement ws gng on ...and the train came ... & one should have seen all ladies they were preparing for some dharmayuddhha ... all put folds of their sarees in theirside of waist to make it to half & were ready to jump in train with their bags of vegitable & other stuff bought near by dadar station ...even my aunty was ready ...she had tension to put me in train ...finally train came &we got inside it ..first of all there is no space for stnding also infact i got a sit offered by some lady
i have seen in many countries they prvide many entertainment stuff in trains ... really there is no need of entertainment in mumbai local trains especially in ladies ... one can hear all national news channels through nonstop pakpak of ladies in every possible laguage... all kind of home series frm kyoki to avantika... all econiomic views through there chatting with railway hawkers ...even one can get a chance to see WWE(if he is lucky!) if some water of fish fells on some woman by any koli woman...or one woman looses her seat by any mistake...etc.
well time is more precious than life for mumbaikar...& no mumbai kar wastes his time during trvelling also ... u can see some of them will be getting a sleep of an hour which they loose casue of getting up early in home....one wl be reading paper ...some one will be keeping his or her bussiness account ... some one will be hearing songs on FM or earing sixer of sachin...some one will b trying to arrange his daughter's marriage ... some wl be doing meditaion(mumbai local is very nice place to do yoga)...& some lovebirds will be enjoying their romance too ... but the most happening thingis shopping & singing bhajans in trains ....
one can buy almost every kind of requirement in local ...from fruites to papad ...frm junk jewellery to dress material & frm badminton to hight growing souls... u wl get swasta ani masta (cheap &quality) stuff only u have keep your eyes & mouth open ...dont open your years more ; u may hear many illigal things !!!
bhajan mandalis r the part of local train one can hear marathi & hindi bhajans while standing on dombivli fast or virar fast local...well some of public might oppose them ....well appart from bhajan mandalis one can meet some teenagers going for picnic singing songs & doing jokes on behaviour of people in train ....but some times even it goes hectic !
as singing comes we cant forget the beggers of local trains ....singing keshva madhva with himesh reshmiya style they try to collect some(?) money for their living (or more than a living?) well now keshwa madhava is a old one now one can hear all popsongs also...
well simply travelling in the mumbai train is noting but livng an another life....mumbai local has its own culture created ! and really it does not stop nly till train the culture has spread till its surroundings...it has created human feelings for helping nature ...cooperating each other in problems (even some people dont do cause all fingures r not the same!)...the feelings riched through people but via train!!!
i salute mumbai....mubaikars ...& mumbai local ...who has taught everyone to live in mumbai!!!!
