Trains

For all of u who dont believe in god..u should travel in mumbai locals(trains)once...and just experience that feeling once....
i just admire all(millions) people who commute everyday.
TRAINS have become an inseparable part of mumbai,me.
As far as i go i travel in first class but the enormous amount of people in second class is just tremendous
The huge number of bodies just pile in day in day out....just getting on the train is difficult sometimes even in vasai....let alone nxt stations...peak hrs even worse.So why do ppl do it...
why go through such a tormenting situation everyday(of course some might say they have to since they dont have any option)
I got another sort of theory...ppl dont like to be left out...i know its like a simple statement but means a lot....why do so many ppl come to mumbai everyday is just baffling but i think its lot to do with trains...
Mumbai is a great place to be in...as in people will accept u for what u r(its like being totally ignorant)nobody gives a damn......when in trains same thing goes but while getting on they just have to help each other or there might not be "a tommorrow".....this does sound too far-off but i dont think ppl who commute everyday will disagree....before getting on its a fight and after u r in train u just have to cooperate to exist(talking about the ppl near doorway)
There is a lot of camaraderie between strangers when on the train....knowingly(there r n number of groups formed)or unknowingly....People learn the art of cooperation and the fact that so many souls are present in such a close vicinity helps them to evolve better
(what am i talking about.....vanderwaals forces-scientific term....
it exists between all beings....I really like the movie matrix,animated version also...i teaches a lot of relevant things)

I travelled for four yrs by train....from vasai to belapur(college was there for three yrs,first yr till nerul which is beyond vashi)
The First time i was supposed to travel by train to college(first day to college alone) i thought it was no big deal and just got on lazily just before the train left in a packed second class at vasai.....i didnt know one bit of what i was getting into.... at one point my bag even touched the pole beside the tracks...somehow managed to get in.....but after a while i almost fainted....learnt a lesson the hard way...after that like normal ppl got on early....Somehow managed the four yrs...have to say it was a long journey everyday but it taught me a lot(mostly what not to do...learnt a lot from others mistakes) For last 2-3 Semesters i left early and caught a 6.31 am Dadar local daily.....just to reach early to college and study/finish assignments(me not boasting just stating the truth) so i avoided heavy rush...and it was relatively comfortable.

There was an article from DNA....which had the Heading 'How it feels like to be last on God`s to help list....was by a local commuter i think...it was all about how difficult it is.... there was this really good line.....moans heard in the train must resemble those in hell of souls being tortured but i think its like a blessing in disguise...u just have to look within.
Sometimes touch heals a lot of things.

Being on trains helps us to realise we are a part of whole
and also that though we are different we should travel alongside others to reach our goals which may also be different but as they say in end its the journey that matters and not the destination.
