Mumbai Local Trains

How better can u know about local trains than ask a travelling Mumbaitie. The everyday frustration, anger, bad mouthing all gets vent out in this one heavenly place- Local train. Its just been 2 weeks since i have been travellin in the local trains and i say i have gained lots of patience and especially respect for those ladies who commute everyday. I mean just consider -How can u ever grow fat when u travel by the trains. I mean u generally stand all the way and even if u r sittin u get stamped by the persons who r standing. And then half your energy goes bad mouthing and cribbing about them to your co- passengers. Then also we can witness the fatest and the bulkiest ladies only in the local train. I havent ever seen such people when i travelled by bus or even in day to day life. But however they do clearly come to focus when the seat that can be occupied by 4 people turn to three( that also uncomfortably). People who want to get down at one station get at someother far ahead.
And the bhaji wale and the fisherwoman ( How can u forget them!!). They contribute to 40% of the frustration among the ladies with the lovely smell that they carry with them. And haan u also get highly educated with all the marathi gaalis.
All in all i am eagerly waiting for the damn rains to completely stop so that i can resume my goin to college by bike( which is HEAVENS...even though i used to crib about it before..never shall i again!!)
