I have been wanting to write on this for quite some time now however due to scarcity of time , couldn't pen it down.
Traveling by metro is an experience in itself and one does come across interesting set of people. More so when, daily commute is of two hours. Let me jot down about the most interesting types that I have observed:
1) The narcissist: Boys/men of all age groups, who spend good amount of their commute time by observing their own reflections on door/window glasses and feeling happy and contented. Never mind the occasional bald patch or the paunch.
2) The showstoppers: ladies/girls fit the bill. Perfect height, perfect hair, perfect skin tone, enviable physique combined with tasteful clothes and accessories. Time of the day doesn't matter to them. Whether it's the morning commute or late evening return, they appear just perfect.
3) The Music Jockeys: Another interesting lot; they tend to play their preferred music so loud that even if you are two coaches away, the music will be clearly audible and you can dance to the beats! I really don't understand why do these people use headphones/earphones?
4) The Book worms: These set of people are very much attached to their books and journals. So much is the attachment, that they tend to continue reading even while walking down the platform, sometimes coming dangerously close to the edge.
5) Sleeping beauties: These people manage to take power naps even if they are standing. While seated, their snoring keeps other passengers awake and wide eyed!
6) The foodies: Though eating is prohibited inside the metro trains, somehow these people manage to smuggle in their burgers and shakes and have good time while traveling. Bon appetit to them..
7) Chatterboxes: specially the women/ girls fall in this category. They have inexhaustible energy and can yap for hours without showing any trace of tiredness.
8) The web series enthusiasts: These group is always hooked to their mobiles or tablets, devouring the episodes of current popular web series. Their engrossment level sometimes make them travel beyond their designated destinations!
So these are few of the passenger types i daily find during my metro commute..
Now, one may ask in which category do I belong? That I leave on my fellow passengers to decide ..
