Train Spotting


I love train travel! i know it sounds weird for anyone whose traveled in the Mumbai trains,but a train ride never fails to entertain me!Here are some interesting observations on Mumbai local train travel! Njoy!!!  

Train surfing

The act of hanging precariously onto any surface of a train that allows for grip while the train is in motion.Window grills,doors,on top of compartments and last but not the least onto other people!

Butt seat barging The desperate attempt of squishing a butt into the fourth seater in a train.

Train peeking
The restless tip toe to the edge of the platform in the hope of wooing a train to speed up its arrival.

That unceremonious clanging
The incessant chanting accompanied by the clanging of bells usually seen in the early morning trains.The more crowed the train the feverish the chanting and clanging! 

Face tickle therapy
 
The strands of deviant hair from the person in front of you, that makes it their mandate to tickle your face as you hang out of the train.


Deep tissue revitalizing treatment 
That unwanted,all intrusive full body massage, as a result of a number of sweaty bodies, in a little to close of comfort proximity.


Armpit space-maker 
The act of creating enough of space to breathe by making sure those around you cant.Letting your stinky armpits do the talking!

Head Shouldering
People using your shoulders as their head rests,this applies to the vertically challenged[like myself]

Jhatka Alarm
People who've nodded off to sleep suddenly losing their balance and waking up with a start.

Chindi Page 3's
People borrowing your Bombay Times, while you read the main newspaper.
