Virar Fast

The local trains can be a lot of fun most of the time. With mobile phones becoming something you cannot live without (much like oxygen and water) most of the bedroom conversations, fights with your boyfriends, and your annoying boss nagging you has come out in the open now.
You cannot avoid a lady screaming out ‘HELLO’ at the top of her voice…. like if she got any louder the person she is trying to get in touch would hear her. Gossip is something that catches my attention at once, once you get to know who the characters in the conversation (that is if you are a listener and have good analytical skills) are, an hour flies like a walk in the park.
The other thing that is fun is reading text messages. I don’t mean your own but the lady standing in front of you (try this only in a crowded train or else you will be in big trouble). Thought it’s not like she is imparting some valuable information or a secret formula, but a nice way to pass your time in a crowded train…. and the chances of you getting beaten up are zilch.
I realized that the people who suffer the most are first time travelers. They seem like they have landed on an alien planet and don’t know what to do. Like seems so difficult during that time. For their traveling pleasure they must be provided with a user manual, according to me it should be much like this:

Respect the FAT and the UGLY or you will be beaten up brutally. (avoid getting in bad books with them, or else you face will be shoved thru the window)

Secure your belongings before you enter the train: ( If you are robbed, no one is to be blamed that the information was not passed on)


Leave your home an Hour early in case you want to get a ticket. (Cause this line is longer than the queue at the entrance of hell)

The trains will be crowded at 12.30 in the night as well. (so don’t be astonished and think you are hallucinating)

Seeking a girl in holy matrimony, wait for the ladies special. ( Here you will be familiar with their ground realities)

New friendship will bloom here, TRAIN BUDDIES FOREVER. (you might have an oath taking ceremony thereafter where you will pledge to make your fellow traveler’s life miserable)

Vocabulary building session. (if traveling in the first class you will be accustomed to learn new sophisticated ways to insult, abuse and let down your enemies. And for the second class travelers get ready to be beaten up…….cause no one will give you a chance to speak.)
