Its been just around 20 days that I have been commuting on Delhi Metro and I have already had some fun, weird and memorable experiences. I will try to list them here chronologically.

Day 5: A fat aunty awakes me from my peaceful sleep.

Three hours in metro everyday and you ask me what I do? Sleep! So one fine day I was sleeping in the metro, with mouth open and all that. A very fat lady came and sat next to me and brought with her a lot of anxious motion and noise. I opened my eyes for a while and then chose to ignore. At Rajeev Chowk metro station she nudged me on my arm and said, “Uth jaa, Rajeev Chowk aa gaya!.” But I had not asked her to wake me up. In all moral courtesy I replied, “Mujhe Kashmiri Gate utarna hai” and was back to my slumber almost in a jiffy. She nudged me again after may be 2 or 3 minutes, “Uth jaa, ladkian aise metro me ni soti”

Ask me if I really had a choice! But yes, while I was off from metro, I couldn’t resist laughing.

Day 13: My first live PDA telecast.

To all those who are thinking PDA’s have become quite common. Well I guess, I am mostly asleep to notice anything around. But after this incident, I have sure become vigilant (devil laughter). So I really saw this! In a jam packed metro, people on top of each other kind of crowded. A couple was standing in between the two coaches connecting the ladies coach and the coach next to it. My eyes suddenly went on them and I saw them kissing. While at first I thought it must have been a mistake. It happened again, twice, thrice and four times before they got down. Though I find all of it really cute, but in a metro full of people who have nothing else to do then stare here and there, did I see this really?

Day 17: Comedy Nights with Kapil

Well, this is the funniest! I feel guilty and apologetic while sharing this but if someone just next to you is talking on phone in metro, you have no choice but to listen. Even if you really don’t want to, the words just get heard!

So the girl sitting next to me on this particular day was talking to somebody and what she said was epic. I really exercised a lot of self control that day to not burst into a laughter.

Here goes what she said, “Saale tune mjhe 2 saal se birthday pe kuch ni dia, pichle birthday pe kaha tha sth sth dilaege, is par sth, aur mila kya mjhe, BABAJI KA THULLU!“
