Hello Friends,
While surfing the Internet I Found this Poem about MUMBAI
A very true story because I am still facing this problem....
Getting into a fast local train
from Virar station is not a strain.
But once you are on the inside
You find no seat on that side,
As passengers coming down
Leaves not a single one.
The train reaches Nallaspora
And you find the train is ‘Bhara’
It moves and reaches Vasai Road
And you will find no place to board.
Passengers however know how to go on,
As they know, not many get in at Naigaon.
Across the Bassein Bridge and comes Bhayandar
And now people are pushing each other.
At Mira Road the condition gets worse,
With people hanging out, standing on their toes.
At Dahisar the plight of the train is the worst,
It is like a human balloon about to burst.
People keep getting in with the belief
That Borivali will bring some relief,
As quite a few passengers would alight.
But others get in, all ready to have a fight.
Comes Andheri, and half the crowd is gone
Making space to move up and down.
Bandra does not make much of a difference,
But at Dadar it is a different circumstance,
As people coming by the Central and Harbour train,
Who want to go to Churchgate, make it crowded again.
Thereafter the Churchgate fast halts at stations,
Only to drop people at their respective destinations.
You find more people alight and a few board
At Bombay Central, Grant Road and Charni Road.
So it is at Marine Lines, and finally comes Churchgate.
But alas, after all the struggle, the train is late!
Finally comes the day’s biggest disaster -
You are a few minutes late for the muster.
