Is this Amchi Mumbai??
Well one would aspire to hear the rocking line of Munna Bhai MBBS with Vidya Balan screaming in her sweet voice, saying "Gooooddd mmoorrrnning Mumbai".. every day and we would step out with a smile on our face and a will to have a fantastic day...
Sounds good, doesn't it ??
Every morning, i wake up, with a will to have a fantastic day (ofcourse) and sometimes even have one... But these fantastic days, are one of those when i leave either very late for work or happen to work on a weekend. You wondering why ?? Have a look at the pic posted and take a guess 'Which is MY hand!!' [Now your wondering "What connection to travel and my hand"]
Its the pic of a Virar local, bound for Churchgate (a First class compartment...i think it must have been 9:30am) .. All you can see is hands, hands and hands .... different colours, sizes and ofcourse with different things in them. Imagine all those people standing inside, there " isin't enough space for hands... the human body is still bigger in size" .
Even animals when loaded in trucks, still have space for themselves !! [i would summon Maneka Gandhi here]
When the government and railways boast about making mega profits, providing services for the common man blah blah blah... Do they mean 'Rinsing the common man in an over crowded train and selling his blood and ofcourse providing services to make this rinsing less painful' ??
I wish Maneka Gandhi and Laloo Prasad Yadav traveled in this train sometime, in such a state...
Laloo's buttery cheeks would get squeezed and sucked into his jaws, with his nose stuffed into someone's armpit and he would get off (at his destination ofcourse) smelling of others mehenat ka pasina, without his dhooti, which would be stuck somewhere in the gangway...
Maneka Gandhi on the other hand wouldn't be much better.... Gotten sqeezed,rinsed and battered she would go back her animals and say "You guys are much more lucky... You'll travel comfortably and then get slaughtered, whereas these Bombayites travel in pathetic conditions and still get slaughtered for our (politicians) sins".
Is this what these First or second class citizens pay such taxes for.... is this a morning that a mumbaite lives for, unless he believes that he should feel every human in the train, close to his chest, smell and mingle with his sweat, but still not ask his name!!
Sounds like hell, does it ?? infact worse that it.... Politicians call it 'Amchi mumbai', is this really mine or your own??
