Today after a lot of time (2 months) I could get a chance to return home in a local train..and the feeling was so perfectly familiar and kinda made me feel good....Travelling in local trains makes you feel so much a part of Mumbai that no other thing can...the usual bustle to get in..standing for some time...then getting to sit on the fourth seat...then jumping in the third seat when you get a chance and then gaping when will you get the window....and then staring out of it...it all so perfectly falls in place and you realise thats there is such a strong connect to it....you actually miss it at times! The characters there..interesting family of four...the guy looked visibly poor..had a couple of kids, the youngest kid of about 5 had no footwear, looked in complete mess, the wifey looked as if shes not eaten for a year, and then this guys brings out his sparkling new Nokia and one by one all of them talk to someone in Village...one all you can do is sit and be amazed as how this city actually makes not just two but multiple twains meet so seamlessly!
