My first counter with MLT took place on one fine day when I along wid my friends wer to go to St. Xaviers College in South Mumbai for their annual fest MALHAR-09... We all started deeming for a taxi for the drive from Powai to St. Xaviers (first timer fools afterall)... but our heads were quick enough to reconsider towards the lifeline of Mumbai - the MLT...cheap and fast...ultimate time savers... no traffic problem... no pollution....
wer quite excited bout thought-to-be-comfortable journey!
At the Kanjurmarg RS... saw the MLT running with thousand boarders...while Mehul took the pain to hav the tickets...
Kanjurmarg is not that flooded.... could board the train wid lil pain...no seats ofcourse.... finally as the train moved....Ghatkopar saw a whole lot entering in....people were marching in like chese being distributed free...few even getting over the other....clashing onto foots... pinching with nails.... and the sweat droping on me like bullets of water...the scent more horrible than S**T making me abouta puke...making me too conjested to move my hand... some1 had just pressed againt my foot... my head was statued in one direction...only my eyeballs moved....but Kurla took to another level... i was packed off.... sandwiched in such a manner that made me hardly breathe...even the overfilled train looked on for more oncoming enthusiast travellers....my ribs were pressed hard for me to pain.... i was in equillibrium at about 75 degrees to horizontal... still still and breathing with the little oxygen that was lucky to reach my nostrils.... DADAR- mumbaikars needs no description bout it at all.... i wer to get off here... but i need not walk out... i found myself on the platform once i was in dadar... The whole lot inside moves out to clash wid the oncoming mighty boarders just to repeat the mahabharata... (ofcourse mahabharata of Gandhiji...no violence...)...even the platform gave a lot of time to recover to normal breathing... but the thought of boarding another dheemi local to marine lines made me step back... but my friends managed to take me in.... Oh! GOD! luckily...luckily..the train was miniaturely filled.... just got a seat... uuf... finally had a seat.... while I take a sigh of relief... noticed of a exciting play among a lover couple infront... it was really fun what i saw and heard among them... even my ipod couldnt stop me from engazing in the real-life play... had a small dose of entertainment before i reach Xaviers!
The first MLT tour was really an experience of lifetime... the next time I boarded I took a first class ticket only to find that the general compart was empty when I seat restless in the first class, thinking of breaching my pockets at no cause.... Since then... no expectations wid MLT.... A mumbaikar gets to any situation and so do I...
all's for tonight!
Goodnight...
