Rail ghadi chuk chuk chuck chuck???????.
For my MS friends who are not well versed with Hindi?That Chuck was not the English chuck?.Its a Hindi word which describes the running of a train?.Although English word would have been a best fit there..
Friends I will take u to this amazing ride of Indian Railways in this review of mine..
Amazing was the only word I found which best suited?.Coz I m still amazed How I travel..
OK I will make it pretty clear ..Whatever I m gonna discuss now is only related to Mumbai Railways?though I feel it wont be much different anywhere else in India..
The Story Begins???.
Kiran enters KANJUR MARG Railway Platform hurriedly as usual as he is always a late lateef.. (For those who don?t know about the Station it?s a Central Railways Station which comes two stations after MULUND station if traveling towards CST (Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus)
He Sees the Indicator which reads 9:17 ST (Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus)..and giggles How can the Railways be so Digital.
Instead it should have shown a Range like 9:15 to 9:30 ST. My Mumbai friends will vouch for that.
Luckily the train arrives at 9:25 and the Speakers burst with a crackling sound like 100 crows singing Altaf Raja Number..well even 10 wud do..for his number. ?A Slow Local for CST is expected on Platform no 2? Kiran loves the Confidence of the authorities COZ they Expect the trains to come..Well still not sure of the arrival..
Kiran waits for his turn to Enter the Compartment but couldn?t find a place to land his Right leg in ..when his left leg is still on the platform?.AHHHHH a Sudden jerk and he finds himself Inside the Compartment while his Bag still partially outside Stuck with the ROD On the Entry?
Phew..the train moves?.Chuk chuk chuck chuck..
As soon as the trains catches momentum Kiran finds people making a grand entry into the compartment with stunts which wud even embarrass Rajnikanth ...Daiiiiiiii well no twisting of specs here?..
Inside the train Kiran feels he Is placed in equal parlance with the Astronauts of NASA..coz he loses gravity inside the train..both legs floating in air his specs turning into a living being and trying to jump from his nose..well two times it did succeed in Jumping..His shirt button getting attracted to those of others Inside with him?It?s a total Gunghhooo for the non living things?I guess they get back their life inside Mumbai Trains whereas Living beings almost reach hell?
Initially Kiran used to Iron his clothes and spray those Perfumes which he felt wud attract More females towards him?But he has just saved a few 100 bucks on this Utter waste of time and money?Now he is a proud traveller of Mumbai railways which just takes the railway fare but gives Value added service like
Free Ironing of clothes
Free Natural Deodrants and perfumes (well a Mixture of it) Perhaps some company shud travel and discover the new fragrance..
Free Massage...(Yes Don?t worry If u have a back ache or a neck ache just get into any Mumbai trains in peak hours?U got it rite, , , U wud be amazed How ur back ache vanished in span of minutes?
Free Entertainment (No entertainment tax)
The train is Approaching DADAR Station and suddenly u feel people forming many queues..Its Criminal to stand near the door if u r not going to alight ..
Well herez the time when u get to hear real humourous stuff..like the one I heard last time I travelled..
1st Person : Arre bhai DADAR Uttarna Hai ( HEY are u going to get down at DADAR)
2nd Person : Nahin Photo Nikalne Khada Hu (No , , I?m standing here to take my Snap.)
There are many such stuffs for which u love travelling ?
Train Arrives at Dadar Station and U find people rushing out like a herd of Wild buffaloes?and equally rushing IN?
But now u get an opportunity to have a fourth seat ..Ull find people of all types..Some reading Economic times Others Reading ?SAAMNA? Some others fiddling with their Mobile phones and a few catching the morning naps..at the delight of their neighbours shoulder..How romantic?..
Well If u have a Ladies compartment Just next to urs then ull find a lot of eyeballs coming out of the eye socket and just about to roll on the next compartment..
This site reminds me of a trip to the Zoo..when everyone seems to look what the animals inside the cage are doing..Well I don?t mean Women are animals ..No pun intended?
U r just feeling comfortable inside when u hear a famous Hindi number from a not so famous voice?eeks sometimes an irritating voice with the Harmonium throwing more soundbytes then the person singing..its usually after listening to first three lines that Kiran comes to know which Hindi song it is..
Now its Time to alight Kiran gets ready for the Final frontier..He gets up one station Prior to where he wants to alight?He Almost crawls his way thru the Passage ..Now comes his turn to get down But he is relaxed.
ASK WHY??Coz he knows it?s the time when he has to put minimum effort ?.HE just stands near the exit door and When the station arrives within 30 seconds he finds himself landed on the Platform?WELL he still doesnt know what happened and what made him come out so soon..Only he remembers is a Huge force which could make the train Run without Electricity being applied on him..
And the Rest IS PURE MUMBAI TRAIN TRAVEL MAGIC?.
HE finds his Clothes Properly Ironed atleast on some portions?HE’s not too confident to smell himself.. his shoes tells the story of the travel..His Hair gives him a Tom Cruise Look?
What An Amazing Journey?
Now I wud love the COMMENTS to follow like people ready to rush out and rush in from DADAR Railway Station .....
