Amchi Mumbai.............

A couple of incidents i would like to share with u all.

1) This incident happened today morning in the 8:00 local.
the train had just left dombivli. one aunty in the adjoining compartment took out a book and started worshipping the sun god...and mind it...she finished the whole ritual in exactly five min...thats exactly the same time the train takes time to reach Diva....later i noticed that this lady performs this act of spirituality on a daily basis....wat a place to worship the sun god....on a moving train....i could have only imagine chaiya chaiya...Mera Bharat Mahan.

2) Time was 6:50 in the evening at Thane station. i had just boarded 6:48 Dombivli Local........i happened to eavesdrop on two middle aged men....they were discussing wat i felt ....if every body thought that way...india will go places........the point of discussion "PEANUTS"...literally....

1st man says " Yaaar main to sirf station platform pe se hi shenga(peanuts) kharidta hoon"
2nd man says " kyon"
1st man : Yaar, maine gina (counted) woh do rupya mein 70 dane deta hain.....our train mein liya to do rupya ka sirf 52 dana milta hain....18 dana kam.
2nd man : saale public ko loot te hain ye log.

At this point of time...i thought to leave them alone or else i would have learnt some more ways how public are looted.

The peanut calculation was too meticulous..........I cant believe people do that.

To have that as a statistic.........pitted against Indias' GDP

I feel its a classic case of having too much time on your hands or even travelling too far to your workplace.
