it was 1830 hrs. rain was slashing the city. me with my friends were entirely
drenched and we somehow reached beach railway station. we waited there for abt 45
min. it was an unusual crowd there.
when enquired we came to know that rain water has stagnated in the railway tracks and
there was no train service for past 2 hrs. we had a conversation,
"if we wait here we would never reach home..so, lets hire a call taxi and share the
cost". an aged man was listening to our conversation from backside.
an announcement came that the train to tambaram will leave after 15 mins (train
service is from beach to tambaram). we again conversed abt the crowd and decided to
go by call taxi.
this old man interrupted us and said "listen young boys, don’t waste your money.
these crowds r part of life, aceept it, iam going to travel amid this crowd upto
chrompet..why cant u?". before he stopped his speech the train too arrived.
the crowd got ready and we decided to split ourselves. dashing the crowd and with a
pull from one friend and push from the mob i was thrown into the train. the train
started moving slowly (till end)
it was raining outside and sweating inside for me.
people inside the train felt it horrible to travel that day. at each and every
station the crowd was increasing. i thought, it should be the worst day in my life.
but not. few excerpts from conversation between X and Y's in the crowd.
X: I couldn't bear the crowd.. i feel as i should jump out from the train
Y: relax boss.. crowd will decline in the next station.. u can feel easy
after 3 stations
Z: the crowd is horrible today.. its very hot inside the train inspite of rain
Y: relax boss... crowd will decrease in the next station... u can feel easy
it was st. thomas mount station. the new subway had rainwater stagnated. it was full
A: see the subway(screamingly) what is this? i couldn't believe this!
B: This is called rain water harvesting!
X: still the crowd is heavy... (hastily) what train service is the government operating in
difficult situations
Y: relax boss... crowd will decrease in the next station.. u can feel easy
R got tensed by Y's repetitive comment and gave and counter comment, "relax boss, the train will become empty in tambaram, and we all can feel ease...” (tambaram is the last stop)
whatever it may be.. its within us to take the situation. that is called as ATTITUDE.
