Baap ki jagah hai na!

Written on November 14, 2008, by Rajat.

Just look at these pictures, and you’ll get to know what I am talking about…

For the Delhi-ites, this is a normal sight: people squatting on the floor of metro trains. These people think as if yeh unke baap ki jagah hai, and that they can sit anywhere they like. By doing this they make their, and their fellow passengers’ lives in grave danger, in addition to eating up some valueable standing space in packed trains.

What if a train had to come to a drastic halt? Those standing will fall on those sitting. Somebody will get a sprained ankle, somebody a twisted neck, or somebody else even a broken bone. The effect will be disastrous, but it will teach surely them a lesson :P

Worse still, sitting on the train floors is an offense according to the DMRC rule book. Somebody make these people understand, please!

      Ah, seen that too. But I guess people do that because what with the sudden jerks and all, standing often leads to them falling on the others anyhow. Safer to sit. :/

      [Why am I justifying this? I sat down once too. But in my defence, the metro was empty then. :P]

      Perhaps your opinion will change when somebody will fall on your head while you are sitting :P

      this happens in lady's local trains too. The women are so incorrigible, they refuse to move and talking sense with them is impossible. I haven't seen this in men's locals here, though.
