9 AM, Andheri Station

Life's tough here they say
every minute counts they say

You don't stop walking, to look at a shop
there's a sea of people pushing from the top

Here, curses of all kinds are heard
expressing the collective pain suffered

You need to let your pain show
otherwise how would she know?
the high-heeled girl with a bow,
who just stamped on your toe

Bound to be hit at least once a day
elbowed, stamped on or pushed away
you scream, curse and let everyone know
that you are one of them now; and this pain- you know.

You stand out, by sticking in
You live on, by giving in

Where crowds float
and the trains gloat

Isn't it a hit
this Mumbai spirit?

'I like most of it'-
Thanks.

The thought is a reality and it shall hit you as soon as you land here

@ Swati -
Maybe that's why we are all trying to run away from here, before we give in completely :)
