One hour Life in a Metro (Delhi Metro)

First day of June month was started a normal day, I wake at 6am in the morning and ready to leave for office by 8.30am, everything was moving preformatted. I reach to Lakshmi Nagar metro station and board the metro for office, I use to change metro at yamuna bank for Noida. As usual listening music on mobile while commuting, till the time, my day was going smooth. I have reached to yamuna bank station and waiting for Noida metro..it was 9am and display board was showing 8min for metro..i was waiting more and more people start gathering at station and we all was eagerly waiting for metro fromlast 15 min….then I start realizing that something is wrong today and suddenly display board start showing 40min for metro..and metro staff was announcing that due to some technical fault matro will delayed by half an hour or more…i was like what to do..there is no other way to go to office to be back home (coz yamuna bank metro station has 2-3 km distance from main road). Crowd was also increasing heavily…two things was running in my mind how to get out from this place or how can I board the metro if it arrives..

My mind was buzy in building such thoughts then thankfully metro arrives and I have prepared myself and stand first in a row so that I should not miss this. Luckily or unluckily I have board the metro and it was over over packed (cant explain in words). Once it starts running on track, somehow I was settled down and got a decent space to stand but this is not the end..at akshardham station it again stops and we all people was looking like millions of birds/ animals kept in a cage and there is no way to escape..people are looking out from metro window to other side..seems like asking for help , some are enjoying music, some are fighting for space, many of them are calling the their bosses and informing that they will be late (I have also done the same task), some are talking to their boyfriends and girlfriends and some eve teasers are taking advantage of this situation. Mine while, I got a call from my friend he was watching news and this news are flashing at all news channel, he called to know where I am, I was not in a position to pick the call but somehow I did and informed him that I’m also the victim of this situation. All of sudden, an uncle was start shouting..he was talking to metro authorities over the phone and asking about the problem and when it will be resolved, poor customer care people just saying one thing..Technical fault will be resolved soon. All seems so disappointed again, after 10 minutes again metro started and at afterwards at each station more and more people are boarding the train which is uncomfortable for all but all are in hurry and there is no other way around so bearing with it. Afterwards, metro runs smoothly and i have also get down at 9.50am by metro watch.

This one hour in a metro was an unforgetable ride and in future I never ever want to travel again like this. Hoping that rest of the day will go smooth.
