Yesterday two interesting things happened in the local.
I normally dont hav a fixed train like most mumbaikars. My train depends on the time and energy levels i have each morning.
This Morning i took a fast local, as it was decently alightable at Kandivali, but got off at bandra as it was too swollen and not subsiding, (to catch a slow for elphinstone) ran through the over bridge to the track, to alight the slow train just pulling in, and was pleasantly surprised to find it relatively empty. Almost all third seats empty!
I cudnt stop beaming as i inquired of the woman next to me..
From andheri? Yes she nodded

Next station Mahim.
another woman walking in, beaming the same goofy grin i must have had!
Bandra? She asks.
Andheri. I grin back.
Just made me realise How little we mumbaikar local travellers really need to feel good!
On the other hand, the evening return trip saw two eunuch beggars begging for one rupee coins. Young 20 somethings.
One of them was angrily arguing with a commuter. If u want to give me money be quick about it. Dont waste your and my time fiddling into your purse. I have other 'custombers' waiting too.
