Delhi Metro - Sunday Diaries

Sunday might be a normal day for the home staying or the mall frequenting Delhiites but for the metro bound people it is more of a treat rather than a weekend. Fully filled coaches with lots of luggage on them , all the chirping people who somehow never pay attention to the fashion trends and form the so called lower middle class or the upper poor class of the city visiting their relatives in all the far off corners of the city , all the love birds who cant afford theaters or malls or coffee shops and instead prefer the corners of stair cases on metro stations form a huge part of the nexus for whom Sunday in the national capital is just like any other day just that it brings with itself a lot of change in the life's priorities.
Expecting a far less number of people you tend to get surprised by the number of inhabitants of the city traversing through the System , even though its quite fair to put up that travelling to the far flung areas by the best yet the busiest transport system the city has is only possible on a Sunday for you never ever even try to imagine travelling that far on the weekdays due to magnitude of the pushes and shoves you might have to endure from the people thirsty to not even loose a second of their time.

For the last day of the week or logically the first , the week does always start from a Sunday brings to the mind not only the peace loving relaxing feelings but also the responsibilities that people do still tend to follow , people who still believe that whatsapping a relative is not a fashion trend , people who do not rely on telephones to get to know about their loved ones , people who instead tend to strongly adhere to the old principles of visiting their loved ones once in a while even though it means sparing some moments from their precious time lines.
It is these people who still tend to show to this country that there are places where you can go on a Sunday , where you can rewind , where you can chat,eat and drink without a worry in the world and yet not feel in a plastic environment of a mall or a coffee shop.
These very people make us firm in our beliefs that it is not necessary for a function or a tragedy for you to meet up your loved ones but instead it should be your conscience that should be touched once too often when you fail to adhere to the responsibilities that should fall upon you once you become an adult and are not shy anymore to at least say a hi to the people who do matter a lot in the life.

P.S - Life isn't about the people whom you choose to be a part of your life but instead its about those who made you a part of their's.
