Delhi Metro - from an observer's eyes yet again !

The thirst of observing people around us does not cease even for a minute in the vast ocean of souls available in front of us. I have no idea why do i write every time about the same topic, the metro. Sometimes it feels like a constant companion with its closed doors taking along a multitude of emotions on display, just needing a keen eye to comprehend them a little.

Maybe it is the feeling that comes from the inside when you see a family of four sitting on the floor of the coach with their luggage most probably going to the New Delhi railway station. Did they lose their fight against the cunning by lanes of this city or are they on a journey to get back a few charming moments in their life by visiting their home town or gao as people suggest nowadays.

The wandering mind begins to ponder as the eyes are set upon two sophisticated professionals dressed in what seems like the best attire for a sales meeting. Targets, loans, cars , wives, children, vacations and the lives seem to be invoked in this never ending discussion that i believe happens every morning without an end in sight. The end that exists on the other end of the dark tunnel called as rat race. The end most of the people engrossed in the race are afraid to even get a sight of.

The eyes are then allured to stare at a handsome looking man and the brain so quickly tries to gather the reasons of why a handsome man is never stared at or leched at while a pretty woman gets to have all the attention around. Is it the mindset or is it the education system that taught men to stare openly at women while at the same time convincing the women in hushed up tones to look at men with such deceit that the world can never notice.

The eyes and the mind quickly move from the good looking man to a pretty smiling female as soon as she enters the coach for that's what all the men ought to do. The mind starts to conjure questions whether the affectionate smile is being directed towards the man in sight or is it the natural look that makes everyone believe that the perfectly curved lips are spreading a charm unparalleled. The mind does go numb when a female smiles looking in your direction, a numbness that often people mistake for a flutter of hearts and term it love at first sight. Or is it the other way round ? Maybe it is all dependent upon the perspectives of the people involved.

So, till the time we actually do learn the differences between these concepts and many other concepts plaguing the modern world, we can continue to relish observing the souls around and penning down whatever comes to mind like i usually do.!
