There's something
weird and exciting in seeing a foreigner push his way through a thick crowd
in a filled up to the brim metro. Moreover this weird
excitement can form the basis of writing about "The System" on yet another night.
System where in you
get to see and observe a hell lot more people than you can even imagine to
think and write about in the capital city of India.
But to put all the amazing things about this system and the national capital in to a garbage can is the scene outside the AIIMS metro station. The station that houses the traffic from the areas around the best Hospital of the country is so filled up with people who are not able to find beds inside the Hospital or are not able to afford the so called Amazing hospitals that charge everyone a bomb. Seeing a poor man lying around the stairs with a glucose drip in one hand and something to eat in the other can be a sight one must never forget. The sight like this that doesn't allow we Indians to forget about the poverty all around while we are busy making what so ever money we make in our comfy jobs and offices and also leave an ever lasting imprint in our hearts for doing something about these poor people can not only bring joy to them and their family , it somehow also leaves us happy and content.
To Sum the day up - going outside of the metro i was taken aback when an auto rickshaw started his meter as soon as i took my seat inside it and asked to pay by the meter rate which in fact was fifteen bucks cheaper than what normally we need to shell out.
Peace Out.
Delhi Metro ... To Be Continued...!!
