Delhi Metro- Continued !!

Away from the swanky cars , out of the plush flats and bungalows , away from the vicinity of the spacious malls lies an image of this city that is some how totally opposite to the all decked up fashionista behavior portrayed by its citizens.
An image that is so prevalent  yet so hidden , so amusing yet so surprising , so common yet so weird all at the same time. An image that can generally be associated with a Mumbaikar, "these Mumbai people and the city find an unusual mention in all my posts ( the 8 years Effect has started to Rub In i guess)".

An image that for a moment makes you become oblivious of the fact that you are present in one of the most fashion conscious cities in this whole Damn World , where people dress up and behave in a way that apparently exceeds their own dressing sense as well as their own pockets , where going out of your place is like enacting a competition with the individual standing or sitting next to you ( depends upon where you are ), where wearing bathroom slippers to a mall can invoke hate filled stares , for here looking better than others is something considered pretty cool and chic.
Examples like these in a way define the landscape of the dressing demography in this particular city yet contrary to all the written so called facts above there is another set of people who kind of set a trend of being glamorous yet laid back and who for a change as well as a sigh of relief are comfortable in whatever they are wearing and are not at least bothered about the footwear worn by that Fat rich looking brat at the corner of the Showroom or the Gown worn by a not so elegant 60 year old female.
These People form an image that can only be witnessed upon constant observation of the same set of people over and over again and what better that the System ( the Delhi Metro ) to gaze into the hearts and minds of the travelers. As a matter of utmost fact observing a person's dressing sense and behavior in a public place does give a strong insight into his/her personality , For these are those few who are least bothered about the bad crease on their trousers or the look of the so in fashion crumpled T-Shirt they wear ,  even though there are some who constantly carry off trousers and shirts with bad stains with elan but that class of people is miles apart from what the whole post is all about.
For it is more about a set of people who make Show Off's look pedestrian while giving Swag a new address , the set of people who definitely want to look good but not overdo the looking part just for the sake of it , the people who dress up for their own selves and not to please the masses.
For it is only them that makes the opposite sex take a long hard look ( a sense of admiration  , not to be confused with the stares and lewd comments of the cheap people here ) and even turn around to have a second thought that's sometimes necessary cause of the charisma and the aura these people spread around themselves.
P.S - Dress up and dress up good for only oneself for you never know what might happen tomorrow. !!

Delhi Metro- search of right moments

Travelling regularly on the metro in the national capital of rapes and not witnessing a single case of touching or molestation , or any complaint regarding the same can be surreal yet enthralling experience.
 The experience of being enthralled by the city that some how manages to cast a shadow on its true self and instead displays an amazingly pleasing to the eye mirage that feels like a reality to the non curious kind and acts as a catalyst for the quest of finding the right moment for the curious ones. To burst this city's bubble you just need to be in the right place at the right time to see a tired looking female using her whole power to grip a man's shirt collar amidst the crowd at possibly the busiest station of this system.

The right moment that can be summed up by the fact that for the first time in as many months the writer got to sit albiet for a few stations on possibly the most crowded time and the most insanely filled up metro route.

The moment when you see an old lady stand a few paces away from where you are sitting and you hold off stiff competition from the standing hungry for seat males to offer your seat to her. Doing this does't make you proud or worthy of an oscar but it does remind you that the immensely important humane values are still left back in some and need to be deeply inculcated in some individuals.

The right moment which makes a pretty woman to sit right next to you when all this while you had been just looking and admiring her from the corner of your eyes. Do take a note that this is a once in a blue moon moment and can lead to serious nervousness and speech stuttering in homo sapiens.

Having seen just one arguing case happening between grown up males on the topic that has lead to most wars in the history (females) while travelling in a city famous for its bad temper can be quite intriguing but seeing a lot of males keeping away from staring at those pretty females can be either mindblowing to a sane mind or can rip an insane's mind totally apart for it is the moments that make up the life and the right ones just add some flavoured spice to the life's curry.

To sum up it aint necessary to search for the moments , when we are capable enough of making our own..!!

Dreams Unplugged !!

It ain't often that the life comes a full circle but when it does it brings many amazing moments in the monotonous periodicity of a mediocre being and when it goes a full circle from a hopeful yet a dull point up to a point of no return it can bring a mesmerizing adventure in the thoughts about the life's future.
Leaving a cushioning job in an IT firm with a lot of chances of going Onsite in the upcoming months for joining the Indian Armed forces can be such an example ( the second case ), something which not only leads the person in question to dream in awe about the future the life beholds but also brings a moment of pride to all the known beings.
The pride that can not be justified by the congratulatory greetings alone but also invokes a certain inspirational moment in everyone's life for there are not many times when a human's childhood's dream is realized or to sum it in an apt manner not many have the damn guts to follow something that they have always yearned for and finally lay their hands upon it.

For Life has always been about the process of adjustments and adaptations , about falling down and realizing that we need to stand up to face all the adversities to step on the ladder defined as Success and in all these scenarios the dreams ought to take up a back seat. The dreams about which we constantly think and fantasize but do not have the wherewithal to follow and realize by tearing everything apart , owing to the responsibilities and the relations we need to take the utmost care off.

But as they say it , Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans.
For those who never had any childhood dreams , i hope this deed shall act as a catalyst for dreaming more and working towards achieving the same , for laying your hands upon the golden goose you once woke out of sleep with can actually be the most satisfying moment in the human's Life.

I firmly believe that the three years of dullness of sitting slouched in a chair staring at a computer screen shall vanish the moment you step onto the Grounds.

P.S - Your Moment of Pride has finally come up. Live it to the fullest as you always have. !!
