Wow..the metro is here! I woke up to the sweet (?) sound of chuga-chuga-chuga-chuga sharp at 6:30 am in the morning. I am pretty much sure that I would hate it in a few months time ...nevertheless..public transport is never gonna be the same again. No rush hour traffic jams..or the merciless heat..I plan to find a way to go to the office (and subsequently to Superstars) via the brand new metro which was inaugurated yesterday. It goes up till Noida Sec-31 after passing Sec-16 and Sec-18..the more popular stops. Its the first time it leaves the capital and enters another state. And the U.P. wallahs celebrated in style by mobbing the stations..breaking some railings and getting down right on the tracks and dancing and "welcoming" the metro. It was soo funny...and also a bit disturbing. No other country would have seen the scenes I saw on TV yesterday. A huge mob rushing...pushing their way through to catch a glimpse of the metro train. Screw the yellow line..they wanted to see it up close..and hence came down to the rail tracks..much to the helplessness of the poor police wallah wondering what the hell is wrong with them! Anyways I just hope the metro lasts long cuz one of my friends said that people were soo "happy" with the metro that they broke one of the railings on one of the stations! Jeez..the things people do sometimes makes me feel we dont deserve all this. Anyways but its here..and I hope it stays!
