Keep it Simple!

Mumbai local or the local trains of Mumbai are known to be the lifeline of the city. The reason for this is that more people travel in locals than the combined total population of Mumbai and Pune. Those who have traveled in these trains can bet their life on this fact.. literally. The trains have been equally crowded 10 years back as they are today (Thinkometer: and they say outsider population has increased in Mumbai!)

However, there is a difference in which the crowd conducts themselves (Thinkometer: did you say conduct?!) ahh well ahem.. Let me take you to one of the crowded locals and list down the categories of people who share the same seat in harmony:

1. The Warriors - This is the breed that has evolved over the years by travelling in locals. They get on and out of the train with the energy and expression of Lionidas (Thinkometer: 300!). Their expression is that of revenge while you keep wondering whose revenge!
   
   Anyone who comes across their way is cut into pieces in cold blood! 
2. The Confused - This is the breed who got semi evolved but got stuck somewhere in between. Once into the train, these people do not know where they want to go and what they want to do. In one moment they will push you around to get to the left and in another they will want to go to the right.
   
   These people usually go with the flow in their hard attempts to get evolved
3. The Illuminated - This breed is named so since their faces are always glowing with the light of their 'Smart' phones. Be it an empty train or a life scaring super crowded train, their face never fails to glow. This breed is increasing day by day (Thinkometer: blame it on Candy crush).
   
   The growing size of the phones Illuminates people around them too.
4. The Peepers - This breed has evolved on the cost of The Illuminated! During their entire journey the Peepers will know what the 8 people surrounding them are up to with their glowing faces. They know what you are watching, playing, listening, chatting. They know everything. And they will come for you everyday in the same train, in the same coach, and the same time. Watch out!
5. The Touch-me-not - This is a rare breed but not completely non-existent. These people get some kind of DNA transformation if they get touched by someone. The DNA then transforms them to shout at people around them.
6. The Adjustables - This breed is the most adaptive of all the breeds. There is no place in the train, they will make some. You cannot reach out to the shelf for your bag, they will get it for you. You are running for the train (Thinkometer: like DDLJ) they will be your SRK and ensure you get onto the train. They will be indifferent to the crowd in the train.
   
   You cannot get out of the train due to crowd, they will push you to ensure that you get out. You do not want to get out, they will still push you to ensure that you get out (Thinkometer: What?!)
