So as my stint with survival in Delhi continues...this city doesn't stop entertaining me with its unending fables. Now,if i step out of my house and turn the writer switch ON inside my mind..i could spot a story everywhere,but the most colorful amalgam of lives that i encounter on a daily basis, is in the DELHI METRO.
No matter what time of the day or which day of the week it is,i can count on my fingers the varieties of groups that the people(mostly female as i travel in the ladies compartment) can be categorised into.
The one that unmistakably catches my sight as soon as i enter belongs to the 'nayi naveli dulhan' cateogary.Now you are bound to find atleast one from this group while you are lurking in that 'packed to breathlessness' crowd.Again...no matter what time or venue she is travelling to she would be dressed up in the most lustrous attire and fangling accessories which leaves you with an impression that her whole and sole aim while she was getting dressed was to either blind people or to promote sunglasses.From her bindi to the 'chooda' to the 'lipistik' to the uncomfortably high(although no1 would agree)heels everything has to have a invariably dazzling effect or else she would be declared a misfit and outcast from the whole population belonging to this category.
Moving on....this female is one of my favourites ,and as homosexual as this may sound, i literally check her out from head to toe everytime i lay my eyes on her.She is a 'chalta firta ' fashion magazine.She has that constant arrogant uppity look on her face..and i dont believe myself saying this..but it suits her.If i spent 2 mins on observing any other specimen, I am graciously going to spend my 10 precious mins on this well deserved candidate.Her eye-liner,nail-paint,footwear,earings,clips etc have to be in perfect contrast to her neatly-picked dress from the unending supply of her gigantic wardrobe.Straightened hair is no luxury anymore so i should not even care to mention it.With my lost enthusiasm ,of caring to 'match' stuff..i still manage to appreciate her without being judgemental ,of the fact that she might be having nothing better to do than spent hours in front of the mirror(yes..i had to get that out of my system).She gives a miffed look of discomfort to her fellow passengers as she carries on with her useless texting on her PINK color covered Blackberry(probably she is putting up an fb update about her newly bought 'louis vuitton').
Before going any further...please DONOT excuse me for my lambast exaggeration ...coz thats where the fun lies.:)
Next up is this quiet li'l chick who supposedly doesnt care about being noticed like her fellow mate...but astonishingly stands out.She is wearing a faded denim with a carelessly worn Tee and a sling bag to go.Strands of her hair falling all over her face managing to create the 'casual and messed up' look which btw is thoroughly intensional.
What i fail to relate is that howcome most of the chicks belonging to this category are anorexic.Neverthless...with her boldly spread kajal covered eyes she is peeking into a novel which again would either fall into the category of Sydney Sheldon...or Chetan Bhagat(not a fan of either of em....but well thats where the crowd goes)
Lying around here and there like pests are these girls lost in their mobile phones texting endlessly as though they were generating oxygen for survival through it.But this is the group i mostly rely upon for my entertainment.Its fun to watch them soliloquising in between reading of their messages.I have seen 'break ups' and 'pyaar ka izhaars'...'what are u wearing??' and a lot more juicy and censored stuff too...and omg do i love it or what(oh c'mmon...if she is typing right infront of me....it is too tempting to not peek).
There are some less important categories which i mught just touch upon.
That girl who is going home from her freshly finished date ,and you can see that written all over her face because she has still not stopped blushing.
That lady whom i pitty the most as she is always travelling with no. of kids>2 who are flurrying with joy as they enter this crowded playground of theirs.
This category which always travels in groups,loaded with shopping bags and lets u know exactly where the SALE is.
etc etc
If at all i have to put myself into any of the categories...this is the one...we dont do much, and are not worth a sight either so we rather spend our time looking and judging others.And when that gets boring(which it does) we have our earphones...to block ourselves from the eccentricities of life that surround us and enjoy 'THE JOURNEY' :).
