Mumbai local

Travel  by road in Mumbai is, time consuming.

If you want to reach fast, best is train commuting.

But for that you have to have not only patience

to board in and get down, also enough strength.

Peculiarity of Mumbai local is; it doesn’t sleep

doors never closed, as it comes, platform sweeps.

People are hanged, still few more die to hang

unafraid of current, on the roof, few take chance.

If you are going to travel during the peak hours

be sure your all fingers have adequate  power

to balance your weight on toe, holding a rod

of the compartment keeping your full body out.

At the time of alighting from it, take your side

well before, at the platform the train arrives.

And as train enters platform be prepared to jump

or you may be thrown in again by crowd’s thump.

Whoever are daily commuters of Mumbai local

they need not to join the gym to keep them well.

Automatic pushes and pulls would keep them fit,

they can build their biceps and retain normal hips.

If boarded in the slow, and fast train is overtaking

it appears that boyfriend is bypassing, stating

“Didn’t wait for me! without giving a call you left.

If you really love me, meet at station Church Gate.”

Keep your pocket filled as minimum as possible

mobile agents may take deposits, non refundable 

You may think commuting in the local, humor;

but embarking Mumbai’s life line is true adventure.
