Life in a metro!

Hello my readers, assuming people do read my blog!
This is my third post and i can tell you writing something constantly and posting it, is not as easy as i thought it would be. Office, studies and all other stuff take up so much of your time that i hardly get any to write or for that matter do anything i love. Hence, the delay!

Now coming to my new topic, 'life in a metro' , since most of my readers are indian, the first thing thing that pops in your mind would be Shilpa Shetty and Konkona Sen- but no i am not talking about that bollywood movie , what i am talking about is "The Metro" , the thing that made our life so simple, so easy. Being from delhi, metro is a big part of my life, it has made commuting so comfortable. I remember the times when all we had was auto rickshaws and taxis, how difficult was it to commute! Going to relative's place, school or anywhere with friends - we needed a person who could drive us there. Talking about my experiences,  my school was around 20 km far from my place and the day i missed the school bus, my dad had to drop me and my brother all the way to the school ending up being late for office. Ahh! The lectures post that sure made me hate school. Thankfully in the last two years of my school life, metro came into existence and we (me and my brother) were able to spare those long lectures about early to bed and early to rise!
Metro has changed our lives so much that i thought it deserves a little of our attention, so here i am writing my post about it.
Commuting from a corner of the city to another at such cheap fare is possible because of metro, otherwise we had to bargain, argue with the auto and taxi drivers to take us to our destination at reasonable fare, that too without AC! Which again depended on their mood.
Metro on the other hand, comes in every 3-5 mins, fares are fixed for all, it saves us from the heat in summers and the chilly breeze in winter, it is so clean, so comfortable! Yes there are more than a few "Vilambs" in our yatra but then it is the best public transport available!
Do you remember the time when there was no women's compartment? The time when short girls had to stand next to a guy holding the rod above and stinking real bad! Haha i am sure, you do.
But now, all the pretty ladies out there are thankful for ladies coach, our very own clean and compartively spacious coach!
Travelling alone past 7-8 was a dream for most of the indian women, which again metro has made feasible! Also, travelling in metro is not just safe but entertaining too, small kids dancing around the pole, girls chit chatting about guys, women discussing their family issues, you get such amazing stories!
One of the best stories that i have is about a girl and well, you know how adjusting we indians are, even in metro, seats designed for 4 have to bear the weight of 5! We just fit in somehow. So once, this girl was trying to fit in on the seat of four where already four aunties were sitting- the so called hatti katti aunties i.e the healthy ones! She sat there, on the edge of course where she was struggling to even sit properly, but seriously i don't even understand the point of sitting like that, but anyway she sat down and a few minutes later came a jolt, and the next moment i see her, she has landed with her butt on the metro floor! It was so funny. The poor girl, stood up, quietly went towards the gate and got down at the next station. I can't even imagine her plight. Yes she did give us a great story but i am sure it must have been one of her most embarrassing moments.

Coming to the point of giving due credit to the metro, well i am not alone. Have you ever checked out the confessions page on Facebook?  It has some hilarious content! Be it about how a girl lures a guy and then steals his phone or how the whole common compartment crowd stands on the joint next to the women's or about the first sight crushes, it has it all. I have read a few funny stories there too, i sometimes actually end up laughing for hours and yes blabbering the story way too many times to almost everyone i know! I am such a talker but wait, who is judging? Well, lets not! 

Frankly, stories or no stories I am just so glad about the fact that Metro came into our lives, it made commuting so convenient, i personally hate travelling in buses so metro is like the best thing when you can't drive yourself somewhere!
If you are a fan of metro, i hope you like my post as much as you like the metro and if not i hope this post inspires you to travel more in metro, ditch the traffic and enjoy such beautiful little things in life.

Wicked Relationships!

If you are reading this, you ought to know that i am committed, its been more than three years and i love my man more than life. There is nothing that makes me happier than being with him.
Now as we know blogs are about writing what you feel, its like your diary except this one is public and well, its better to alter some details. But i have to be honest here, being in a relationship is tougher than you singles think it is. Yes, you have someone by your side all the time, someone you can talk to about anything and everything and at anytime. You can talk about what you had for dinner and even that feels worthwhile. It's all great!
But then again, (well, there is always a but) everything has its pros and cons, how about when you have a crush on someone and no, not your current lover, someone you met in the office, interacted a while ago, had a little eye contact and then you get damned as the guy turns out to be on the same floor as you- it gets complicated, so bloody complicated. You have such mixed feelings, comparing both of them, and then you reach to the point of thinking you might not have your first kiss ever again if you end up with your college sweetheart, the rush, the nervousness of a new relationship, these things that you miss out on. The love song you could relate to, doesn't sound so mystical then! Its like crossroads, wondering about 'The road not taken' .
Singles on the other hand can flirt with anyone they want, go wherever they want without talking to someone about it. They have the liberty to chill with anyone and everyone. Being close to a friend, having fun at a party would not end up in answering questions.
So which one is better, the singles chilling out, people having flings or the its been so long i want something new kinda relationships. Honestly? I don't know!
Talking about what i have and what i know is real relationships, sometimes you might wonder were you not truly in love that you found someone else attractive? Sometimes you want to let go of everything and start a fresh, the drama the fights even after all the efforts you put in your realationship, you want it all to go away. So let me tell you, when its been that long, they know you better than you know yourself. Talk about how you feel, how you used to enjoy the little benefits of being single, and that's it. Come to an understanding that flirting with other guys having little crushes is a sign of a healthy relationship. Trust is the foundation of this. Let this be in their knowledge and as long as they are cool with it, you've got yourself a golden deal. I consider myself lucky for having found a relationship like this, also he is my best friend so he has got to understand!
So even if it is tough, and i do miss my single life but there isn't a day when i regret being with him.
I'll just say be who you are and find someone that makes you happy or rather be someone that makes you happy. Suit yourself!
Enjoy being single? Stayy single!
Wanna get married? Go ahead!
Friends with benefits? Sure, why not!

Coming to the end of my post, i still don't know if relationships are wicked or virtuous, All i know is..
Relationship or no relationship,
Single or committed,
Nothing matters, just be happy, be you, do things you want to do! You only live once, remember? ;)

Well, my first one!

So, here i am writing my very first blog! Writing makes me so nervous and so powerful at the same time, it gives the freedom of expressing ourselves freely but takes away our beliefs- should we be writing what people want to read or what needs to be written, a dilemma we all face.
It was really hard for me to think of a topic for my blog, working in the corporate sector doesn't really give me time to form views about anything other than the office gossips and seriously who would want to read that!
I remember the last time i wrote something out of love for writing was in school, writing poems for teenage crushes , the love of our lives or so we believed. Thinking of all these things i thought of the final rescuer - Google! Haha, how much do we rely on these things.. i miss the good old days when we used to think till the idea popped in our heads. Anyway, so yet again i found nothing out of the box there, so i thought why not write about something that is inside the box..and well, here i am writing about how i came up with the idea of my first post!
I guess people are right when they say " do something you love and you'll always find your way".


Hoping to write about more interesting life crisis in the future.
