Today’s life revolves around perfection at work and home and everyone is struggling for it. In the bargain we forget to address the true essence of life: smiling and laughing at the comic aspect of one’s life.
I usually travel by metro train. And, one can see that discipline prevails at the metro station. Everyone forms neat queues to enter the train. But the moment the train arrives, the queue transforms into a crowd of people all struggling to be the first one in, and the crowd pulls in even those who plan to avoid the mob and travel by the next train, thus forcing them to travel involuntarily with them. One need not wait and step into their train but stand where there is a gathering and one will find himself/herself enter and exit automatically. And that is the beauty of it all. Despite the Delhi Govt. trying its best to bring order at the metro lines, things eventually happen in the good old Indian way---by becoming a part of the crowd.
