Met a friend In Metro


Being new to Delhi is a boon and curse as well. Boon is that one has got various places to visit and learn loads of things in metro city like Delhi. Curse is that one has to be depended on someone to move from a place to another as guidance is very important in big cities.

I have started to move out alone with little knowledge of the city and house. I just learned the address how to reach home. This helped me a lot to reach home from anywhere and metro proved to be a huge help for me.

Delhi being a metropolitan city, people are so busy to smile with nearby’s or strangers. My experience was different, I use to give a smile to most of the strangers or kids on the street and they too use to smile back. This helped me a lot to smile for whole day.

Story here was not same. People are here busy with their chats friends or listening music on cell phones or with some or other things in their minds.

Places in Delhi are very far. It takes minimum 30 mins for one to reach the destination. I generally feel tired when I am out of home as I am not habituated to the traffic and the routes over here.

This day also I was feeling tired after interview from Noida. I wanted to go home as soon as possible and metro was the fastest way to reach. But on that day also I came across the metro which was crowded and I din’t got the place to sit. People were all around. There was no place to stand properly. In this crowd I saw a face of a girl, it was familiar. But she was neither my friend nor any relative of mine. I tried to look into her eyes n smile so that if she knows me she can talk.

Here in Delhi I wait for every person to talk to me. I hardly have any friend here, so I always wait for people to talk to me. But we din’t had any eye contact. After a while when she was about to leave the metro, she touched my back n asked me to sit on her place before anyone sits.

We both were sure that we don’t know each other. I think this is the trend in metro’s that one women asks other to sit on her place while leaving so that guy’s are not occupying the sitting area. God knows what trend is that. But this was good.

First time in Delhi I found some stranger who did something for me. It might be usual for her, but wasn’t same for me. I tried to watch her out when she was leaving but she din’t turned back. How she would have known that I am tired and I need to rest. There were other females standing but she asked me to sit there.

What does this means? God knows what we need? Or these were the vibrations that I was thinking of the same lady in the whole crowd.

Whenever I recall her in my mind I think her as my first friend in Delhi. Friend in Metro.

I really felt good that day.
