This came from the dame who had nearly crushed Charu and me to death. She was looking in my eye and saying this in someone else’s ear. Someone who had to be in love with her. Her handsfree chord was dangling down over me and Charu.
Poor breathless Charu (she is my train friend) missed this statement of the millennium. I couldn’t stop myself from repeating it in her ear for her best benefit.
I really hate it when huge people decide to travel in 1st class ladies compartment. The compartment is first of all small, second of all they push a minimum of 3 people my size out of their way..that usually is life threatening for the people who get pushed. Other day, one fat person tried to move her elbow and the result was one other woman almost fell out of the train. She didn’t luckily. But all the stuff in her hand- (I guess she was an art student ) big bag of project papers and handbag flew out of her hand. Later people behind her had to pull her back and stop her from jumping out of the train for the stuff. She kept yelling all my work is gone! Oh god!! I wanted to ask her if it was worth her life. She was trying to jump after her work. I have never seen myself panic to that extent. Rather.. I am an iceberg. Some people bubble with fear and anxiety; some like me go absolutely numb. Had it been me in her place.. I am sure I would have done the yelling act later ( I still don’t believe I would have yelled, I would have sobbed maybe) maybe once I was out of the train and maybe back at home.

Making sense out of recent changes is on your current critical path, yet you must be ready to jump into the next phase of your life. It's fortunate for you that your self-judgments are lightening up and others can shower you with love and respect. You can already feel it, but you still must give yourself permission to enjoy it.

But hugeness isn't their fault!! I feel the peak hour local train ride is a must for everyone. It brings you down to a level where survival certainly depends on the fittest - on ehas to hang on for dear life, push themselves to the maximum. And all this, twice (at least) everyday. No wonder Mumbaikars never give up!!
