My Delhi Metro story of why I got late to work...

Last year, I was travelling via the Metro towards Sikanderpur Station on the Yellow Line. As I was about to reach Qutub Minar station and the metro was as usual crowded. I had onboarded at Delhi Haat - INA, so no seat for me. Suddenly the metro abruptly stopped and someone started screaming. The inertia was so much that people literally lost balance and fell over each other. I am super confused because it almost felt like we got hit or something. The announcement speaker goes live and the metro driver asks "Haan kya problem hai?" Then on the same line Amidst this chaos we heard the announcement speaker. It was the driver. He asked, “Haan kya problem hai?” Then we all heard some lady say that Ladies Coach mei AC nahi chal rha. Man, I wanted to give that woman a tight slap right across her face. On the next station the station security was ready and the woman was apprehended. I realized that day that most people in this country are so dumb that they don't deserve first world amenities and services. Also, dimaag nahi hai zara sa but Confidence ho toh aisa. What do you think about people who act so entitled on Delhi metro? Picture: Peaceful day in the metro when I finally got a seat.

Rural Life Experience.

I was suffering from 2-3 mild health issues in metro. (prolonged cold n cough, regular sneezing etc) Came home 🏡 in diwali and now extended wfh due to health gain. Living with parents and consuming clean air + food is helping improve my sleep quality as well ❤️‍🩹 (2h+ deep sleep) 8h continuous sleep. I did cost benifit analysis and have decided to work on a plan which will eventually help me settle down at my birthplace within 2-5y. synopsis -- Children's play under sun 🌞 and have group of 10 kids. They ain't worried about anything. Their happiness index > ceos. They don't know about masturbation till 10th or age 14 if they don't have a smartphone. My workplace is open and aqi is below 10. Strong peepal and banyan trees 🌴 even 100y old. When I feel stressed due to any reason I just go to see sunset near my place hardly 2km away. It's a stress buster with earbuds in and watching migrant birds crossing river. Ain't those birds more free and independent than us? Like they don't give a damn 🕊️ about future and enjoy the present. Very less car and almost 0 traffic ⛔. People still use bicycles and cycle repair shop>garages. Life is slow and peaceful. People go to sleep at 9-10pm and wake up at 5-6am. Life is too easy. Cost of a family with 2acre land is hardly 25k/m here. Sometimes I wonder why chase 2 lac/month sacrificing so much in a so called developed city. Society is ambivert. Pizza 🍕 🍔 burger biryani is trying to enter these areas. But I don't miss swiggy. Zeptonis redundant here. My 💳 credit card is lying there thinking why am not swiping it... यहाँ कोई मित्र नहीं है, कोई आश्वस्त चरित्न नहीं है, सब अर्धनिर्मित है। अर्धनिर्मित इमारतें हैं, अर्धनिर्मित बच्चों कि शरारतें हैं, अर्धनिर्मित ज़िन्दगी कि शर्ते हैं, अर्धनिर्मित जीवन पाने के लिए लोग रोज़ यहाँ मरते हैं। अर्धनिर्मित है यहाँ के प्रेमियों का प्यार, अर्धनिर्मित है यहाँ मनुष्यों के जीवन के आधार आज का दिन अर्धनिर्मित
