The NewYork Subway
NewYork "the Business capital of the World"......."the city that never sleeps" has some amzing things about itself.....one of it being the Subway system which is the most reliable commutation means for almost all classes of NYC people........daily around a million people travel by the subways........The Subways were first introduced in 1904..........100 years have passed and now its the biggest subway system in the whole world.
Lemme tell ya how a typical NewYork Subway Bougie looks like.......(the stuff need not necessarly be in the very same bougie)........The Subway train enters the station(most of which r underground)....the doors open and people get in,everyone eager to find a seat for themselves......but alas all of them are occupied.....so i find a place for my self to stand at one of the corners......then the Train driver or the conductor annouces.."******** is the next station and stand clear we r closing door"....then the train starts moving.....now starts the whole funny story......u will find al kinda people in the subway.....most of them involved in reading a novel or a newspaper or a magazine.......then comes an old chinese guy with a bag full of DVD's saying "DhiVDhi-DhiVDhi" in his own chinese accent.......then at some other corner there is this kid crying for something and his mom becoming restless and giving him a tight slap.........inbetween enter a grp of three dancers calling for everyone's attention and making some decent enuf space for themselves......and then they start dancing like knuts believe me they dance really very very well........while they r perfoming here gets up a European traveller with her camera and starts taking pics of them....(if you find someone taking such kinda pictures the u can be sure for 90% that he /she is a European traveller).......after they r done with their performance.......they start collecting money from the gracefull doner who feel that their performance was good........and then there is this old man shouting at another corner,holding a bible in his hand, saying that...Jesus is the only hope for u to live...Believe in Jesus and stuff like that........now the interestnig stuff to most of u guys n gals.........sitting beside each other or say almost in each others laps a pair licking each other........"publicly"....no one bothers.....initially i used to feel alot uncomfortable when i used to see such kinda stuff live....but now i got used to it.......its most common here.......while all this stuff is goin on i have to get down bcos my destination arrives.......
The next time i get on a subway......if not everthing which i mentioned but some of the stuff i mentioned will surely repeat.........
Anyways please leave your comments guys.....i feel it dint turn out as good as i wishes bcos i was in a hurry while writing the blog......
Take Care..
