Mumbai - An Addiction

Mumbai Local Trains

It was a regular morning. Trains were jam-packed as usual. I was standing amidst the hundreds others in my compartment. A yowl… of sheer pain tore through the hullabaloo from a someone beside me. Someone landed his foot heavily on someone else’s foot. The victim pleaded to the pain inflictor standing in front of him, “Bhaisaab, jara apna pair hataana” The bhaisaab looked at the victim with a bewildered expression. He looked down at the victim’s foot, which still had its tormentor nested on it. He looked back squarely at the victim. “Yeh mera pair nahin hai” And got back to the grind of his journey again.

The foot eventually removed itself. Its owner was never identified.
