8:08 ChaShiT Fast - An amazing routine !

Well ChaShiT is Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus for those of you , who havent got the shit beaten outta yourself by travelling in this beauty!
It rumbles down the platform 4 of Thane, half emtpy ( some crazy maniacs have the brains to board it in Kalwa carshed - God Curse them !) and stands patiently till its pounded by people ! People who have their asses on fire and believe that the 1st class cushioned seat is some sort of water pool ! Damn ! Well My ass is never on fire ! So me and Aditya prefer completing the Jigsaw puzzle of the lobby of the train by manuvering our bodies to best possibly fit in the space remaining ! Its actually a test of flexibility or rigidity ! If ur body fails to be at any of this extreme conditions then be warned that when U get down, U wud be having more body parts sore than not !
The Jigsaw puzzle comprises of amazing people of amazing dimensions , drenched in amazing amount of sweat ! These pieces of Jigsaw come in variety wid a variety of expressions and body language ! Some are 'I m too high class for this crowd' , some ' keep of me U slime' , some ' smiling intelligently' , some 'smilling dumbly', some ' yet to be awake' ! Then before the trains starts U will have egoistic advisory yells of starting the fan , then curses wid a dash of " Ma... Bhen ...." when fan refuses to start followed by more egoistic attempts to start it ! Finally some resort to handerchieves givng the characteristic huffs and puffs to cool off !
Finally the motorman gets bored of platform 4. and train begins its ardous journey packed to capacity ! Then the real fun starts as the groups of people start discussing private, professional , local , national and international issues each with equal ease !! Each one with his own suggestions makes the debate hotter and better ! U can ocassionally here a" Arey Salla Reliance kay padla kaal " or " Ya Bhaiyyanna .... " or "Kal tya Big Boss madhye Rahul ne ......" and loads of such varied shit ! The Ocassional scuffle between 2 hot heads is a enjoyable event. Its a rare phenomena but when it happens , U will be taken to higher plane of imaginative swears ! FInally some mature guy ends the deal with a " Jane de ..kiske mooh lag raha hain ...." !yet to see a physical showdown those happen in 2nd class ! ahh well ! U gain some u loose some in 1st class !
Sometimes I feel 2nd class is a better place to be , coz a mistaken elbow hit is graciously forgiven there or otherwise it all goes down to survival instinct , but in 1st class U have to face strght faced hypocrites who will swear under their breadth and give u those " Pata nahi kahaan kahaan se chale ate hain " looks making u feel " Are gaali dena toh mooh pe bol " ! Train reaches Mulund and its a case of " Lemme get in U bastard or I will pull U down " countered by internal shouts " Bho******* He mulundwalle salle nako tevha nako tevdhya sankhet yetat" or sometimes a more direct " Phekun dya yanna baher " ! The train stops and u get a 15 sec interval to quickly readjust urself and the aching body parts to the more intensive packing!
Mulund sometime brings in companions of people already in train who brings a pack of samosas or Bhajji which is shared equally among all widout giving a damn to the hygine ! again the debates and group discussions start wid additonal opinions ! ! Suddenly U can have a couple of " Aur fir usne Unki ......... " followed by " Bho Bhe Bha or Ma " and then a group suddenly goes " HAHAHAHAHH " followed by swears again " HAHAHAH " till finally the N2O in their body ends !
Then comes ghatkopar ! silver haired , baldy , sherwani clad , bussinessmen wid golden specs holding a briefcase in 1 hand and 2 mobiles in the other enter the compartment and all of a sudden the " .....Che ........ Che........ che " increases ! ocassional one such guy may step on your feet and say " Ae Bhai thoda Adjust kar ne " and you feel like replying in the same gujju tone dat U cant, but yet u try!! Believe me U cant fight the guy wid sucha tone ! Well the thoda Adjusted journey continues and finally its Kurla time !!! haah ! U utilise the last ounce of energy in ur body to wriggle out frm the adjusted situation and get down at Kurla ! Phew !
Check your wallet and mobile , straighten ur "akade hue " bones and move on !
For those of you who are interested about what happens beyond Kurla please meet me on Platform 4 arnd 8:05 am on weekdays and I would happily introduce you to this beauty of 8:08 !
