Side. Side.. Side... Side....!


It was raining very heavily. It always does in Mumbai.  Rain soaked Mumbai people run for their daily living.

I was standing on a railway bridge hoping for my train to come on time as it was already 0925 am on Monday morning.

Railways announced for arrival of Ladies Special train, this train makes our lives hell as next few trains arriving after this will be overcrowded due to this filler.

A beautiful girl in her twenties, yes all girls are beautiful in their twenties or otherwise, took charge running on the bridge shouting side, side, side, side and started getting down the stairs.

People (read all men) politely gave way to her to get down from the left side on the stairs. The girl with her sleeveless T-shirt, tight jeans and bag hanging in one hand with other hand occupied with umbrella making way towards the ladies special.

'Dhupaak', the girl slipped on one of the stairs, however nobody dared extending helping hand to her. 

General public psychology with girls, remember in public transport bus the lady behind you pushes or pats on your shoulder and asks you, do you want to get down on the next stop?, have you heard a man doing this with ladies?

Fortunately she didn't hurt herself.

She got off and started running again for the train shouting Side. Side.. Side... Side....!

Did she get the train after all?
No idea, I was taken over by another girl passing by ;-)
