7:57 ST, 7:43 PL
first three compartment ladies or a whole Ladies special
Overflowing locals
Little kids reaching handles
Jalad local
Dheemi local
Check-your-weight-for-5-bucks machines
Handicapped compartment with silent movies
Fragrant fisher women
Hurried home-work completion
Huge lugguage compartments
Windows show sketchy apartments
Stylish women with laptops
Bollywood music or hiphop
Innocent hands with comics
Sales calls on naive lips
Glaring women with stepped-on sarees
Lone policeman for scenes with scaries
Incredibly incomprehensible announcements for incredibly fast trains
Almost-everything-sells-here agents for harbour-line slow trains
Work-from-home-starting-salary-15000! ads
Diversified jaats in Matrimonial ads
Sleepy heads on compartment walls
Sale hangars with smiley balls
Departure enquiry from fellow companion
Reserving seats to avoid exhaustion
Artificial jewelery that comes cheap
Soggy palak that lies in a heap
Women busy with crochet or knitting
Others fighting or teeth gritting
Medical students with fat books
Engineering students with math looks!
Teenage girls with high-pitched chatter
Quiet aunties who've felt better
Later hours are not so loud
Dying down with thinning crowds
Empty trains with lights shut-out
Last run for its night-out
