Train Travails

Mumbai trains.. ever heard of those??Fast trains.. slow trains.. crowded trains and more crowded trains

Confused??.. You would be.. wondering whats fast and whats slow??... I'm sure you'd be wondering!!!
Well there are fast trains that theoretically run faster than the slow..
and the slow trains run slower than the fast.
Fast faster than the slow
and slow slower than the fast
and thats how they last...
pretty lame rhyme this one
but anyways fast and slow isnt the point,
cuz at times slow is faster than fast
and fast and slower than slow
makes it pretty fraustrating to go (damn.. another lame one)

Well coming to the point... whether its rush hour or not.. whether its with the rush or against it.. its always pretty crowded.. but still the very BEST (not the B.E.S.T. - those are the buses.. and thats a completely different story.. some other time)

Coming back to the Trains even Ricky Martin did a number for that
He's in a Virar Local,
Destination Goregaon.
Right hand's holding Mid-Day,
With left he's hanging on...

Pushed in at Dadar station,
Got a few blows on his mouth.
Crushed beyond recognition,
Wallet's been taken out...
They'll stand on your lil pinkies,
When you get into the train.
They squeeze your breath from both of your lungs,
Until they make you scream in pain.
And all your settings gone in vain, C' MON

CHORUS:
Upside, Inside Out
Livin' la Virar local.
They'll push and pull you out,
Livin' la Virar local.
And who's gonna tell them no?
You try and they'll make your kheema
They will knock you out
Livin' la Virar local.
Hey...Livin' la Virar local.

Wake up... in Borivli,
Oh shit, missed Goregaon.
And now, he's feeling silly,
Because, he's in Naigoan...
They took all his clothes off
and had him dancing in the train,
They made him sing a bhajan
until they drove the man insane.
Like a bhajia of his brain, C'MON
Upside, Inside Out
Livin' la Virar local.
Hey...Livin' la Virar local.
Hey...Livin' la Virar local.

But duh.. he forgot.. Virar local aint stopping at Goregaon
Note: The lame rhymes are all mine.. mine mineee... but the good stuff isn't mine. It ain't Ricky Martin's either.. Dunno who wrote it.. but got the right in the spot!!!
