A Thank You Note

Dear Train I Take In The Morning,


Thank you for making me run to catch you everyday and making me pant so much I resolve to exercise more often. I get a free massage which loosens me up and also the occasional steam bath. You make ironing my clothes seem redundant. I love the live-in-the-wild look I get when I alight you. It really suits the season.


Speaking of which, I love to hang off you in the rain, the cool breeze and fresh drizzle makes me feel alive. That and the possibility of falling off you and breaking my neck.


You make me part of raucous shoving and the coming together of everyone to beat on one sorry soul. You also make me part of little kindnesses, snatches of conversations and robbed glances, making me believe in the magic and possibility of friendship.


Thank you for being the vein that runs through Mumbai. And for being the fastest way to reach work.


And the reason I love my city more and more each day.


Lots of love,
Prachi.
