In August 2005 whole city of Delhi was very excited about the new underground Metro train section that had become operational. I too reached the Delhi University terminal from my Mukherjee Nagar home by bus. The inside of the station was spic and span. I bought a ticket for Central Secretariat which cost Rs. 11/only. I followed the crowd to downstairs hall and then to the platform level through an escalator in an airconditioned environment. A bright sparkling train was waiting for us. I got into a coach. It was clean and beautiful. I sat on a seat feeling wonderful. The doors closed with chimes and the train moved. There were only a few passengers. Only a couple of people got in at the next stations, Vidhan Sabha and Civil Lines. At Kashmiri Gate a big crowd rushed in. The people jostled for seats. The most passengers had to stand by holding overhead handles.
At the next three stations, Delhi Main, Chawri Bazaar and New Delhi, crowds kept pouring in and pouring out. At Rajiv Chowk most of the passengers alighted, only a sparse crowd remained seated. A few got off at Patel Chowk. All of us cleared out at Central Secretariat terminal. The entire journey took only 18 minutes. It was really a pleasant experience. How fast and comfortable life had become for Delhites with Metro train!
