Thank you for for the positive response to Issue 1 of Dubai Metro Chronicles. It has encouraged me to continue this feature on my blog hereon.
Today was a quite journey in the Metro. The time though was different; meaning, I was traveling not by the train that I usually take, but I was on the next scheduled ride. Most of the passengers are almost common when you travel at a fixed time, everyday. You obviously encounter new faces when it's different train. Though the route is same, you sometimes feel alienated when their are new characters around you. I am not sure if alienated is the right word though. But I am sure that you understood what I meant to say. There were tiered looking airport ground staff personal and nurses who were heading back home after their night shift. Few people who just landed in Dubai, embarked on the train from airport terminal 1, looked hassled with the crowd inside the compartments and found themselves to the dismay of a 'standing' journey until their destination. What is interesting to see is people wearing sun shades inside the train. It helps the night shift guys take a nap while commuting and for some it helps them to freely look at those whom they hesitate to see or rather stare at without being noticed. The train started after its stop at one station and as it does, it gives a jerk. And this time when it did, a young lady almost fell on a guy standing behind her. Though it lasted for a few seconds, the moment was a bit awkward for the lady and the guy, but the guy gave a wicked smile afterwards like as if he had a brush with joy! Men!!! :)
