Breakfast Babble is ED’s own little space on the interwebs where we gather to discuss ideas and get pumped up (or not) for the day. We judge things too. Sometimes. Always. Whatever, call it catharsis and join in people.

The Delhi Metro anthem, “Doors are closing,” is like a daily reminder that life waits for no one. I’ve mastered the art of sprinting to catch that closing door, turning my commute into a sport. 

Picture this: a dash that could rival Usain Bolt, all for that coveted spot in the metro. Step into the Metro Mayhem, where the daily grind turns into a side splitting saga! 

Every morning feels like a sprint for gold as commuters dash towards that one coveted empty seat. It’s a blend of speed, agility, and determination that turns a mundane task into a sport. Forget the Olympics; the real competition is on the Yellow line!

Picture this: two spirited aunties engaging in a fierce debate over a seat. The battleground? A seemingly innocent spot near the door. From the “I was here first” argument to the classic “saving seats for friends” strategy, the Metro becomes an arena for strategic warfare. Who knew choosing a seat could be so entertaining?

Watch as able-bodied individuals suddenly transform into masters of the art of obliviousness when an elderly person stands in front of them. It’s a performance worthy of an Oscar as people suddenly become engrossed in their newspapers or fixate on their smartphones, all while conveniently overlooking the silver-haired grandparent yearning for a seat.

Enter the realm of eye rolls, where disgruntled commuters exchange expressive glances when someone decides to play loud music without headphones. The eye roll becomes a universal language, conveying a message that transcends words – “Really? In this confined space?”

Witness the intense debate between door leaners and seat lovers. It’s a battle of ideologies, where door lovers crave a breeze while seat aficionados seek a little more personal space. The Metro turns into a battlefield of subtle shoves and strategic maneuvers as these two factions try to establish dominance. 

In the land of ‘no sitting on the floor,’ we find rebels. The metro floor becomes a makeshift lounge, a forbidden territory where people defy the rules and create their own ground-level community. It’s a comedic rebellion, a testament to the lengths Delhiites will go for a comfortable spot.

Discover the hidden gems in the cryptic language of Metro announcements. It’s a linguistic rollercoaster as passengers decipher coded messages, trying to understand if the next station is their stop or if they’ve accidentally boarded the Hogwarts Express.

In the heart of Metro Mayhem, where aunties duel for seats and passengers become masters of selective vision, the Delhi Metro transforms into a laughter-filled carnival. From the dramatic disputes over spots to the theatrical performances of ignoring the elderly, every commute is a riotous escapade. As the Metro doors close, the curtain rises on the next act of this hilarious journey, promising more chuckles and chaos around every bend. All aboard for the next round of Metro antics!
