Aim-: To use andheri-panvel train to reach to neerul
Apparatus: The train itself,urself ,and ppl to entertain u!!!!
Theory:
As it sounds andheri-panvel(previously andheri-belapur) is a kind(:))of local train in mumbai travelling from andheri to panvel .The only train with least frequency........3 per day.If u wanna travel through all the slums in mumbai......u got to experience this......Basically used by students and mill workers of navi mumbai.....Though its a single train , i bet one can experience different treatment in different compartment(1st class,2nd class,luggage ,ladies(no comment bout this...)).
First class is the colourful part of the train(basically red and yellow with a hint of brown).......fultu elite ppl and students....a coach where u hav to chant 'excuse me ' till u find ur
partners and friends.A place to see all the studious people with huge books in one hand and a pack of cards or an entertainment paper in other....and if u wanna know the newly released gadgets ,this is the place to watch. oops ....forgot the dozed off guys........they r the ones entertaining the ppl in the train with their strange funny moves .
wanna experience something mumbiah........get in to the second class.....basically a coach for the millworkers and other nonregular travellers. A place to see various methods to eat nd spit ghutka and other red stuff!!!! one gotto chant 'side side' to get in to this coach. Remember to always carry a pen otherwise the fan wont work... nd if ur lucky u can rest ur ass on the fourth seat.......come kurla,and u find men walkin in to the battle field and experience the mumbiah massage......ahhhhhh.........half done......now the most learning part.....gaalis.......i hav learnt enough of them......
Lastly.......the luggage coach........a coach tht stops just below the steps........u hav no other go ,but to get in to it wen u enter the platform wen the train has jusr started leavin the station......a place where u find most of fisherwomen surrounding u and ppl like me puking........if ur lucky u'll find only the vegeatable vendors around u............ppl not habituated to this coach r requested to get down in the next station so as to breathe....
kudos to me for experiencing all the parts of this train for a whole 4 yrs!!!
Conclusion: Thus , we hav successfully studied the various enviroments in a local train(precisely the andheri panvel train)..........
