The Puke and The Click !!

Basically,the metro ride is a too-short-to-remember -ride.But,today my journey was a memorable one,though in a disgusting sense.Usually i don't bother to get a seat for myself,but i thought to sit down this time.

I wouldn't have imagined this ,not in a metro for god’s sake.I didn’t know what was the matter with the guy who was sitting beside me.He was constantly changing his sitting posture and gave me a feeling that something was disturbing him,may be a Back ache,Mosquitoes or the guy sitting @ his right,i didn’t have a hint.He would have thought “I will let you know soon buddy “.4 stations past,4 to go.I heard a sound which, i have heard not quiet often and i realized,he had puked.I was at my reflexes.I was fortunate enough to come out of this battle bruise free.(In a disgusting sense,not a drop on me.(just to bring a touch of reality to the reader)).I stood up and ran a few yards,probably 10 yards.All eyes on me as i  sighed a relief that i came clean.Fortunately, for the people who had to bear the residue of a puke,a metro official was travelling in the same compartment,had called the authorities of the next station and had reported this,for a quick cleanup.You don't have to be a Sherlock Holmes to find out that this guy had Hangover of an Eight PM drink.I am ain’t even Byomkesh Bakshi,coz,if i was,then i would have found out that he was drunk,by seeing his activities,sitting beside him.

I got down,wondering what did he have,what was the proportion of mixing and so on.I was in a hurry too,as it was the last bus to My GHAR. I was about to cross the Token gate(as i call it), i was called by a guy who was with his friends.He asked me to take a snap of his friends and him.I was reluctant in the beginning,and advised them that taking snaps in metro premises is an offence,but they said,one snap with friends doesn't matter.I agreed.Click i did.The next moment , I was caught and the guard took me to the authorities right away along with the camera ,its owner and his friends.I said that i was reluctant ,and was asked by these guys and i knew that this was against the law.Authorities,didn’t agree with my say and demanded Rs.200 as a punishment or Jail.Meanwhile,a metro official took me out and asked me to delete the snap taken.I said you can take the camera its not even mine.LOL.He left me and my two 100 rupee notes intact in my purse.I came out ,and thought to slap myself,coz,i hear the announcement daily about do’s and don’ts in a metro,and still didn’t abide by the rules.Now,i understood that metro ain’t a blueline bus service,its a network of national importance and a brush with the law can make one count bars.
2 things i learnt:
I have to develop my analytical skills
I have to learn taking pictures stealthily
P.S : The second one of-course subject to restrictions
