Aamchi Local  (English, Paperback, Muraleedharan Appath)

Do you travel in Mumbai locals? Love it or hate it? Do crowds overwhelm you? While commuting is the primary purpose of Mumbai locals, they also offer a unique platform for learning - lessons you won’t find in any textbook outside. What are these lessons? Are they shaped by the raw, unfiltered reality of people around you? By their relentless daily struggles to survive and make ends meet? Witness remarkable display of self-control, adaptability, and accommodative spirit. Marvel at the even-tempered resilience of seasoned commuters who remain composed amidst relentless jostling, accidental pushes, unpleasant smells, and the occasional unwarranted blame. Isn’t it admirable how they maintain a yogic calm in and through all this? Beyond the journey, local trains foster a unique civilization - a thriving culture that extends into the bustling suburban railway station surroundings of Mumbai. This book captures the essence of these real-life experiences, seen through the eyes of a seasoned commuter, ‘Khattar Localkar’. Happy reading!
