For Delhi Metro Riders: How Old is ‘seat-worthy old’?

During my many sojourns in the Delhi Metro, I have realized one thing that no matter how much Delhiites are ridiculed, they have some degree of respect towards the elderly. One thriving example of this is the fact that men and women of all ages are more than forthcoming when it comes to vacating their seat for an elderly person. However, from a personal perspective, this trend confuses me besides making me feel good about my city. For starters, apart from the folks who are extremely old and look weathered and worn-out, how do I always know about vacating my seat?

She Ain’t No Blonde or Princess, She’s Just Rajouri!

This is my first of submissions that will focus upon the Metro typecasts I have come across. I have a slightly cynical outlook and thus, I am going to begin with a typical kind of Delhi Metro passenger that needs a serious reality check—I call “it” the “Rajouri Types” and this is particularly applicable to the women who board the metro from the Rajouri Garden Metro Station and the nearby areas. You must be wondering what could be so despicable about such ladies. Well, there is nothing wrong with them except for the fact they are highly prone to thinking that they belong to an elite class that should be treated superiorly within the Delhi Metro!!
