Being new to delhi, metro ride
throws you fascinating facets of delhi. The Delhi metro is microcosm of
delhities and a ride in to the metro throws light on one interesting Species-
Delhite-Men. This specie is not much different from most of male species in the
country but when the landscape is of big metro cities then their public actions
are rather incomparable.
On metro train it is mostly funny
as you can witness Wimbeldon effect whenever a woman enters the tube filled
with men but sometimes highlight the scary aspect of gender behavior. If you
have an eye for detail may be you can catch some these species in action.
The big eye ball Guy: Many of such species are visible every day on
metro but what amazes me is the surprise in their eyes every time they see
fairer sex as if they have seen it first time in their lives. Their reaction is
very predictable, it’s like “oh, my god they do exists”. If a young female in professional
attire walks in then it is fun to watch their big eye scan.
Pole dancing guys: The uniquely set of talented guys who have
created new form of dancing “gazealooko” by twisting their body on the pole to
get a better look of every female going in and out of the tube, though haven’t
seen anybody trying upside down act. I really think these Delhi guys should get
some amount of credit for the origins of twearking.
The Immobile Guys: These are totally contrasting set of guys
compared to pole dancing guys, they don’t move. In fact you won’t see them
moving an inch no matter who passes by, if some girl passes by then they don’t
bother to step aside, you can see how pleased they are to be brushed sideways.
Goggles Wala is an evolutionary breed, one of my favourites at
Delhi Metro. After their numerous rolling eyes misadventures received keep-your-disgust-to-yourself
feedback, these guys smarted to a peaceful solution of glares for gaze. I sense
they are the most harmless guys of the lot who actually want to remain
invisible to everyone’s eyes. The only time you can catch their presence when
they have to continuously turn their heads to make a dekho.
Stare-you Guys: These guys are not necessarily the ones with big
eye balls. Their game is simple, just stare the fairer sex in front of them and
continuously do so for the whole damn time. These guys are not amused at women,
but women indeed are. I don’t know if
they find it the best way to kill the time or consider it the most entertaining
part of the journey but they definitely seem to scare the female species.
These species aren’t much
exclusive to Delhi, It is not much of difficult to find them in any other city,
but is easier to find them in Delhi.
I find it difficult to understand
guys in Delhi on the average have good looks & built and have good sense of
dressing much like other men in metros, but their desperation is quite evident
than men in other cities. Some of Delhi guys are much more like “Delhi
Rickshawalas” who literally jump on their prospects even though they have
multiple possibilities to get hitched. May be its desperation to get hitched or
may its sudden rush of blood to the small brain which makes them ‘Love- Junkies’.
I don’t know it could be either,
but what’s really funny that they still act like the men in 80s movies,
probably Delhi Metro is more modern than large section of delhi-men.
