A record of weird/sad sights and smells while travelling in the Metro (on different days):
- A woman breastfeeding her baby during World Breastfeeding week.
- A locust steadily spirally climbing the support pole to the top.
- The nauseating smell of unboiled milk every time the doors opened for each station.
- Two butterflies flitting around inside.
- A woman from a very low-income group pissing her baby inside the compartment.
- A man in a wheelchair (seen on the same day I found barrier-free constructions in my Alma Mater)
- On Independence Day (15th Aug 2008), the AirCon's electric circuit shorted at Ram Krishna Ashram Marg. There were many strange bomb-blast-like sounds and visible electric sparks. Everyone rushed out the Metro in panic. Earlier the train had stopped in the middle a couple of times. When the driver signaled everyone to board the train, he announced that the first two compartments will have no air conditioning.
