Once again its time to enter the Mumbai local train where millions travel daily. Every minute the crowd increases and consider yourself lucky if you manage to get a seat. Its not as easy as it seems. To enter the train you need to learn the skills and sometimes even get out the daredevil in you when its jam packed. Feels as compact as a sardine tin and within that millions of lives, millions of stories. Traveling in the train will always show you something new and interesting. Different characters, emotions, styles, reactions, stories and much more. Don't be surprised if you' re suddenly a part of a fight you never expected to happen. Every person you see there has a story to tell. A little boy asking his mother who entered the ladies compartment " Mom, when will i be able to travel in the gents? ". A mentally challenged kid kicking everyone around him and heartless people yelling and annoyed at the mother for bringing him in the general compartment. A old lady who's son died at a young age, so she had to work in her old-age to survive and to her tragedy she lost her purse carrying all the money she collected. A woman who had to balance herself near the edge of the doorway and risk her life daily because of the extremely packed train just to sustain her family and her kids education. Amchi Mumbai local is filled with drama and all the mach mach of the little slice of life.
