started music player
he was geared up to catch 7.27 fast
station clock was showing 7.32.With experience of a year he was expert enough to catch a fast in morning.It was a day of winter of pleasant wind and a layer of fog(or smog)in air.He put a sight near ladies section as his flirty eyes were finding some birds.....he was listening 'I have got a crush on you' by Frank Sinatra.Indian railways also know our mentality thats why ladies n gents first class sections are adjacent and most of the times there is only a simple grill n window between section.
The train was arriving...he pressed Play button(rather touched on touch screen)....it was Metallica's 'ONE' from S&M ie Symphony n Metallica......all were ready to catch the train and at the same time Gunshots n blasts were goin on in headset...slowly the clean haunted guitar sound started as the train was coming closer.......
he took a forward step in the rush.....and the ulrich started drumming with kamen's symphony..................
with progress of track bar words were 'I cant remember anything...........Cant tell if this is true or dream.........Deep down inside I feel to scream.......This terrible silence stops me'...everyone was pushing others aside and were trying to rush in the train..........hetfield said,'please god hear me...'.......finally he caught the door bar when kirk hammet's chromatic progression was goin on.........he was completely involved in the song.....the last man to enter(???)in the train.......one feet in air and holding bar with on hand.....everyONE was yelling others and pushing inside.Everyone had only ONE aim...we have to reach our destination,mumbai as early as possible.College students,Officers,clerks,workers,engineers,doctors there were people of every differnt professions....different nature...different backgrounds but now they all were jus ONE....all of ONE kind
'HE' was trying to move inside but there was not enough space
there was no way other than remaining in same position...coz train has already left station
his heart was fll with fear...words were trapped in mouth...hanging outside of the train....poles were passing,just some inches from his body......he was feeling like Joe of 'Johnny Got His Gun'.....the orchestration in song was increasing his heartbeats.....
the song was proceeding towards the solo and...train towards mumbra tunnel.......................he heard the words....'Darkness Impresoning me....All that i see...Absolute horror....I cannot live....I cannot die...trapped in myself..'..............the orchestration was at peak point and hetfield was screaming 'no no no...'.....he was jus some millimeters away from the tunnel walls.........................................He closed his eyes...with strings,Newsted's bass,drumbeats his heartbeats were increasing...and finally the solo started....with closed eyes there was only ONE thought in his mind...'Please god
help me'....
when he opened eyes the train was in thane station and the song was at 7.52mins.....he immediately removed headset before the player starting next song and He got enough space to move inside
'I' can never forget that journey....there are thousands of such ONEs who travel with jus 1% portion of their body inside train
such is the life of mumbaikars..
bcoz they are THE ONE
