Life on Metro

Metro or Tram, one of the public transport options provided by Midland transportation service operated from Wolverhampton to Birmingham. I have been travelling on trams and buses since I started working in schools. Its over two years that I have been commuting to work every working day. However its just lately I have realised that I am one of them, one who hurriedly goes to work in the morning and lethargically returns home in the evening, good feeling though !!

However, unlike me, many have their forehead wrinkled perhaps with some kind of responsibility, some call their kin to assure they are on the way to home. I am also not among the youths who are glued to their mobile phones, constantly texting or FBing and always have their earpods dangling from their ear, sometimes you can even hear the beats from a far distance. On the other hand, "Adults" have their eyes fixed on their books, no time to look around, just flicking over the pages. I am the odd one out. There is nothing in particular I do while travelling. Most of the time I just close my eyes and take a nap. Sometimes, I just read news or scientific articles. I have also developed a habit of reading novels. though it is still in the infancy stage and so far I have read only 3 books.

Travelling on bus is a different experience than on tram or train. On bus, you come across diverse people from different ethnic background and community. Most of the people travelling on bus are local and look scruffy. I adore reading the phycology of people whilst travelling on public mode. Speculation of people gestures or facial expression reflect their well being and their living standard.
