Not yet been on a Metro! Was simply imagining some firsts waiting to happen in Namma Metro (in no particular order) :
1. First baby delivery (Herige) – (Chances – rare but possible)
2. First pickpocket (Chances – Possible)
3. First love proposal (Chances – Highly possible)
4. First slap for misbehaviour – girl to guy, need i say that? (Chances – Possible)
5. First lady asking a man to get up from a ladies’ seat (if at all there is one) (Chances – Quite possible)
6. First person to sell Groundnuts! (Chances – rare but possible)
7. First time a college guy (standing) gives his light bag to someone sitting (Chances – Surely possible)
8. First marriage to take place – (Chances – rare but possible)
9. Youngest and Oldest persons to travel in a Metro – (Chances – possible)
10. First brand to advertise in a Metro (Chances – Highly possible)
11. First bird / animal to be hit by a Metro (Chances – Highly possible)
12. First film / ad to show a running Metro OR to be shot in a Metro (Chances – Highly possible)
13. First mishap – (Chances – Possible)
14. First Paan stain inside a Metro (Chances – Highly possible)
15. First person to engrave his name and his lover’s name on a Metro seat (Chances – Totally possible)
16. First pet animal to travel in a Metro – (Chances – rare but possible)
17. Oh i forgot – First person to paste Shankarnag’s picture on Namma Metro! (Remember that Shankarnag was the first person to propose the Metro project for Bangalore during Ramakrishna Hegde’s government in the mid-80s)
Am sure there are more! If you can think of any, do share it!

Very imaginative Mr.Ramki, tumbha chennagidhe ‘first things waiting to happen in metro!’ I think we need ‘Namma Metro Civic lessons : How to use metro and make an enjoyable experience for everyone’!
I enjoy reading your blogs. Thanks for your wonderful postings.

Remembered this post when i read that a boy fell in front of the Metro and died. You had written “First mishap – (Chances – Possible)”!
