Dashing to the platform, I heaved a sigh of relief seeing that I had not missed the train. As the door slowly opened, the few passengers alighted while the rest streamed into the train carriage. When I entered the carriage, what greeted me was the typical scene of people rushing to fill up the seats. I did not bother myself to vie for the seats, and stood for the whole of the journey. When more passengers entered, there were occasional pushes and I lost my balance, knocking into the people around me. It was really awkward, especially since there were so many people whom I knocked into. Every time the train stopped at a station, more people would enter and make it so packed that the air-conditioners in the train had little effect in providing relief. As I looked outside of the train, I wondered how long more before I would reach my destination….
