10 years as an engine driver of Delhi Metro, and I was still excited by the noise of the platform and the rushing crowd. Today too looked no different, and I started the train at Samaypur Badli.
7 stations passed, and as the train approached Vishwavidyalaya, I was jolted by a sudden horror. I applied the brakes hard. Someone had jumped on the track.
"Suicide!"
"Is he dead?"
"Call the ambulance."
There were loud instructions everywhere, deafening me.
Did I just kill someone?
I got no answer.
I walked out of the Metro. I could never drive it again.
