The Namma Metro photo portfolio
4 cars, 3 SUVs, 8 bikes, and 16 autorickshaws
Oh God, what have they done to my M.G. Road
Saturdays, girlfriends, popcorn and other memories
Every picture tells a tale. Babu‘s can fill a tome.
Not a picture that will make it to Lonely Planet
Amar, Akbar, Antony. Or Ram, Robert, Rahim
Only a low-angle shot can convey its great girth

Wow, looks cool. I hope people too grow up and become more hygienic. Three days back I was on a Volvo bus. Next to me was a “gentleman” well dressed, wearing good shoes etc. I am not kidding but, he was putting his fingers to his nose and then licking them!!!!!! It was so disgusting that I got up from that seat and went aside. Really wondered why such people wanted an air conditioned volvo bus.

It looks cuter than the Delhi metro and the symbol too is beautiful.

By the time Metro line is ready, we should learn the tricks of the trade from Mumbaikars on how to board trains by elbowing out competing co-passengers.

babuds – don’t worry. We are Indians, whether Mumbai or Delhi or anywhere else, other trains or metro – it is all one and the same for us. Because we Indians are one. Discipline is one thing, which is not in our blood.

>It looks cuter than the Delhi Metro
Hope the service will also be better than Delhi Metro. Thanks to Delhi Metro, after a long time I went to Nai Sarak to buy some books and ate partahas in parathewali galli. Chandini Chowk now is less tha 15 minutes ride from CP, ooops Rajiv Chowk.

It is sad that it will be vandalised in no time during next bandh, dharna and death of a filmstar. We need to find gainful employment for the unemployables whose only job is to vandalise and sometimes paid for it.

I had tears in my eyes when I saw this pic. Will this hi-tech train be a reality in my country!

“Will this hi-tech train be a reality in my country!”
It is already a reality in the country – go on a trip to Delhi once.
