Urban Jungle


The metal python moves swiftly sucking and spewing people on tiled floors every five minutes. Its a pleasant contrary to it's fleshy counterpart as it is waited upon rather than chased away or beaten to death by the urban beings. But, its quite a scene when the urban man's impatience touches newer heights with every seconds delay of their domesticated python's coming. It takes them no more than a fraction of a second to unleash the monster within. To watch their monstrosity grow and battle with time and others, to become the food of this mighty python can be amusing or infuriating at times. Never will you witness such a scene when the food looked more eager to be devoured than the demon. 
The slenderous python obeying techno command stuffs its belly with such irate crowds, night and day with an insatiable hunger and moves on with the same vengeance. Snaking through the dark and deep tunnel, lighting it's way rather than look for light at the end of the tunnel.
Hail! The Metro rail that cometh your way.

P.S. If you fail to understand the post or get lost in the maze of words then you are not to be blamed coz the author herself has got noodled in her own thoughts. If you can then you are a genius :)

The last line cleared it all. Quite an amusing way to entwine words of the wild into the civilized wilderness.

Nice one, beautiful.

I am still unable to make out which metal python is being riddled here. M i too dumb? :(
please enlighten me. And yes the maze of words caught me as you see.

Sh@s said...

@ Deepika,
You aren't dumb :)
I am talking about the metro train and how people create a chaos while boarding it. Metal python is nothing but the metro train and urban animals are the so called civilized people who reside in urban/city areas.

Sourav said...

And all this while reading your post this line kept echoing in my mind;

"Damaging or Defacing Metro Rail is a punishable offense!"

Just came back from Rajiv Chowk, the experience is as fresh as your post! Superb comparison Shas! Loved this post :)
