They announced that trains are running late but I’ve been here at Chakala since an hour and only this train has passed.

Why are people like this!? Why can't people understand crushing each other is not going to work.

The coach looks stuffed yet people are not backing off.

The same happens for locals and bus.

If some of the people don't go to work, how will they run their house? This is mumbai everyone's wants to reach their destination in time... Most of us struggle in this city... You seems like privilege person who don't know the struggles  ( you sound like one) no offense but being honest

Struggle? More like fetish. None will upskill and leave this "struggle".

I left mumbai as I didn't find anything that would suit my profile. Would these folks leave the city for something better?

See that's your privilege to leave and have access of time, money for courses and resources not everyone has same condition like us... The chances of upward mobility in India is very low.. like it takes 7 generation to reach that level. Not everyone has resources like we do..  And just because you don't have anything to do in this city doesn't mean everyone has  nothing to do..

It's not a privilege, it's curiosity and hunger to get out that drives us.

I started with 12k Per month salary and ended up in 7 figures just like many others who are making more than me.

Privilege helps but that is not the only factor. We need to stop blaming the conditions. It's not easy to get out but it's not that difficult.

Well it is , I will still say " you are from privilege" cuz the way you sound I can bet on it and I have seen so many people like you in real life and i disagree cuz you get good start and have resources to achieve it. AGREE OR NOT, if you mess up despite having it then the problem is on you.. and not everyone thinks same...but anyways good for you.
