Mumbai labels

Different kind of people and phenomenon easily seen around, mostly in local trains
(Courtesy The Wandering Sage)

"Spotitis" – an inflammation at the “rear spot” that triggers that relentless and single-view pursuit of “that spot is my spot” behavior

"Veerus"– hanging with both hands spread apart on train hand-holds waiting for their Basanti while consuming max space and spreading their aroma for all to inhale

"Tarzans" – Close brothers of “Veeru” but they just hold single hand-hold with both hands and keep rocking on it. Pot-bellied people are the est here as they do a real good belly dance involuntarily

“Coolie” – they would rather carry their luggage on them on the upper body consuming more space than holding it around the legs where there is more space

"Guards" or "Sewer blockage" - These souls descended upon earth with the sole purpose of guarding (or blocking) the entry to the local train coach from any mortal who dares to attempt the same. They would also make sure that they do a proper job of blocking as much possible of the air that could flow inside the suffocating coach. The mortal who tries that has to come up with all the innovative ideas to be successful in this attempt in vanity in addition to the usual discarding of any etiquette.
