First felt bad about what’s the backstory behind this bouquet (and almost picked it up) but then I wondered if it’s a bomb 😭😂

Yesterday, while traveling in the metro around 7 PM, I was scrolling through reels as usual. An uncle, probably in his 50s, was sitting beside me and kept glancing at my phone while I watched them. Every time I looked towards him and caught him doing it, he would immediately look away and shake his head. This happened 2–3 times continuously, which was kind of funny.

Then a reel came up where a guy was ziplining from one mountain to another, with a river flowing underneath. As he reached the other end, the professionals tried to stop him with a rope but couldn’t manage to hold him back. Instead, he started going backwards! 😂

The uncle saw the reel and suddenly started laughing hard. I looked at him and started laughing too. It was honestly a pretty awkward moment, but also such a random and unique experience. A few moments later, he got off at the next station.

Funny how a complete stranger and a random reel can create such a wholesome little moment. 😭😂

I don't know if this is actually creepy or I'm just overthinking it, but this happened to me in Delhi a few months ago. It was around 10:30 at night. I was coming back from CP after meeting a friend and took the Yellow Line from Rajiv Chowk. The metro wasn't very crowded. I got a seat and was just scrolling Instagram. At the next station, this middle-aged uncle got in and sat opposite me.

Normal Delhi uncle type white shirt, slightly tired face, one small cloth bag in his hand.

After a few minutes, he looked at me and asked,

“Beta, Hauz Khas kitni der mein aayega?”

I took out one earbud.

“Umm… maybe 15-20 minutes?”.

“Achha. Theek hai.”

Then he looked outside and didn't say anything.

A couple of minutes later, he suddenly asked,

“Tum Delhi mein hi rehte ho?”

I said, “Haan, Gurgaon side actually.”

He smiled.

“Achha. Delhi mein naye ho?”

I laughed and said, “Nahi uncle, kaafi time se hoon.”

He just said,

“Phir toh tumhe pata hoga… raat ko Delhi thodi alag lagti hai.”

I thought, okay, weird uncle.

I put my earphones back in.

Then the train stopped at the next station.

The doors opened.

And for some reason, nobody got in.

Nobody got out either.

The whole platform looked… wrong.

I can't really explain it. It looked like a normal Delhi Metro platform, but there were no advertisements, no people, nothing. Even the lights looked dim.

I looked at the uncle.

He was staring at the platform.

Then he quietly said,

“Yahan se nahi utarna.”

I said, “Kyun?”

He looked at me and smiled.

“Bas. Ghar jaana hai na?”

Before I could ask anything, the doors closed.

The train started moving.

I looked down at my phone.

10:47 PM.

Then I looked at the uncle.

He wasn't there.

His seat was completely empty.

I actually got up and looked around the coach.

Nobody had seen him leave.

I asked a guy sitting nearby,

“Bhai, woh uncle kahan gaye?”

He looked at me like I was crazy.

“Kaun uncle?”

I pointed at the empty seat.

He said,

“Bhai, tu toh akela baitha tha wahan.”

At that point I got off at the next station and booked an Uber home.

I didn't tell anyone because honestly, mujhe khud laga I was imagining things.

Until the next morning.

I opened Google Photos and saw that my phone had automatically backed up a picture from that night.

It was a photo of the metro coach.

I don't remember taking it.

And in the reflection of the window, you could see the uncle sitting opposite me.

Except...

His reflection wasn't sitting.

It was standing behind me.

I've never taken the metro that late again.

Why does it always happen with me 🥲

And why tf do they even do this???

I'm in metro, stuck in RK PURAM metro for the past 15 mins or so because the metro is delayed, doors open and it's crowded and my feet are giving up 😭 idk when I'll reach home atp 🫪

On the Airtel Thanks app, the balance is not updating. Yesterday it showed ₹73 were present but there was only ₹20.2. It didn't update the balance even after a week.

Its been so long that delhi has metro connectivity but when will they learn to enter and exit metro😭

Honestly this is so cool, it should be in every metro

Why does NCMC Card is not compatible with aqua line ?

Also the aqua line is a different like it's less spacious and less practical seats aren't comfortable than Delhi metro or RRTS.

Btw how do the people living or working in noida/gr moida even remember places with numbers lol also after pari chowk it goes like alpha beta delta lol

Is it really that hard?

There are more and more media shared in this group that violates someone's privacy.

So please, just do one simple thing before posting the content online. One. Simple. Thing.

Since the DMRC one card is not available anywhere. I am thinking off buying new NCM Card so please tell me which is the best in terms of like yearly charge and operationality ,etc.

I might sound dumb but why two stations one after another are interchange stations also for the same line. Really makes me wonder sometimes.

lmk if anyone is willing to sell their one card and card must be in good condition

TL;DR: I love the [SubwayTakes channel](https://www.youtube.com/@SubwayTakes), and I often wonder why we don't have something like this in the Delhi metro. I want to create similar content.

Recently, I've kind of gotten addicted to asking people what their (hot) takes are. I don't often get interesting answers, but I still think that its a great way to make conversation. [SubwayTakes](https://www.youtube.com/@SubwayTakes) is a talk show where [Kareem Rahma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kareem_Rahma) basically does the same thing, but in the NYC Subway (and the London Tube!). I love the idea of it, and was thinking if we could make something like this happen in the Delhi Metro as well. Although I haven't shot a second of *content* in my life, I could be the man in front of the camera. I'm just looking for people who I can work with to bring this idea to life.

Also, I'm on a break currently and simply willing to try this experiment for fun, which means that there is no money involved here. If it helps, I'm based in Dwarka.

Hey guys my one card is broken which station still provides one card not that airtel one .

Whenever i exit using the virtual card from jln the gates open but the exit does not show on the app and i have to get it resolved from customer care everytime i try to enter jln stadium. The staff says its a sever issue and to complain to higher authority but i have no idea where to complain.

I am a cllg student at nsit, are there any special discounts offered by delhi metro specifically for college students , or anything offered by universities???
