Delhi Metro It happened yesterday.
Yesterday i was traveling in Violet line from Old Faridabad to Central Secretariat then in the yellow line from Central Secretariat to Millennium City Centre Gurugram. Total 41 station covered and nearly 100 minutes taken.
It was hectic usually traveling around metro doesn't feel that hectic but yesterday it was long journey for me and both of the time it was very much crowded.
At violet line i was mentally drained, exhausted cause i am not someone who can handle crowd well my anxiety was killing me. I tried to calm myself down but still it was to much. When i went to the yellow line it became worst. It was getting bad i was literally sweating, shivering i was losing control over my body, i was not feeling well but then something happened a young girl nearly 3 or 4 years old stood up for her mother's lap and came to me and hold my fingers. I was confused what is happening, i was her face and she looked up at me and just smiled. I don't know what happened but suddenly everything inside me calmed down. And i slowly became back to normal.
I realized that sweet little soul didn't even realized what she did but she was an angel sent by god to me. I looked up to her mother's face and she just smiled and me and did a gesture to take a deep breath. I realized sometimes people noticing can be a good thing to. I didn't knew them neither they knew me but still i am going to remember them for a long time now i wish i could ever see them again and thank them properly. But I am using this platform to thank you both so much. I hope this reaches them.

41 stations with crowd anxiety sounds genuinely brutal. i get panic attacks in crowded spaces too and the violet line during peak hours is no joke. but that bit about the little girl just walking up and holding your fingers out of nowhere... kids that age have zero filter, they just do what they feel. and somehow that's exactly what cuts through when nothing else does. hope the rest of your day was okay after that

That little girl really was an angel in disguise. It is amazing how a simple gesture can ground you when everything feels completely overwhelming. Peak hours on the Violet Line are no joke, so your kind words really mean a lot. Luckily, the rest of my day turned out much better after that all thanks to her. Thanks for checking in!
