Every place has something fascinating, uncommon, which makes it unique and attractive. Mumbai, the 'city of dreams' for many people, has Suburban Trains, which have played a remarkable role in millions of people's lives for fulfilling their dreams. A larger population of Mumbai depends highly on Mumbai Locals for their daily commute whether to going to an office or a business or an educational institutes.
In other states, where travellers are often engrossed in their cell phones, commuting on local trains is a whole new experience where people socialize with each other, make new relations, celebrate functions or retirements or birthdays together, and eat and sing along. On locals, once a stranger gradually becomes a part of other's pain and happiness.
Mumbaikars are used to the local trains, but people in other cities or states are unaware of the enjoyment, entertainment, and struggles one encounters while traveling locally, making it a remarkable travelling adventure for newcomers. Being an outsider, I am too intrigued by the ladies' compartment of the locals. Through this project, I want to showcase my thoughts and experiences about women coaches ' nuances in the form of a graphic narrative. I want to bring out the emotion that has converted a train compartment into a spot where ladies can have free time to do whatever they like, forgetting about the busy schedules of work or without thinking about household responsibilities. I also aim to bring out a stranger's perspective about local trains, the never-ending crowd, gushing rush during her first commute.
