    10/19/03 Took train into city -2nd class quite an experience. Crowded even on Sunday but we had seats -some guys always standing in the doorways making it look more cramped than it really is. Little kids on train come up and stand silently with a hand on your knee, waiting for a coin.  Finally give up and move on to next prospect.  Getting off the train reminiscent of Greek ferries – no announcements on train and stops are short, so you have to be ready, and when train does stop, the crowd outside doesn't make way. It's a grand press to try to get off with all accoudrements, while new folks are pressing inwards.

    About 1 hr to get into town, less coming back by express.

    Took first class tix today -main difference seems to be a slightly better dress code, and somewhat less crowding, but still mostly standees. Left about 11, returned about 6.  Spent much of the day in taxis -30-45 minutes, but fare stayed at 40-60 R.  Got off at Mahalaxmi station, riding in with suburban commuters, tiffin wallahs on the platforms already

    10/22/03  ....Audrey gets in the Ladies car again, as train was already starting to pull away,  I pushed into nearest open door, only to realize it was second class. Luckily it was an express - counted over 250 people in that one car, 50 in the central standing section alone, several hanging out the door and just grabbing the overhang.  Finally squirmed to a place near seats so I only had 3 people pressing right against me.  Hoped I remembered the sequence of stations [at one station, just heard "Dadar! Dadar! Dadar!…” but usually couldn't see the station signs.]  As we approached Andheri, I started to make my move back into the press -no way anyone could have fallen.  At the station it was a rugby scrum, the first wave surged off the train; I almost made it, but then got hit with the counterattack from incoming patrons.  A few more pushes and I squirted onto the platform, arms flailing behind me, camera case still attached.
