Every time I travel in a metro, the analogy of a metro with life crosses my mind and I just can't help myself wondering about the similarities.
The way we take birth, we enter a metro. Everyone enters from a different station. Its fixed when one will get down from the metro, the way its fixed we all have to die one day. To give more weight to my comparison, I often even compare the time we enter the station by swiping the token as the time one enters the mother's womb.
The difference is that on entering the metro, we remember where we have come from, our purpose of entering it and our station of getting down. Thats why we don't get attached to our fellow passengers and we don't cry when others get down :). We know about after metro exists, though a different one.
At times, one has to change the metro line(usually from CP ;) ). I compare that to rebirth :P. The lucky ones get out of the metro(Moksha in life) and others get a rebirth and re-enter the metro :).
As said in Hindu mythology, one gets human life after 84lacs other births, one keeps traveling in a metro after some time. Its a never-ending process :)
The comparisons are endless. I know I might be sounding stupid but I had to share this. Please let me know your comments on this analogy :)
