So I recently started travelling by local every day, and it’s still kinda new to me. Earlier I’d travel once in a while, but now it’s a daily thing.
I always get into the same general bogie because I’ve gotten used to it. And before anyone comes at me being a woman myself, I’ll say this: the ladies’ coach is the scariest place on earth 😭. They genuinely don’t give a flying fuck, everyone’s rude as hell, and I can’t even argue back because the Marathi they speak is absolutely khatarnak 😭.
Anyway, there’s this uncle who gets down at the second station every day, so I know I’ll usually get his seat.
Yesterday I was already tired and really wasn’t in the mood to stand. I was waiting near his seat, but at the next station this guy came in and stood right inside. I instantly knew that once the uncle got up, I wouldn’t even have space to rush in and sit. So I was already annoyed.
The station arrived, uncle got up, and the guy got the seat. I have this terrible habit where my expressions say everything, so I definitely stared at him a little too hard with a “haan bhai, tu hi baith ja, andar ghus hi gaya hai toh” look 😭.
And then… he looked at me and went, “Aap baith jao.”
I have no idea if he was just being genuinely nice or if my death stare scared him 😭. I told him, “No no, you sit,” but I was still lowkey pissed.
Then another uncle, who’d probably noticed I’d been standing for a long time, did the sweetest thing. Before his station came, he looked at me, called me over, and made sure I was standing right next to his seat so nobody else could take it before I sat down 😭❤️.
Idk… it was such a small thing, but moments like these remind me that there are genuinely kind and respectful men out there. Just a small appreciation post for the men who quietly look out for women without making a big deal out of it. 🫶

TL;DR: Started travelling by local every day, got tired, lost the seat I was waiting for, but two random men made sure I got one. Small gesture, huge respect. Men like this restore your faith. 🫶😭

Ik she’s not relevant here, but wtf is she being mean? “Inframe:(@vriddhipatwa)
