After Shit... it's Spit!!!

Shitting isn't the only thing that Mumbaikars do on and around the railway tracks!!! The other day I was standing at Dombivli station waiting for the train. Suddenly, I see this middle-aged guy squirting the white liquid out on tracks. Well, that's not an unusual sight for someone from Mumbai. But what amazes me is the fact that this act spreads like an epidemic!!! The moment that guy spat his 'contribution' out, a flood of others joined him. Some red, some white. Some on the tracks, some on the edge of the platform, some in the corner of the pillar of the FoB under construction. Then, there are those who are too lazy to walk over to the edge and spit out on the tracks. They just try their luck using their effeciency in flat trajectory squirts!!! Some of those white/red liquid matter falls on the edge, while a good chunk falls on the track!!! These guys are true experts and master exponents in the art of spitting!!! They will easily go one-up on Di Caprio from Titanic!!! Those champions with the flatter trajectory are also able to generate pace in their squirt!!! They press their tongue between their two uneven and colourful set of sixteen (and perhaps lesser and in strange circumstances more!!!), collect the saliva in their mouth and releases the liquid with some force such that it comes out between the little gap in their two upper teeth!!! Quite a talent that... I must admit!!! One that I don't possess and I dont think I want to!!!

The amount of saliva that comes out, if collected, purified and converted into water, this could easily solve the problem of water shortage not just in Mumbai, but also in Maharashtra (well... even this seems an understatement... could easily quench the whole of India's thirst!!!.... YUK!!!)
