Most of the women that I see on the metro have long hair, but these ladies really stood out.

Sometimes there are women who spend their commute doing something else other than on the phone. Here’s a girl who was reading a religious text and chanting throughout her journey.

 

This girl spent the journey staring at her reflection on the window behind me. I forgave her, she had just lost a gold ring.




Sometimes the women are pretty interesting.



If they’re dull, I practise.

The mobile phone is surely the lifeline of commuters everywhere. Here’s a girl gossiping on the phone while her neighbor is engrossed in eating a bhutta (corn) even though eating is not allowed on the Metro.

She’s drinking juice while talking on the phone -

While this girl is talking on a phone held to her ear and watching a video on another one in her hand!

*(OH: You’re so jealous of my happiness)

I would draw the women at 6 pm than the ones at 7:45 anyday!

Part 1

I usually spend an hour on the Delhi Metro every evening. Sometimes I sketch the women around me (since I travel in the women’s coach).

In Bombay a maid who comes to help with the housework is called a ‘bai’.

After the Swedish winter, everything is better – but I still froze in Delhi.
