New Delhi: It is 9am on a Tuesday and Rajesh Singh, 30, is travelling by the Metro to Gurugram on the Yellow Line. Singh, who lives in Seelampur in a rented room and works as a carpenter in Gurugram, takes the red and the yellow line almost every day.<\/p>\n
Sitting next to him is Piyush Arora, a senior executive with an IT company; the two are talking about Singh\u2019s ailing 7-year-old daughter, who was admitted in Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya, a government hospital in Geeta Colony in east Delhi, for a week. \u201cIt was through his contact that my daughter got a bed in the hospital,\u201d says Singh, pointing to Arora, who travels between Green Park, where he lives, and Gurugram, where he works.<\/p>\n
The two first got talking two months ago inside a Metro compartment when Arora saw a visibly distressed Singh talking to his wife on the phone. \u201cHe was on the verge of tears, and I could not help asking what was wrong. That is when I got to know about his unwell daughter,\u201d says Arora, who made the switch from his car to the Metro four months ago. \u201cThe traffic is so terrible, so I tried the Metro and now I take it quite often.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
