Sending my love to India on Independence Day. Ours is an astounding land of over a billion people, over a billion opinions (generally loudly expressed), and over a billion gripes. A place where there is so much wrong, yet so much right. Mumbai's local trains are a perfect microcosm, don't you think? The hordes rush to board. There is some gentle elbowing, some aggressive pushing. Yet in the end we make room for everyone, we "adjust". It may be a little bit uncomfortable at times, but it'll get you where you need to go. Vande Mataram, and Jai Hind all.
