Artist Manish Minglani, who commutes between Dwarka and Gurgaon everyday on the metro, decided to capture these characters o'n paper. He collaborated with art student Ashwani Nagar to create 12 illustrations for the series Life in a Metro.One shows people scrambling for seats in an empty coach. Another, `Taak Jhaak', shows neighbours peering over a commuter's shoulders to get a look at the day's newspaper. `Show Stopper' is a sassy youngster who refuses to join the queue for the oncoming train. He has headphones clamped on and is impervious to the glares of older passengers. The illustrations went viral on the internet after Minglani, who works as a creative controller at Ogilvy & Mather in Gurgaon, published them on his Facebook page last December. They have had more than 1,000 shares till now.
"I never thought they will go viral like this. My idea of doing this project was to highlight how we behave in the metro. I didn't want to criticize people so I thought why not use art and humour to make the point," says Minglani who took a month to make these images.
He and Nagar, a student at the College of Art, would sit at Rajeev Chowk metro station for hours observing people. "At times we would board the train at the last station to see whether people would still rush in to take seats even when the train was empty... and they did," says Minglani who drew most of the illustrations while riding the metro.
