The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus station was strangely quiet. No announcements were made, and the buzz of people was somewhat subdued. In the silence, only the stationary train seemed to sense the passage of time.

At this station, even when it was time for the train to depart, no bell rang and no announcement was made. Just quietly, without warning, the train starts moving toward its destination. The doors never close and the train remains open. For passengers who do not know the timetable, the moment when the train unexpectedly begins to move may evoke surprise and impatience.

There was a strange harmony between the quietness of this station and the spontaneous movement of the trains. It seems chaotic, yet there is an orderly rhythm hidden within it. This is the flow of time peculiar to Indian train stations.
