每年大寶森節(即係印度教徒有神靈附身, 可以毫無痛楚咁任鋼枝穿身體嘅Thaipusam節)前夕, 我都有個恐懼, 就係搭輕鐵返屋企嗰一刻.. 因為我屋企靠近大寶森節印度教徒朝聖聖地, 所以每年都一定係全城印度教徒傾巢而出去朝聖, 而輕鐵就順勢變成主要交通工具喇..
仍然好記得每次車廂都擠滿印度人, 我一人被四面八方印度同胞所包抄, 一眼望過去全部咁上下嘅黑髮濃眉勁粗二撇雞look, 如雷貫耳嘅係一種勁卷脷先可以講得到嘅陌生語言, 呼吸嘅係陣陣椰花油混合茉莉花嘅騎哩味道.. 我每次都同友人話我當時係印度洋中嘅一個孤島breathing indians in the train.. 個情景你可以想像到嘅話, 係超搞笑囉..
不過好奇怪, 今年竟然完完全全徹徹底底咁冇呢個情況發生, 真係嗤嗤稱奇啊!! 今年大寶森節列為吉隆坡假期, 前夕搭輕鐵返屋企又竟然同平日無異.. 真係唔應該咁架噃...
