For people who live outside the capital, it's always been a struggle to pay a visit there, different reasons to consider. I used to say, City of Strangers. Yeah, still I call this city by that name, different reasons, and experiences to count.
The country is already highly populated and as the capital is center to everything, literally everything which made it even more populated. Surprisingly it's one of the worst places to live in. We can not but depend on it for various important work or facilities. It's the facilities it has to offer which is the only positive thing I consider among all those negative things that come with that.
Got relatives in the capital and I had to live for almost five months during my admission. Different needs are also on the list which compels me to visit at least once every month. So everything is coming from experiences. One of my relatives is the local so they got good neighbors, and the other had bought a flat yet they live like they are on their own, haven't got co-operative neighbors, the downside of living in commercial zones. There were rumors/predictions that if you are injured and crying for help on the road, ninety percent of people will walk away as everyone has their own headaches to solve. It's like they are not humans, just some robots, running from sunrise to dawn, all machines without any feelings.
I have seen twice how cunning people can be, just to get a few extra bucks, even the rickshaw pullers will bring the shit out of you. You are a newcomer? Don't know the exact destination? Welcome bro, you will be riding 5km just to reach a place somewhere between 0.5km. Fairs will be like 2x, 3x, or even more. Have seen it multiple times, and everyone is ready for an opportunity no matter if it's ethical or not. And the other one is govt hospitals, good doctors with less money but the struggle is beyond descriptions, demand and supply are not balanced which creates the gap for corruption, have seen this scenario very closely. One might say, these are identical in the other cities too. Yeah, but not as intensive as here.

Was in the capital, in someone's area. I don't know what was the game here to cross that person in this crowd of millions, who was very dear to me once and crossed me like a stranger, even though I hadn't paid any attention as a mountain was standing between us. I was just shocked, at how a chance to cross one in a million got executed. It's truly a city of strangers, known persons also become strangers here too. This is the beauty of Life!
