After exiting her house she looked for any passenger vehicle that could help her reaching metro station.
She takes this kind of passenger vehicles to commute daily while going to and coming back from the metro station.
There are sometimes when her Papa or brother also give pick or drop her.
But she likes to do this on her own.
Some days it is very difficult to find any vacant vehicle because of the peak office hours.
If one gets an empty vehicle in one go, then one can assume that it is your lucky day.
And luckily she saw an e-rickshaw approaching her and she waved her hand gesturing the driver to stop the vehicle.
(Electric rickshaws or e-rickshaw have been becoming more popular in most cities of India since 2008 as an alternative to auto rickshaws and pulled rickshaws because of their low fuel cost, and less human effort compared to pulled rickshaws.
They are being widely accepted as an alternative to petrol/diesel/CNG auto rickshaws.
They are on sharing basis with minimal fares charged, that is why they are popular these days.)
On seeing a girl waving her hand to stop, it stops near her.
She asked the driver to where they are heading.
The driver told her that they are going towards the metro station.

Cool breeze of morning is caressing her face and body.
Some loose strands of hairs are moving freely across her face.
Her heart is at peace today. Unknowingly a smile crept on her face as she felt happy from within.
The metro arrived in few minutes. She quickly boarded her train.
