He said: "I used to catch the train that would leave from Kandivali station at 9.02 a.m. If I missed that train, I would get an earful from my boss. Thus I would always strive to catch that train, even if there was no space inside, and I would always find myself standing at the door. At 9.02 a.m. as I was travelling to the office, I was not happy at all, there was an inner voice saying, 'I need change'". He added how he realised that if he was not going to change his profession he will keep travelling in local trains only.

"There was a 14-year-old standing in front of me at the door. Behind him was an 18-year-old boy and behind him I was there and then behind me was a 45-year-old man.

I did not want to be 45 and standing in the same place. That was the time I decided I wanted to get off the train."
