The Paris Transportation Authority recently released a politeness manual for people travelling on the city's subway services. Titled Politeness Manual For The Modern Traveller, the booklet can be downloaded from the transportation authority's website. The 12 guidelines, which have been illustrated with playful drawings - fall under four categories - helpfulness, courtesy, manners and politeness. The commandments, scripted in a poetic language to accent the drawings, have been selected from 2,000 submitted by commuters. One of the rules that discourages people from exposing their smelly pits before fellow passengers, reads: "Like a king penguin, to keep one's arms by one's sides on very hot days and grab the bottom of the post, not the very top."

Well, our Bharat mahaan has no dearth of such issues either. Whether it's stinky armpits or the inescapable X-ray stares, the Indian metro sees it all. Here's why we need our own desi version of the politeness manual right away.

Why Indian metro users need a guide to polite behaviour while using metro trains

The standard nose picker: We've all come across this kind, haven't we? They usually sit in one corner and dig their nose and slyly rub off the dug up stuff under the seat. Please keep the metro clean.

The pusher: There are just too many of these kind. Those who frequent the Rajiv Chowk station in Delhi would know. Queuing up is the only solution.

Peeing on the tracks: Most metro stations have public loos in them, then why do some parents make their children pee on the tracks?

Men sitting in seats reserved for women: Following simple instructions would make the world so much nicer to live in, no?

Altaf Raja 2.0: Listening to your iPod is fine. But, singing along? Not cool. Not cool at all.

Four people crammed in two seats: Even if you find yourself a seat, don't be too thrilled. Our aam aadmis have no reservations in cramming up even if there is just a one-thumb space left.

The X-raying eyes: This species is the most incorrigible of all. Whether a woman is wearing full-sleeved clothes or mini skirts, this breed will not blink till the scanning process is complete.

Stinky issues: Everyone can't smell like mint at all times, especially after a hard day's work. But, standing in the hands-up position (all the way to the top bar) with smelly underarms is the pits!

The depressed ones: The metro track isn't for suicide attempts. As sad and depressing as one's life would be, what fault is it of others? Why should they suffer the consequent delays?

The phone jockey: Your personal life of no interest to others. Please talk softly around others.
