In this story, the narrator expresses concern over a situation in a crowded Delhi Metro train where a group of girls asks a tired man to vacate his seat, which is reserved for women. The narrator tries to engage his friend Rachel in a discussion about this, but she is distracted by her phone. Despite the narrator's annoyance at Rachel's indifference, she argues that it's common for men to give up their seats for women. The narrator sympathizes with the man, noting that he appears weary from carrying a heavy bag and feels the girls could easily stand and chat instead. The story highlights issues of gender dynamics and social norms regarding reserved seating in public transport.
