1) iPod - People today are very aware of the current happenings and have plethora of views on politics, sports, family problems, professional disagreements, future plans blah blah blah. They want to share their wisdom with the world. What better place than public transportation ?
Information galore, but sadly for an average brain like mine, the left cerebral hemisphere doesn't respond very well to all this wisdom. So unless you have hearing impairment or you don't have an opinion of your own which you have a strong urge to defend, iPod is a must.
2) Water bottle - Many a times you will find yourself stuck in between stations with a soft voice saying "There will be a delay in this service". The delay is a function of inefficiency of DMRC officials. Since the probability of this function having high value is close to 1 so its recommended that you carry a water bottle.
3) Books/Kindle - Books are man's best friend. Well, it pretty much serves the same purpose as Ipod keeping you occupied. But its not very often that you'll be fortunate enough to get a seat in peak office hours.
So next time you see a person sitting in metro with iPod in ears and reading a book, remember ... they are God's special people, for, they've been bestowed with power of relaxation.
4) Yoga/Balance skills - Sometimes it may happen that you'll have to stand in awkward positions with nothing to grab. You don't wanna be swaying like a drunkard and exchanging glares with other drunkards. To combat such precarious situations, you may wanna practice exercises like one legged stands, on your toes and heel stands in your free time. Yoga will definitely help.
5) Mask - You may bump into someone whom you have known in the past (say your Ex) but haven't talked to in a long while for obvious reasons. Believe you me, too many filler words and pointless chitchat over a long journey can leave you with sensory deprivation. A mask will come in handy ;)
