Bedeutung
Stating that transportation has departed already.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'ST' (State Transport) bus is the symbol of rural connectivity. Missing the 'ST' often means waiting until the next day in remote villages. In Mumbai, 'Gadi sutali' is a phrase of high anxiety. People literally jump into moving trains to avoid saying this phrase. Many Marathi poems use the departing train as a metaphor for the passing of youth or the end of an era. On Marathi Twitter/Instagram, 'Gadi sutali' is used when someone is late to a trending topic or a meme.
