I don't know how many of you here travel by bus everyday .. I do these days..Have to say, traveling by bus really puts you up close to what it is to be a common man in our country!
The frustrated souls who travel by bus everyday.. why frustrated? I can see nothing but frustration written all over their faces.. I am assuming they are married people! :-P or the middle aged ladies who hate standing even for a minute, they will do anything and everything to sit! LOL .. If all those women applied even half the tricks and tactics in other things they wouldn't have to travel by bus! :-)
Or the show offs like me who carry over sized bags on their backs and a book in hand, and seem to get time to study only in the bus! :P Or those over smart people who don't want to buy tickets!
Those over worked necks of bus drivers answering the same question to thousand different people, smiling faces of the all the cute kids which makes your day!
Or the nice nice Gaalis you get to hear the moment some other vehicle hits a bus.. Trust me even Roadies cant teach you that stuff.. Thank God for my earphones!
Or the stupid need of some people to get down first, I mean why? What difference will 10 seconds make? Only God should know! But some times I do run for a bus.. No other go.. Quite a revelation for a lazy person like me ;-)
Thanks to all the VOLVO buses, there is some relief.. Even though the fares are pretty high, I think its totally worth it!
So bus is not just a means of transport.. its an institution in itself.. There are new lessons to be learnt everyday and of course new adventures!
