Its the Bus experience(read it as MONSTER GREEN BUS!!!!)..Yah..have you ever travelled in a full fledged monster bus(the MTC buses at peak hours)??
My day starts with these buses..(guyzz any buses around 8-10 in the mornin and 5-10 in the evening falls into this category)
We(Me n other office goers cum my co-passengers) await for these buses patiently and as we get a peek of the buses from as far as our visibility goes, we get ready for our BATTLE (yeah its a battle!!),to climb the bus first and try to locate a place where we can stand comfortably (seated passengers are kings..they catch the bus at the terminals unlike us in bus stands).As the bus comes closer we hurry up pulling and pushing others with all our might to get into the bus!!
After successfully entering the "Monster kingdom" we give a sigh of relief (oofffhhh) hang on guyzz the journey has just started..
There are lots of characters you can meet inside this small kingdom..
There are these old grannies who keep shouting at youngsters to get up and give them place to sit (if you resist then out comes the curses from their mouth,which you would have hardly heard of).
There are these grandpas who constantly chat about politics(this election I bet there is going to be change in parties..probably he is going to withdraw his support..blah blah..half of these stories bounces off my head).
There are these aunties who keep wailing at conductor.."Give back my change" ,"I need my 1re back".
There are these small kids whose shoulder burdens are much heavier than themselves!!(wonder how many subjects they have in school!!The whole library seems to be in the bag!!).
Then there are uncles(they are the adorables for they teach me a lot..),who keep discussing about latest stories cooking..from India winning the Sri-Lanka series to Saina Nehwal coming back home in "CHARIOT OF FIRE" everything you can hear (I don't have to regret for missing my morning headlines!!)..there are these young gals who are either busy in their calls or dozing off (yeah many do sleep..probably they are not morning birds I guess!!)
Apart from these commotions,fights,traffics,wicked roads there is a pleasantry...there is an unwritten culture ,to greet Good Morning (with a SMILE) to those unknown strangers but known faces (com'on, we are regulars in this bus route!!).
I never knew that a simple nod, a simple Good Morning, a simple smile, a simple Hi from strangers..can make MY DAY!! :):)
Guess Monster Bus is not that Monstrous!!!! :):)
Have a great day..from this stranger....
