bussssssssss!!!!

Travelling in a bus through the city at rush hour can enlighten, entertain and of course it can get u trampled too. Since our privatebus drivers imagine themselves to be Frank Martins (the Transporter), we even get to go on a really wild amusement park ride just at the expense of a few bones and a couple of bucks.. itz even cheaper if u’re travellin on a students ticket :D
The enlightening part of the bus ride comz when u offer a seat to som old lady... coz som day tht old person is gonna be u nd somone els will be offering u a place to sit..man!! !growin up is real scary stuff :o
Menacing aunties have been a perennial source of entertainment in these buses.. they’re like a mafia or moralpolice or somthin…always found in large numbers, waitin 4 people to accidentally stamp on them so they can vent all their existential angst on unsuspectin ppl. Nd som of them seem to hve a really good sense of humour…u’ll be perched at the end of a seat coz som sumo aunty is occupyin more than her share of the seat nd thn another sumo aunty wud com nd ask.. ‘moleh, plz adjust a bit. Let me also sit’.. wht the!!!!
Last day somethin really funny happened. A lady accidentally stepped on som galz leg. The gal must have made som face or complained coz all of a sudden the lady turned violent. She started shouting nd the gal was stupid enough to shout back. Nd thus started an epic battle. The woman started sayin ‘delightful’ things abt the gal nd her entire family ..nd the gal wasn’t far behind in the shouting match.. Som guyz in the bus started cheerin nd clappin, sayin ‘yea..letz hve a wrestling match..the person who wins gets a free ticket’.. ‘up up ammachi’…. Finally the ammachi got down from the bus nd continued shouting standin on the road nd the driver ws havin such a fun time watchin the spectacle that he wouldn’t start the bus….
My most embarassin moment happened durin a busride..the ticket checker got inside the bus nd ws checkin all the tickets..being a lazy person I never throw away all those tickets nd when I opened my bag to give the ticket to the checker I got the shock of my life…there were around 10 to 15 ticketz in my bag nd I had no idea whch one ws I supposed to give…so I selected a ticket in random nd gave it to the checker..he shook his head nd said tht wsnt it..so I gave him another…nd another…nd another…
Hehehe …tht guy said tht nxt time he wud throw me outta the bus :D…
