One Day At Local Bus






Its 7:00 A.M

I opened my eye,as my eye went on the clock “Shit!! Its 7:00” my entire sleep ran away at the same speed as a robber runs after stealing an ornament.

I rushed and get ready just like a superman oops! I mean superwoman and reached bus stop.I want to have a new local travelling experience ,which compelled me to take a local morning bus at this jam packed city. 

Within fraction of seconds I am inside this box with wheels with limited seats ,extra people are standing with eagle eye ready to snatch an empty seat without letting the prey go offsite.
I stood for almost 10 minutes seeing people uploading and downloading but there is this man in khakhi colour outfit no matter in which space of this box he is standing, he will immediately observe this process ,make his way out of the crowd with not even an inch to move and ask for ticket. Seriously this requires concentration with senses working every minute to check footfall in the bus if missed money will be gone.


There are two sections inside bus woman and Men and khahki gentleman stands in between like a wall to make sure that men are not entering the women zone.Finally after standing for almost 10 minutes I have my reward in front of me my seat but to reach there I have to be a warrior who has to pass all the hurdles on way (Indeed way is just 4 steps away) bags, people, no space, shouting


So finally after saying sorry every second and pushing people aside I reached .15 women are standing in front of me (space is only for maybe 10 people )holding pipes to avoid falling but still on every break every single person in this bus fall on each other inspite of no space.Some people are hanging on doors , while some are sandwich and others who are sitting are takings bags or butts of standing people on their face with a hope that fellow should not fart at the moment.



School children , workers , old age , young people, ladies with lot of bags, husband shielding wife and baby from crowd , men bashing on each other, people hanging like clothes on doors , sometimes even feet are not touching ground just hanging on air, inside smell , outside smell , somebody talking on phone loud enough to advertise his conversation, struggling to make way out of bus, people are sitting and standing with headsets murmuring songs , some sleepy heads , some extreme active mode.. but …..


Everyone is rushing to reach their destinations despite upset mind, fresh mind,sad face, happy face, tensed face, angry face but they are running 
keeping all emotions and problems aside….
