Travelling by a metropolitan bus is not that agonising as widely apprehended.
Its fun, only if you stop fussing about the congestion and be a silent spectator to the events around you.
You can overhear phone conversations legitimately, watch quarrels for free, enjoy some rib-tickling visuals and get some F1 feel.
So lets start with the driver. All MTC drivers have this common syndrome called the 'GODLYMASSA'.
The syndrome derives it name from the fact that ....
Well what do you do. . when somebody hits you for no fault of yours ????
Some Valiant guys among you will hit back . some revolutionaries ( as we can call them ) , with just mental strength , will raise up in protest … some very diffident people will just walk away with sobs …
Now Lemme know how you people will react.. When you are in a highway. .caught up in a signal and leading a battalion of Guys armed with Buses ( MTC ) , Cars , AUTOS ( Prominent among them ) .. waiting to go past the red signal , sensing that it is safe to do so .. since it is early morning and there are no pedestrians around , no vehicles around and it is safe to move on . Any Reactions ????
Well I reacted this way .. last weekend . . I thought , even though it was safe to move on , let me wait for the green light because by moving on , I would make the signals lose their utility , they would become meaningless , … Over all I was trying to be a dutiful citizen .
But the mob behind me got infuriated , showered abuses on me and wanted me to move out of their way . I din have any other option but to break the law with them ( not justifying anything, but the MTC Bus Driver abusing with whatever he could get on his mouth was a bit too much .. Hey guys self esteem matters a little to me ) .
Alas , our countrymen are fond of showing their unity in arenas like this . Is it a crime to be lawful . .. ??? “At last I walked away with sobs”…
Now tell me who is LEAST ACKNOWLEDGED?
A. A Lawful citizen
B. A Traffic Signal
Bye for now ..
"DIFFIDENT GUY"
