Journey to office from JP Nagar 3rd phase

Though its a short distance..It does seem like a journey when you observe so many things new around you!!


I was Waiting for a bus in majestic.After a long time-lag there appeared a red volvo bus.The BMTC officials are also very smart.They have made these AC buses available only for the destinations where many IT persons go.Because they are the only people who does not care to spend for their own comfortable journey.Earn and Enjoy present moment of life..save little for the future  is their slogan of living..because present is present..you ll never get back this moment..I appreciate our way of leading life though......


The bus door was gushed with crowd...People had got into a competetion of pushing each other,as if there was some precious stone hidden inside the bus.Everyone were entangled in such a way that,it seemed like deadlock for any of them to successfully get a seat(i remembered operating system concept where no process can get executed once dead lock condition is reached).With great effort i got into and managed to get a window seat.


The most irritating people in bangalore are Bus conductors and Auto drivers.


Bus Conductors dont give you change immediately,instead they write amount to be returned on the ticket expecting you to ask the change while you are getting down, with all your tensions basically they expect you to forget by the time you reach your destination stop.


Auto Drivers have this fictitious thinking that Money freely flows from invisible trees visible only for people who work in IT companies.So with your tag in hand you can never reach your destination with normal amount.They start demanding triple the actual amount.This is really insane!!!!....


okay let me come back to my part of the story...

conductor came close by calling out Tickeeeet!!! Tickeeeeet ! Tickeeeeet!!!

When my turn came,i didnt have change,gave 100 bugs and as expected he scribbled the change amount behind the ticket in return of change.

Dropping the ticket inside my pocket,i was silently looking at the window.An avalanche of my thoughts commenced.

Thoughts are something which i can't avoid..They keep flooding in my mind without any effort from my side..

Interesting part is,i keep thinking about the things which i think i should not think.

This happens with everyone on this earth.If you want to forget someone you keep remembering them by thinking that you want to forget them.....LOL....


Finally my stop came closer..i looked at the conductor for the hopes of getting my change back.Suddenly he gave 100 bugs to a guy and asked me to collect the change from him who was also getting down at the same stop.

I remained silent wondering,how does he expect me to go behind this unknown person ...

I knew,i have to follow this guy like a hutch dog for my change.

Both of them got down.He was striding fast forward,looked back at me(He gave an expression as though he is calling a pug to follow him)....I had no other go other than following..Its matter of 70 bugs!!!!!!!!!!!!

He exclaimed,i dont have change!!what to do?...

I glanced around and found a shop.we went and placed an order of Diary milk chocolate..

He finally handed over that 100 bugs to shop keeper,which he was rigidly and tightly holding so far,as though i am gonna grab it from his hand and runaway.

Shop person replied in kannada "Madam,Change illa Madam"(No change)...OOOPs i thought...

Suddenly i realized Dad had given me some change..using which some how i could return back his 30 bugs..

If at all i had realized this before,i wud not have been landed in this situation..


Then enjoying the walk on the roads,i was kicking a stone ahead and ahead...I had got into a mission of kicking it all the way till office..At one point of time i just kicked it with little extra force,it went and thudded a number plate of the car..

There was a guy cleaning this car..I got little scared..didnt know wat to do...I asked him "sorry"..

He was gazing...His expressions were like the car was bleeding heavily and it requires an ambulance to be called..

..hmmmm i can understand his feelings...People periodically do facial and bleaching of their carzz to take care of it..

That too if people has any of these hi-fundaa fancy carzzzz,they take care of it more than their own children and spouse..

you do get angry when people spoil things which are close to you..But my actions were not intentional...I was sorry too!!!


Later i was exited to see some tension free faces of school kids in uniform..Among them there was a tall girl around the age of 13 who was carrying all the bags of other kids..I could sense dolefulness in her face..Felt bad..

Then i was immersed in  my future plans of sponsoring/adopting a kid..A sense of frission prevailed in me,thinking my family will never accept it.And its mysterious to what extent my future so called in-law's family take it..


Stepping few yards further,there was this lavishly built house which was out-standing prominently among the others.A very well fed hugely built dog was walking down the stairs with pride like the owner of the house ...It seemed so fit and healthy like a body builder,i thought may be the dog will go to gym accompanying the owner everyday.


Finally i reached my destination which read Kalyani Magnum....


At that point of time some incidents seems little grumpy and embarrassing,later if you think about it turns out to be an incident which must be remembered and laughed at..So never get embarrassed for small silly things..Just forget and try to grasp the positive or funny side of the things happening.
