Citybus ~ small journey

Believe me, it will be hilarious to all those who are gonna read it, but it was pathetic time I had one day...

I never waited for a city bus for more than 20-25 mins in my life. but, on Friday I had to go home by bus which would start at CMBT, pretty far from office. ..if at all I have to take an auto/cab I am damn sure that they will charge me up to 1500 bucks :P which costs my to & fro journey tickets. no other option, I chose to go by local bus..So, I waited and finally glad to see it..and entered into the bus after taking enough breath.I was totally annoyed by seeing the huge/large/immense crowd of people there.. Thank god, I took ample breath while entering which make me alive for at least a couple of mins. I wondered I at least did not have enough place to stand/sit/move or take breath. I never expected this in 570 bus because I heard that the frequency of bus is very rare, it takes 2 hrs to reach CMBT from metikuppam and there won't be much rush, moreover it's AC Volvo Chennai/not B'lore.

One guy asked me to move..oh bloody hell!where, where should I move?I just told him to stand/sit on my head, but i was lucky this time I did not have luggage, usually I carry at least one bag to home every time I go/come from. My legs were paining, my head was spinning and the bus is like fish market.with one lakh and twenty thousand people..few were hanging, few were fighting, few were chitchatting, few were sitting on my head..but people people people..full of people everywhere,every corner..I was vexed of standing there, i was looking sadly at one guy, but no dice, he told me that he wouldn't get down early..So, i decided to listen some cool and melodious songs
--dil kyun yeh mera...la la la... Err!!i did not feel like listening, so forwarded it.
--behne de mujhe behne de...oops!again forwarded..
--uppenantha ee prema ki....again!forwareded...

I did not know...i did not feel like listening to them, may be the song frequency was not matched with the bus..now next song was zoobi doobi...remix!yippie..seemed good and matching frequency..bus was noisy, remix songs were jazzy and i was drowsy. mean while i noticed one guy about to step down, waah!i grabbed that seat and finally i got a place to relax and lay down..as my primary motto after stepping into bus was to catch a seat..I was elated as it got fulfilled some how..

so such was the journey..just 1 hr and 15mins...thoda irritating thoda disturbing..hahaha!!

Go green Pune :)

Yesterday, when I was on my way to home from office, a stranger stopped me all of a sudden. Actually I was carrying a plastic bag contained vegetables/eatables, he explained me that there started a policy at Pune recently.The policy is something like, if a person using plastic bags are caught by the Cops, then they have to pay Rs.500-Rs.1000/- bucks as penalty it seems. He asked me to hide that plastic bag with my shawl or to put it inside my hand bag. I was not surprised as I heard my roommate saying me this. I just wipe off all this things thinking all these are not been followed and nobody is been observed/caught unless I am caught once. After all,we have only one life, so I never care about all these rules.

Once, I have also noticed at Reliance fresh near my office, there is board showing "Carry your own bags and double your points in card". This create awareness among people not to use them, as they create hazards to life and banning it not only saves the environment, but alsoit brightens nature. Anyways, I am happy to see this kind of activities at Pune, as they inspire everyone not to carry plastic bags. But sometimes I am bad, I cannot desist myself when I am lack of my hand bag or my own bag!!
