Public transport , an orgy

At some point of time we all must have traveled by some public mode of transportation. lemme share with you some of my weirdo experiences

I was in class xii when this happened so here it goes
waiting on the station for the rickety chapra express on the lucknow station, the train was scheduled to arrive at 6 30 am but after some time they announced the train was late by an hour i was dejected. thanks to the booming population i had to sit on my suitcase . I was a bit senti as i had left my home early in the morning then i saw this poor girl must be around 7 (the same age i was packed off to school) and as i was looking at her she came to me to ask for money i didn't know what to do so i hushed her away on the pretext of buying water. when i came back she was doing her usuall rounds going to people. my eyes couldn't leave her, everyone shooed her . it was just too much already my eyes were half watery (how ever tough u may be but when u leave home your eyes do get wet ) i went to her and gave her 50 bucks and came back sat on my suitcase fished out a book from my rucksack.
after say 10 minutes there were 10 kids surrounding me !!
what next u can imagine

six months later
while returning from mumbai i was sitting next to this very cute girl we got into a small talk and somehow the hours felt like minutes then something happened i fail to understand even today something i said or something i did she said ' what are you hitting at i am married' and poor me i was hell embarrassed Kodak moment for sure

i was traveling in a bus with my sister she was at the window seat i beside her and next to me was a woman wearing a burqa with a toddler in her arms halfway through the journey her head would fall on my shoulder i was so exasperated but didn't have the guts to say anything my sister saw this and the next time her head touched my shoulder my sister pushed her away and gave her such looks only 2 women can understand perhaps but thanks to her that woman stayed inches away from me.

I was in a bus with a friend returning from world book fair when a drunkard boarded the bus . a group of fellow passengers threw him out from the window while the bus was gaining speed for a second i was like what the hell but then i started to laugh at the scenario

Traveling in bus i was sitting on the last seat. unfortunately i got a seat ,anyway after sometime a group of women boarded the bus . one sat next to me there was place for one the second one squeezed in between chalo theek hai afterall its india and the third one sat on my lap !! i said " hello, you are sitting on my lap please do you mind" she said "i am not sitting over you" absolutly hilarious then i tried to wiggle out of my seat but you know buses in delhi i couldn't move an inch some of my friends saw this and started laughing uncontrollably instead of helping me out. finally i managed to move out and then the guts of that damn woman she actually thanked me for giving her my seat and even said nowadays we don't find people like me who would leave a seat for a woman . like hell i would or care nevertheless i decided next time someone pulls this type of crap i will give it straight back to that person


another incident while in bus we were returning from auto expo 2007 and were in high spirits as our stop was coming closer we decided to move towards the gate. in the process one of my friends accidentally tripped on a girls dupatta and fell over her and her mother became so hysterical cursing us. we were hoping she wouldn't create a bigger scene and gather a crowd duly apologized and left

I was returning from my relatives place so took an auto till college thinking its time i say goodbye to buses but no my fate has something else planned a damn eunuch stopped the auto and sat next to me. i was like huh ok . he/she asked me what the time was i took out my cell and told the time. the next request was can i use your cell i have to make one local call i politely declined said i don't have much balance. next 10 seconds were crucial i was contemplating what to do and the next thing which happened was he/she grabbed my hand! i was shell shocked immediately i pulled back my hand he/she said "what's wrong in this " i said get away from me and i asked the auto driver to lessen the speed and jumped out
A Narrow Escape indeed

I was at the varanasi station going to board a train back to home on the over bridge i had a sky bag and a rucksack out of no where a group of eunuch es surrounded me and asked for money luck for me i took mom's advice and my walled had only few wads of currency i said i don't have anything. they started laughing and one of then said a few censored words
i just ran ran and ran and the people over there they saw i was surrounded but on one came to help me out damn this junta

hmm kaafi bore kar diya i guess
that's all for now lets see what the future holds :P
