Traveling by Local Transport

Traveling is a pure source of entertainment among young ones. But now, traveling is losing its charm among young generation and other alternates took place of it. Now most of the young generation likes to entertain themselves with Cell Phones. They spend their all time while chatting, SMS and making Calls. The reason is simple. Call Rates are low, and SMS are mostly free of cost after getting some package. So, its other topic, called “New generation and Cell Phones”. Today we are going to discuss about the traveling.
So, there are two main types of traveling, first within the city and secondly within the country. I will not talk about the upper class because I don’t know much about that, I am from a lower middle class so how the people of our class travel from one place to other, that’s what I am going to write. We use local transport to travel and mostly we find the same inside picture of all the buses.
Ok, I start my journey. If you lucky enough to travel from the starting start of route then you will have to face no problem. You just wait for the arrival of Bus. And as soon as possible you find the bus, rush towards it and sit on your desired seats. I am sure that the bus will fill just within the minutes. And then you will find standing passengers and some of them will not hesitate to sit on your shoulder, if you are sitting. But if you want to enter from the mid of any bus’s route then you will have to be more courageous. Make the full focus on that way from where the bus will give its appearance, as soon as you find the first glance of your desired bus, gather your all strength and step towards the bus yourself. Bus will bow down towards one side (gate side) because the passengers are already hanging with bus’s gate. As soon as bus stops on the stop. Hold your breath and push yourself in the sea of people, if you succeed, you will find yourself, among the restless people. You mouth will have been fixed under the armpit of some solid villager type of person, someone will keep on resisting to pull back his foot which, is under your feet. Some kid is trying to rush towards the gate, because his stop has been left behind. Soon you will settle in that atmosphere. Then you can enjoy your surroundings. You will find majority of students is hanging with the gate of bus, they have just a little support and the entire body is out of the bus. But they are happy, considering themselves as a spider man or superman, they enjoy their adventure. Remaining students are clinging with the grill, which is separating female and male portions of the bus. They are enriching their eyes with a deep gaze across the grill.
Then you will find a dirty faced kid, (who is lucky enough to have a seat with the window) vomiting on the road. All his face up to neck is outside the window, and he is busy to vomiting. His father or grandfather is sitting with is side seat, he is not worry at all. As it is the routine work of his travel. Another old man is standing along them, in his mind he is wishing to make a demand that “take your son in your lap and give me place” but due to the plight of that kid, he could not convert his wish to word. Soon you will feel a heavy hit of an iron pot. A milkman trying to get down the bus, he has 5 or 6 jars full of milk and he is pushing the jars towards the gate. Other passengers are putting pressure on the driver and conductor to move the bus as soon as possible. In haste milkman get down on the road along with his milk jars. As the bus moves he came to know that one of his jar is missing, he rushed towards the bus, soon the conductor throws the remaining jar on the road. Then you will listen some exchange of abuses from both sides (milkman and conductor) and then some passenger will pass comments, some in the favor of milkman and others in favor of conductor.
Suddenly a person starts paying regards to everyone and then he starts amusing the gathering with his own poetry. And after entertain the “Traveling Town” he offers something to sale only in 10 Rs. Which’s actual price is Rs. 100 in the market. Amazing! But it happens. So, start your struggle (to reach to the door) when your destination is three K.M ahead otherwise conductor will throw you out after passing the same distance from your desired bus stop.
