Congestion, Jammed in a jampacked bus!

You actually dont mind it,Or maybe you dont have any choice but to not!

A large mis-shapped cuboidal tin can. With jellybeans inside. Live ones! As the tin is shaken, the beans inside shake along. Conduction, the physicists call it so.

Wobbly biomasses too many in number for a short area, whose presence irritates you, and your's irritates them too. Standing so close to each other, the only place where the Indian brethen could be seen united, well.... irritated too!!

In a country like India, you either find yourself in such a situation early morning, or early evening.

Now you find yourself in a bus full of people, Early morning!

Picture standing rite in middle of the crowd.

You're saved because it is morning.People are just out from a bath. The air now is actually inhalable.Since you're standing, and in case you are tall enough, your nose might get close to someone's head.

And fortunate enough if he/she had taken a bath.

Heavy smell of shampoo, soap, face wash, deo, and also a thick layer of fair and handsome/lovely.It freshens your mind, keeps you awake.

But its early morning!!

What if someone's out of the restroom too soon??

What if someone pharts??

You'll feel the pinch now, I'm sorry!-You'll smell the pinch now!

Since you've no way to move out, this stink finds no way to escape. Stays on for sometime, intensifies and then finally makes an exit to all your noses.

You swear at someone who steps on your branded puma or get sworn by someone whose foot you stepped on, ouroborous.

You get down and then pour off all your irritation onto your subordinates. Human!

Now you find yourself in a bus full of people, Early evening!

Picture standing rite in middle of the crowd.

Pity you, pity pity! Imagine, slimey sweaty people standing so close to you, so close that they wipe their sweat over you.

I know, P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C!

Hmmm, there's sweat, dirt, stench, humdity in the air with the heavy evening traffic creating a thick air already.

You're saved from intentional/unintentional phaarts though.Restless you still become, heavy air around. People already pissed off at work, vent out their irritation. In the end build it up. Suffocation, scarce fresh air.

It doesn't matter what time of the day it is, some things are common.

Take this one for an example, the big guy!! same shirt for a week or maybe more!! blue or khakhi-never mind, its the sameshirt!!

Self suited mantra - Ticket eduthaacha?? or Ticket Ticket?? or ......

An average math student. A hypertension patient too. Well that's inevitable isn't it? He's after all, a civil servant. Moves around, tearing off petite government challans. Sad, this group earns the least amount of bribery, albeit it is relatively the closest form of a relation between the government and the public.

Sits atop the dedicated corner seat next to the door.

All he worries about is filling the handheld matrix form ledger.

There is another income generating group. Pretty good situationists they are. Parasites, eat your pocket to fill theirs. Pocket Pickers. With the perfect stealth and silence, they go on with their businesses.

Smart entreupreuners

Bus journeys early morning make your day. Its the first social event that you participate involuntarily.

Socialize in case you are a frequent commuter. Or be a silent dumbass, silently bird watching every stop. Your say! A morning detour on a crowded bus always makes you frown when you get off it, wishing either you had your own vehicle or you did not miss your common car pool. But something like that is always fun. Sometime when you get to shove people away and no one can question you.

Bus journeys in the evening, end your day. You're completely worked out. Straight into Sleep's arms.

End of Tale

Get up the next day and it goes on all over again.
