I have now moved to Bangalore from Chennai But I still use the stress free bus services to commute to work.
This is an account of a marvelous experience which all of us feel.
I travel from Old Airport Road to Hosur Road in Bangalore in a particular Volvo bus 505A series. This is the only bus which directly connects the south east to the south west.
Each morning I reach the stop exactly at 7.35. Usually I am the first followed by many anonymously known faces who wait for the same series. We dont even know the other's name but still feel a sort of comfort when we meet each other.
The same bus of course, the same driver/conductor who dont even check our passes, the same people, the same seats and a glance to greet each other. The greet varies from a hundredth of a smile to a cordial good morning but we are definitely happy to meet each other.
Back in the office, there are almost 150 consultants on the same floor as I am. Except for associates from my immediate cubicle, I dont know anyone and now I feel strange about it.
Its all about how the mind is fresh, observant and human when it is relaxed. Its this unknown force in the morning which gives me quite a thrill in anticipation of yet another journey and a sense of work and urgency as soon as i enter the office premises.
I was talking about this to my friends and they have similar experiences. Of course all of us do.
I am not getting a proper end to this tale.
Maybe I will continue after your comments :))))
