My Bus Journey...

I boarded this bus about 8 years back. I was thrilled to be on it as it was my first bus travel. I didn't know where the bus would take me, but, was excited about the ride!

When a guy sitting next to me, who was about to depart, asked me 'So, which is your stop?', I replied 'Its a place nearby - I won't be here for long! :)'. Its very funny, when I think of it after all these years!

During my time in the bus, I've met many people, made friends with some, had few enemies as well. I've seen people depart at various stops, to board other buses. I've also witnessed new people choosing to board my bus as well. But, for some reason I just continued in my seat. May be I got too comfy in it!

Most people can't believe when I say that I've been travelling in this bus for 8 years now. Sometimes, it boggles me too!. From time to time, I hear from people that better and more sophisticated buses have come in the market and that I should explore them. Hmm...may be I should, may be not!

I've never felt tired in this bus. I am always thankful to it for letting me have a seat! I've always had something to keep myself engaged during this journey. I've had my challenges that thought me new lessons, and times of glory that I would cherish forever.

One day, when I run out of reasons to be here, when I think that me and bus have no use for each other, I would surely get off, to board another one, hopefully a better one. But, no matter where I go, I know that I will be as happy as my mind wants me to be!

As your co-passenger, I have enjoyed every bit of my journey, treading paths I have never traveled before, sights I have never seen before enjoying each second of my journey...

At the same time I thank GOD for showing me that among the ones who shove and push each other for a seat in the bus, there are still ones who believe in letting others have theirs and help those weak ones to a seat !!
