Route 500: My journey

My life has been on roller coaster for the last couple of months… I used to enjoy ferrying so many young bright, smart, dynamic, tech savvy, career aspiring, “access control badge totted “ youngsters for many years in my cool, clean, sound proof interiors… for over many years. 

 

All of sudden, I have been deserted by this fun loving, energetic passengers… I miss them a lot .. be it their cool headed approach to me or their ‘don’t care’ attitude to fellow passengers – some times, because they are busy with music… phone calls etc. Infact, I would like to describe my passengers in two categories – broadly Girls and boys.. Sorry! Adults with head phones and with out headphones.. Let me call them “PWH” – Passengers with Head phones and others as “PNH”.. “Passengers with normal Heads”.. 

 

I love PWH, because they are always quite,, they don’t disturb fellow passengers,, they don’t disturb  kids,, they don’t trouble my Heart and Soul – Drivers and Conductors.. PWH don’t bother or fret about no seat, less AC, or noise from my Radio Mirchi adds about “super luxury apartments with no EMI till next year… whenever that is ..” or “mouth-watering dishes of Buffet lunches in ring road restaurants….as though  it is free…”  Some of them even miss their stopping because they don’t listen to my automatics announcements or polite reminders from my heart – Conductors.. best part is they don’t even crib and coolly get down in the next stop and walk back… I remember that one PWH always gets in time very systematically and finds his favourite seat and busy with his noise but always his pant zip open…

 

There is another regular PWH, who always sits in the opposite direction of my travel for whatever the reason…because it does not matter to her as she doesn’t know her world around..!!

 

And coming to PNH, I adore them.. because they are lively,, they love to hear what PWH talking to their boyfriends or to their spouses about the possible gifts  and dinners .. Occasionally they smile at my Heart and Soul.. They also indulge in entertaining kids, if they find some.. Most important thing is, they are very curious people – especially if there is an accident.. They will dissect, bisect and debate about the accident’s ramifications. Some of them also sympathise with me, if there is a problem with my AC, or brakes…

 

All these fun and frolic is being missed these days.. Very boring journey, no traffic and no honking etc… I hope to get back my regular PWH and PNH soon… Without them, I am feeling restless and unhappy..
