The Conductor and the Passenger

 


Today, I am about to share with you my experience on the bus on my way home. So this bus is always crowded since there are only two  of them for my area. And they too, are, minibuses. If you leave one, you will have to wait for at least an hour or more for the next bus to come. Therefore, most of the people on the bus would be standing and the rest, on foot boarding. I am new to the area. I had shifted there only a few months ago. So in the beginning, I thought only I was facing this problem. But later, I realized that there were people who were facing this problem on a daily basis.

Now, talking about today's experience,there was a passenger who got ticket for one stopping but was planning to get down on the next. The conductor caught him and asked him to either get ticket for the next stopping or get down on the one he bought ticket for, and he was willing to do neither. The conductor asked for the bus to be put on hold, and the bus stood on that particular stop for quite some time.

Many of the passengers inside requested and even scolded the passenger to do the needful,  but he didn't budge. Some even joked that maybe both the conductor and the passenger should get down, solve their issue and get back on the following bus😄. The conductor, after some time, whistled the bus to get moving.

Wait, wait, wait! It isn't over yet. Only a few feet covered, two policemen were standing. The bus stopped, the conductor told what happened and the police caught the passenger by his collar and led him away. Interestingly, all the previous days, no police was seen in the spot. I don't know how everything fell into place this particular day. The passenger, who was flexing his ego in front of the conductor so long, bowed down before the police and went quiet.


Moral of the story is, do not wait for the time to be caught. Because when you are caught, it is too embarrassing. Thank you for reading this blog and if you have any other suggestions, let me know in the comments😊.

My Gap Year

 Hello people! Welcome to my blog. This is my first post and my hearty thanks to all you people for supporting it by visiting it. I am a first year under-graduate student of the course B.A. English Language and Literature. Today, I would like to share with you my journey towards choosing this course and how I have perceived it so far. To start with, I heard about this course for the very first time when I was in my eighth grade. It was suggested by my father at a time when I was on a spree of writing stories. Thise were neither short stories nor essays or poetry. Those fit in a category which is yet to be founded. I had then had a notion that I would go on to make those of my stories into films in the distant future, although now I laugh at myself for having such crazy ideas with those kind of stories. It was at that point of time when my dad suggested that I take up English Literature for my UG and then pursue Film Studies for my PG, reasoning that such a path could help me shape myse

Dad's Chicken Gravy

 Hello friends! Today I am going to share with you about my dinner experience and how it led me to do some things which were unusual of me. To start with, I was going home from college and I was terribly famished. As I went closer and closer to my house, I was thinking only about having anything to chew in my mouth. But unfortunately, I had no other choice other than the curd rice my mother had made in the morning. The side dish was lady's finger roast, which, too, I knew would have gotten over by the time I got home. So, it's just curd rice and nothing else to have for a side-dish. Now I do like curd rice, but having it without anything for a side dish makes me a bit unhappy. But just when I got home, I came to know that my dad had made chicken gravy for dinner. I was not a big fan of his chicken gravy till then, but this particular day, I don't know what got into me. I was hell-bound to have it. Coincidentally,  while having lunch with my friends, one of them mentioned ab

My ICA Enlightenment

 Hi people! Today, during my Allied Paper class, there were presentations being done by the candidates for their Internal Continuous Assessment (ICA) II. I too am assigned to the same professor to make my presentation, and I was really confused on how I was going to make my presentation. I had chosen Novel, to present for my CA II. I was confused whether I had to tell the summary of the novel, or do something else. Also, I have this very bad habit of unnecessarily complicating things instead of presenting them short and sweet. But today, I would say that it was an eye-opening session, since I saw my classmates do their seminars and some of them inspired me to a great extent. Previously, I had this notion of presenting either complicated concepts, or presenting simple ideas in complicated ways to make them appear valid. But today, I realized that that is not required. A simple and clear presentation would ensure a fine output. My classmates' presentation not only inspired me on how
