My good old bus..

Everyday blogging seems to have become a habit now. :)

Been in this thing, for five days straight. Guess will take a break over the weekend..

Currently: sitting with a cup of lemon tea, and typing, while wondering what this post should be all about.

Today being a Friday, there is no one! in my supposedly big team! I am sitting here, like a loser, waiting for the 6 'o clock bus!!! Yea... just another disadvantage of staying in CORE bangalore :)

The joy of travelling in a bus, is altogether different. And, if its in the multicolored flower's company bus(will call it MF from now on) , the joy is doubled..

Where in the world can you find such amazing means of transport.. ?
With red blue green and pink (Yes!Pink!) coloured lights to light up the bus... its diwali everyday! :) You think the sparks of Diwali are missing?? Naah... you can find that too :) There's a spark.. every time the driver, brings together two wires... to start the bus.. :)
To top this, there is always the dink chik dink chik music (believe me! you would have never heard such songs!) to give you the DJ night feel. My driver's favorite music is "Commando Commando Comm...aa...n..do"!

We, the employees, of the MF company, dont need any kind of exercise too..! The bus is equipped with hi-fi seats which ensure, that there are no traces of fat left in the body.. How? Simple... the seats in the bus, have very strong legs.. that keep oscillating left and right, each time the bus turns..
So.. the bus takes a left... the seats go to the right, and we go to the left..! (Get the point??)
And did I tell you... we donot believe in something called cushions on the seats :P

And do you know the "bestest" part??
We have mosquito repellents in our buses. The driver sprays this.. before starting the engine. The only thing I always remember after this is, I reach home, bruised with mosquito bites. Guess, there's only one thing that gets nauseated, with the chemical... ME! :(

All the above was true, until six months back. Now, the story is completely different. The colored lights are replaced with tubelights, and the seats dont move all by themselves.No dink chik music..
Well.. this post is dedicated, to the good old buses which I kinda miss these days.. miss the "HaLLi bus"( Translation:village bus) feeling :P

Talking of HaLLi bus, got reminded of some old movies, which start with an old bus, finding its way on a muddy road, and suddenly comes to a stop, bringing to life, a brown halo of dust around it. Then, from the dust, emerges the heroine.. of the movie..
Well... now get a picture of how my bus used to look like!? :)

Happy weekend :)
