Bus series no. 330

The greatest advantage of bus travel is that it shakes the least - so that means u can write steadier and read too with less strain. Also if the bus's crammed, the urgency and desperation around creates a transcending moment about the 8th minute in, if you wait for it. Admittedly, this also comes from deceptive economies; u have the option of the rick but ur using the bus and this transcendence could be from the knowledge of savings. I'm not doing manual labour and i dont have no other option. I'm also relieved that so far havent attracted a charitable 'can I drop you somewhere?' in the airport rd bustop(will get the xact name nbext time) from their nifty 2w/4w chariots. Like 'can I save penurious u from the horror of bus, how relieved and thakful u should be u scruffy stinky hobo'. Nono. Shivaginagar rules! The opportunities to gawk, to wantonly brush past ppl of all kinds, buy kaddala (fiery red my fave), look out the window at the stupidity of losers slapping up on the shiny tarmac with chappals for the bus theyll never get. then running after another bus urelf cos the one appointed in beens cancelled. I tell u - a false paradise of action. paradise nonetheless.

Also taken to watching bus drivers from close up. Most of them are sublime cool, but saw a lechy kind yesterday. looking up the girl ahead of me and then scratched his stomach at a signal. hey so what - lech all u want. Just not true bangalore man is all, babe.
