TRAVELLING IN THE BUS

What is the first thing we think of travelling in bus??

For me life was a bliss and merriment was as usual as breathing, I used to board bus at the stop and deboard at the university.Good old days of ease and comfort.The almost two hours of my university bus travel along with my friends used to be one of the best moments ever.They say time never remains the same, least did i knew that fate will take an ugly~ turn and i would have to travel local buses.I now have the nightmares of boarding the local buses.

I remember the good old times when women were respected and when people used to spare a seat for them but now the men folk even the teenagers are least bothered of a woman standing in the bus may she be having loads,with children or even elderly.Recently i was in the bus and an elderly women boarded and i felt she needed a seat to ease her pain and fatigue she faced all along walking, there were guys and men who had theirs eyes sealed up and ears with headphones listening to the satanic verses of hip hops and jazz.They were as engrossed as they might have thoughts of their beautiful ladies and the ways of their shades and seesaw hair styles.I later could not resist her standing their waiting for an angelic man to come up and give her the most deserved thing : the seat.I stood up and made her to sit.She later showered me with her blessings and said " Girls have courtesy"! though i don't fully agree.Their are guys too but nowadays life here in Kashmir has taken an irritating turn.Gone are the days of the honesty,courtesy, modesty and faith, nowadays people are all engrossed with the worldly things of money,ease,corruption,fashion and immodesty.People gaze girls travelling in bus,tease and even pass comments.

What is kashmir turning into...Wah Wah state of India.Where people though claim they are muslims but dont even follow a single principle of it.

Their is no wonder when 21st century Kashmir will have "50% off on honestly, 20 % discount in faith". 

Here no matter what, people don't think of death even for a second but only think of "SHOW OFF".

Even while travelling in bus,conductors charge extra and sometimes don't even return the said amount.Sometimes i feel its like animals are put in buses to get slaughtered.Even a single nudge

from a person takes the breath away.Half of the hell is faced while travelling a bus.Sometimes the conductor argues and sometimes a bad person gets abused.The only person who enjoys the ride is the driver,the rest are victims of the fate.The worst thing happens when the brakes gets applied and all of of sudden your life gets bolted and you are shattered from your safe spot to an unknown spot of being laughed and scrutinized.The torture doesnt end, if you are wearing a weak chapel or not clipped your dress properly then the travel turns out the worst decision.

I want sometimes that some safety tools and kits be provided to the persons travelling in bus, for its not bus its hell.The bus travel here in Kashmir is having an extra facility, the frequent stopping and less travelling.I feel like bus stops more than it travels,it takes my patience so much that all i want is to beat up the driver to pulp.Why do they stop for more than required at one stop.The one hour travel takes 3 hours and still the torture goes on, you board the bus and all your clothes and yourself gets churned up, you are nudged by women to make a side for them,beaten up to corner at the 1 cm space so that extra 500 can make space in the mini bus and then no one helps you out find a seat,you are extra charged, and tortured with the extra time taken in the travel.

AND THE TORTURE GOES ON AND ON....
