Oh Delhi.....y thou changed???












Ahh...i donno y i write everything so late....this is my first blog on the changing face of delhi..
I took this bus....No.525....nd wow...what a brilliant bus it was....
A trip that takes no longer than 10 mins 4m badarpur border to majidia hospital.......took me 50 mins....isnt this brilliant
Ignition on.......bus is ready to go....but it wont.......bcoz there r very few passengers (including me)...
Now it starts getting filled.....everyone has a seat now.......wait.....it wont start yet
Now there r few people standing comfortably too....i mean without seats.....yet....it doesnt starts....
The bus now starts moving....somehow......no...none of the passengers have left........it starts becoz now.....
IT IS CRAMPED!!
Oh man this whole process swallows u.....u r fixed.....no other option to take the road....nd d bus wont move at ur wish..
And to add to this irritation u get people 4m all sorts of ages.....yelling school kids......strange aunties(no word)......bidi smoking tau (village oldies)...
boys speaking a brilliantly vulgar language with a brilliantly hoarse voice (nd trying to get gals attention(s)....and not-at-all smart gals who actually think they are..
It seems as if a whole town has been accumulated in a single room....nd even though u r quite.......they still want u to be quite..
Plus u get no air within....no wind ruffling ur hair but a tau's bidi to smell....nd if ur unfortunate to stand in between such a fully loaded box office....then one thing u should be warned of....
INDIANS DONT USE DEODRANTS MUCH (happy to bath.....only)
So keeping my phone nd ear phones for company (lucky to have seat).....i plugged music into my ears...nd this way i could cut off...at peace at least.
The bus did move....at a pace where even walking i could reach faster....all it wanted was more passengers....nd more
Finally when i got down.....i could breathe....nd quickly took this photograph of this bus....the creepy crawler
But theres one thing that was positive....the DRIVER was actually quite soft spoken....nd helpful too
He spoke so nicely nd when i asked him where was i to get off....he was driving yet he kept explaining me everything....which bus stand....which side i have to go...everything
It was quite surprising for me......THANX MAN.
It was surprising bcoz mY experience in these blue line buses has been quite frustrating....drivers are very rude so are the conductors...they usually dont give change easily nd when u ask 'em to give the remaining change(at the end of the trip) .....two conductors nd a driver start screaming at u as if u have pissed over 'em.
Nd dont ever try to argue too.......ok try....but try only.....u ll get ur ass kicked (though Verbally) for free**.....
(**Conditions apply)
Leaving this BUS-sy stuff.......i did my work for what i made this trip for....nd came out...
Since my bus was a bit late....i got time to capture a few faces of delhi....as i always do..
A man pissing....nd look at the signboard there.....INDIAN JUSTICE PARTY.....the wall wants justice.....give it u damn party
ANd crowd nd crowd at a single place....buzzing.....school children,college students,crying babies,yelling ladies,frowning uncles,suspicious girls(with stupid sunglasses),aashiqs.awaaraas,autos,buses,cars,trucks....i wonder if whole INDIA has taken over delhi.
Come on....so much crowd??....from where did they came???....how???.....people people people..
So these r a few pics...with a hope to see delhi like it was...
Delhi doesnt rests.....but its no more the same DELHI i enjoyed....that delhi was peaceful....trees all around...this one is full of humans only
A changed delhi i saw.....a completely different delhi.......a delhi sans peace....its a piece now.
Not a single instance i had when there was no head tearing noise.....except for this beautiful DTC low floor bus.....it was peaceful nd perfect
The bus is awesome....gives a feel of another world....i stood in the middle nd kept looking outside to the sun.....(i wish somebody took my pic there) nd at last i felt at ease...
good work Mrs Dikshit....the bus isnt noisy at all....plus copoerative conductor nd driver....
Itwas a much needed break 4m blueline.....i hope every single bus is replaced by these new green buses..so 2 pics of the view of the bus nd from it(din take much pix as ppl start suspecting me)
So Delhi...its not easy for me to be out there nd enjoy u.....lemme do that again someday....plz
