Bus to Work

I thought of coming to work by bus today and did so. It’s the first time I tried to come by bus to EGL location from my new house. I was hesitant to come by bus all these days thinking it will be difficult, but it was not as I thought. Whenever I was passing through the bus stand I was feeling guilty of not using it and today somehow I thought of coming over it and it worked. For sure it’s cheaper than coming by car. All it asked for is a little bit more discipline and timing. Only negative thing was being scared of pick pocket and mobile theft throughout the journey. It gave me a good time to think and relax. Lot of observation was possible which one can’t do while driving himself. Building looked new and was able to observe things in details. Route was different so came to know some new roads. And the scene inside bus was also pretty happening. People going to work, students going to college, pretty old people don’t know where they were going. For some it’s a usual route so they were either off to sleep or had a face with no feeling. Some were asking addresses and looking out of the window just to make sure they don’t skip there station. People who were dozing were pretty fun to watch they were falling off in all the directions. Bus driver was totally not in to what is happening inside the bus and was driving the bus like a robot with no feelings. All his worry was to reach the station safely, which is what really needed. He looked as if he did this daily from past so many years and might do for some more years to come. I was thinking how we crib about routine work and felt that I am playing unfair. I got down in my stop. Bus moved on ….. Life moves on….
