The Bus Family :)

The bus family is the community of disconnected people who travel by bus but they look at each other and recognize the familiar semi-jog or run when the bus approaches, the gymnastic/athletic battle to stay upright while looking rustling purses for coins while the sheer momentum of the bus swings one forward and backwards.....
But that is not all. It is the sheer 'naiceness' that members of the bus community extend on clear, unwritten rules upoun each other. Situation A: Person walks in. If lady old with white hair, weight problem, crooks hers knees; then it means she suffers from oesteroprosis - knee and leg problems - that every Pakistani khatoon undergoes! Result = Young girl with no white hair, or weight problem evacuates seat and tells old lady "Aap yahan beth jain". and the old lady takes the seat with a "betay jeetay raho".
Situation B: Person walks in. Any age group or condition or social symbol. Has a smaller or more than one smaller persons attatched to her bodily self. Somebody will evactuate and let her have a seat. Thankyous will ensue, children will continue to wriggle and scream but everyone smiles. In cases of the child is between 3 to 6, he/she can even be offered the many laps of the sitting ladies so that everyone can ride happily. See, how simple the system is.
and that is what I like about the Bus family. Students, secretaries, little kids, housewives, model towners, gulberg waley, defence ki massiyan, sunglasses perched on head, newspapers and romance novels in hands, some burqa clad, some with shopping bags aboard, laughing, sweating, sniffing, balancing - thats the bus family ride....
...this lady stepped on from some shopping area and had a huge 1000 rupee note. The conductors is like we cant break that for you. She looks around worriedly; where does she produce 12 ruppees? Everyone (me included) started fishing out coins for her fare!....

ps: Did anyone know that the most bareeze you see on the streets belongs to the defence massiyan! I get so jealous - yaar hamein tau bareeze naseeb nahin hoti...hum tau prices dekh ke hee izzat le ker bahar ajatay hain!
