Sick of this world

Hatred, selfishness, poverty, modernisation blah blah are getting on my nerves and I wish it would all fade away. Metallica's song Sad But True comes to the mind.

Dry Weekend !!! *sarcastic*

I wrote the whole episode and kaboom, my connection screwed up. I was left with no material published. Anyway let me attempt to write back about things that happened two weeks back.

I was going home. It was raining. I was so involved with teh AOM that I totally forgot I had to leave for home *parent's place*. Luckily, wiseness prevailed and I packed things. I searched for my new sweater. I coudln't find my sweater. I took out my old green sweater. BTW, I got 3 sweaters. :P. This green sweater is very loose. I mean the texture is very diferent n just don tlike it. I wear it when there aint any alternative or when its raining. That morning I was searching for my spectacles. I coudln't find it and had to wear my new jazzy ones. But, I got my old set before i left.

I reached the bus stand. The bus stand was relatively dry. Before I could contemplate the bus to take, I heard a conductor shouting my place's name. He also was shouting that the bus is leaving immediately. I foronce thought, let me tajke the first bus to my place. I dont care about luxury in transport. I am anyway goign t o sleep all day the next day :P.
I got in to the bus and took my seat in the third row. It was a two seater. Statuatory warning for this bus is that "Beware!! you are about to enter the world of two clowns." Who might be the two clowns? Who else than the two messiahs for the passengers in this rain, the driver and the conductor.
The conductor was getting his herd in place i.e people in the bus. He got all wet in the rain. The bus slowly made its way out of the bus stand. Our clown 1 i.e the conductor now was hungry already. He wanted to have his dinner. One passenger suggested a hotel just before Tumkur. So, the bus stopped and the two clown along with 3 passengers made their way in to the hotel. An hour passed and there was no sign of the two clowns. Nor did any of the passengers who had gone to have dinner were seen. After a while, the driver came and started the bus. He was roaring with laughter. Then , the conductor was seen hurling abuses at the attender who helped park the bus. Both the two clowns were asked to pay for thier dinner. While the normal norm is that the hotel gives them free food and a token amount for having stopped at the particular hotel. Here, leave the token amount, the two clowns had to shell out money from their own pockets. Clown 2*driver* was too ecstatic with the turn of events. He was mocking at Clown 1. Both of them were discussing through out the journy. Clown 2 was driving the bus slowly. Probably the rain too prevented him to drive fast. But, this guy was too busy mocking at the conductor.
At around 2 am, clown 2 suddenly got a desire to have tea. Another half an hour to drink tea. Meanwhile clown 1 is taking his frustration out and getting consoled by this hotel owner. After half an hour, clown 2 suddenly remmebered that he had to fill air. There was a small shop near the hotel. There was no sign of the attender. After frantic shouting, two guys woke up from the sleep and made an entry with keys. They put fuel in to the machine and started. There was pressure drop. The two attenders now started fixing the machine. Both the clowns also joined them. Clown 2 , the driver was fixing the machine with enthusiasm. After 15 mins, the machine was fixed. Another 10 mins to fill air and we were off. I finally reached by 7 30 am. A good 2 hours late thanks to the two clowns. The passengers were more amused than angry at thier antics. Beware of the clowns but they sure are entertainers.
I slept most of the morning. When i got up, I coudl see anotehr set of birds building the nest. Another set of birds , anoterh set of eggs and anyone with an inclination towards filing these birds get in touch with me. The whole of Sat n Sun was wet with rain pouring without any halts. I was dry as a duck in water. :)
