Ok... one more day's journey in the bus with the
"half-back-rest" wale seats done. Of course there is no point in complaining about the
"pain in the neck" that this travel has become. So I've decided to list out the positives - you know, seeing the half-full part of the back-rest rather than the head-rest part that's missing.
* I get to stay awake and see the
beauty that's Bangalore for at least half the journey.
* The other half of the journey of course shows the
prosperity in the city. The number of cars and 2-wheelers snaking through the rather wide main roads that still falls short of the city's requirements.
* I can really appreciate and admire the
driver's talent to drive the Swaraj Mazda as if it were a 2-wheeler, swinging it left and right as he finds his way through the maze... all this without a near-accident. (The accidents are avoided coz of a lot of sudden brakes of course!) He deserves a medal for this.
* The back-ache inducing jerks that force me to exercise everyday... This journey is in fact helping me
stay fit! ;)
It is a fruitful journey indeed!
