came home in a SETWIN bus today. SETWIN stands for Society for Employment Promotion & Training in Twin Cities, so is exclusive for Hyderabad n sec'bad only. once long ago a friend told me that getting into a SETWIN bus takes you directly up! but that was back when they had rickety scary looking buses. now they have all new buses so i decided to take a chance and got into the already packed bus. now this isn't the normal APSRTC big bus, its a small one and people were packed! jammmmmm packed. every time some one has to disembark few more have to get down to make place and then get on again. people pushed against each other, with hardly any place to firmly anchor the feet, nor anything to hold on to to keep standing as the bus buzzes off...
what really made todays journey interesting was the bus conductor. he was full of lively chatter keepin a smile on everyone's lips and making the journey less uncomfy. at every stop he would shout out for more people to get on, inviting more people when you would wonder where they would fit in. then of course were the passengers. today i found an exceptionally large number of people who were ready to exchange smiles. was that because of the happy atmosphere in spite of the heat and the strain??
