Everyday my journey to office requires me to take all possible land public transport available in Mumbai except for taxi. My journey starts from my residence to bus stop by 11 no bus, accompanied by a pal of mine we catch 286 or 244 no bus to Kandivli train station, than comes the most difficult the most exciting and the most risky part, jumping into the first class compartment of running 7:47 am 12 coach Borivili local from Kandivli before the train halts, in order to catch the havaaa walaaa window seat. When the train makes its way towards Churchgate from Borivli at 8:03 am this havaa walla seat helps me take a short 35 minutes nap from Borivli to Bandra. Getting down at Bandra railway station I take a rickshaw to Turner Road.
As usual I took the 11 no bus from my residence to the bus stop, my pal accompanied me when we caught the overcrowded 244 BEST bus. We made our way to the front portion of the bus so that we could manage to get down from the bus as early as possible once station arrives. Babblyaa (pet name for Bus Conductor) came to us we took our tickets. The moment we took our tickets babblyaa started blabbering at my friend asking him to move ahead, my pal responded saying there was no place to move forward, this blabber advanced into a verbal arguments, and than babblyaa did something that compelled me to react. He pushed my friend forward and threatened to beat him up, I lost my temper when he did this. Now with me involved in argument babblyaa cooled down and this small verbal conflict ended with cold looks between three of us.
These verbal arguments is nothing new for Mumbaikars we witness this everyday every moment in trains, buses on the road etc. But me involved in such a thing was new, and it took me by surprise.
