Big B! A "Bus"Y Experience

Bitten by recession, looted by Banks and smitten by the "Go Green" initiative at work and one broken spine later, I decided that public transport was the best way to commute. So there I was waiting for my bus.. at the Bus Stand ofcourse(always wondered why they called it a stand) .. It was hot and I was sweating.. Just as I was dreading the wait for that ever so elusive 10H, a bus turned at the far end of the road.. A renewed hope filled me from within, my heart was racing, a rush of adrenalin and then, as it all settled down relief replaced anxiety.. It was a 10H after all..



I can't wait for the bus to stop.. It is too risky.. Will I be able to get in before everyone else?? Will I get a seat?? I don't want to stand all the way to HiTech City.. No it is too painfull!! As these thoughts raced through my mind, instinct took over.. Mind gave into body, A frantic chase followed, a push, an elbow to the face.. a punch in the stomach and I was in.. Whoa!! I made it.. I was in before any one else.. I had the whole range of seats to choose from.. I quickly pounced on the one closest to me.. It was right at the back.. I took my phone out and I was very excited about my recent achievement.. So I decided I will text Mary(My Girlfriend)..



Just when I sent the text message and carefully returned my phone back into my pocket, a shadow fell over me eclipsing the sun that was shinning directly into my eyes.. A tall figure stood beside me, hands stretched out, pointing towards the vacant place beside me.. Ordering me to move in so he could rest his mighty a** down on the seat next to me.. I went from elation to disappointment in a few seconds... Just when I was beggining to think - "Alright! Bus ride! Not so bad!", the monster(let's call him Big Butt urf Big B) shattered my dreams of a comfortable ride to work...



So I willed myself into moving aside so Big B could squeze in and rest his *** in peace... But I wasn't going to give up just yet.. I decided I will not let his Big B push me aside and confine my B to a small, tiny little place just enough to keep a Coffee mug.. By God!! No!! Being the not so Big B, I mustered all the courage I had, made my self big and occupied one half of the seat, leaving exactly the other half for him..



And then.. Big B cam down on the seat like an avalanche... His B got stuck in between my hip on the one side and the wall of the bus on the other.. He tried twitching and squeezing in.. it didn't work, he tried butting me aside.. it didn't work.. I was holding on like valiant soldier on the front.. I wasn't going to move.. Not yet.. He made a pleading face.. and looked down at the place where is B was stuck..



And then.. being the nice guy that I am, I moved over to edge of the seat.. Thud!! His B fell on the seat.. I almost turned on my head.. The Small "me" B was now left with a really small piece of seat... Recession had hit me all over again.. this time it cost me my share of the seat.. Huh!!



I told myself- Nevermind kid!! We will get bigger.. We will get revenge and Thy shall not let Big Bs push me aside..



Signing off trying to find ways to get bigger!!



Adios!
