I wanted,this August,to be more productive in terms of blog count. But as the month is nearing its end I do not think it would be possible.So this is one of my desperate attempt to increase this month's count by 1,at least.It is mainly about my ' experience(s) ' yesterday,when I got to travel by bus after a very long time. I had to go to a special school as part of research job for my project so I started late,Broda was in hurry thus he rode off with bike. I went to the school thinking that,that school is for children with Learning Disbility.Till the time I had met the principal there I had no idea what is the difference betweent a learning disabled kid and a intellectually disabled kid.That school was for intellectually disabled children. The nearest school I enquired where I could find learning disabled children,was no less than 15 kms away.I had no bike to travel and there was no straight bus to the place,I did not have any idea of location of school in that area either.Had I gone there by bus I would have definitely missed my meeting with project mentor.I decided not to go to the school and better meet project mentor.I had to change 2 buses to reach college,the journey was not that annoying but the fact that I had to walk to catch buses was troubling sometimes.I reached college and told my mentor about the 'research' I did . She didn't say anything but did ask me to find a suitable topic for my project. I had already thought of it, "S.P.I.M.E." , I said.The topic sound good,she asked to check if this name is not used by some other software. Later in the day I found a company that had the same name "Spime" . Ma'am asked to change the name and give the same name which I had proposed earlier "I.T.S.".That was all about interaction.
I had to do a important task which would not have been possible had I been to home early.So I decided to strech my stay in college.I started later than usual from the college at around 8 pm.Reaching Delhi was a cakewalk,but last 4-5 kilometers of journey were awful.I was standing at the bus stop,I didn't mind that beacuse completion of the task was still possible,as long as I was away from home.There was a couple troubled by waiting for the bus for long time,some that came didn't 'stop' , rather the lady was too fat/old to run and catch the bus.Ultimately they decided to hire an autorickshaw. Many people ran to catch buses that had slowed down beacuse of traffic but seeing the crowd chasing to catch the bus,driver maneuvered through traffic with very high speed.Life-on-toe was the scene where a little mistake by a person would have definitely resulted in an accident.Waiting had started to trouble me now,so I gave a call to bro and asked him to come and pick me up.Sometimes later a bus arrived and I decided to catch it,I found a seat too.The space was too small for the fanny.I managed though,I had to.Getting down was far more toubling than adjusting 'big over small' .I missed my stop and I had to walk back,"blessing in disguise,it could be" was the thought. I was sauntering and picked up the longest route possible to increase the travelling time.....beacuse the task was still possible!! but it didn't happen :( and I reached my place.
Traveling by bus was o.k.
