I have completed my office work and on the way to home. I caught my bus from the near by bus stop. I took the last row in the bus and sat at the center seat.
In the next stop, an old man wearing a white dhoti and shirt with a red bag on his shoulders and old slippers on the foot inquired the bus conductor, whether it will go to PTC?
Yes, the conductor said.
The bus started from the stop and the old man also sat on one of the empty seat.
Again he inquired what is the charge for bus? It's nine rupees.
He was in bit disgust and took two twenty rupee notes. He counted it for 2 times.
He is very sad that he was spending the more on the bus, which I read from his space. Finally he gave one twenty rupee note to the conductor. The conductor gave him back the ticket with a change. He murmured and few curses about his fortune and stating through the window of the bus.
I have witnessed all the emotions sitting at the back seat in the bus. I thought like, whether he earned only that two twenty rupee notes for the day(forty rupees) and spent on the bus. How could he eat for the day with the remaining money?
In the mean time, my gaze fell on the near by, where the guy, around his late 20's, with a bluetooth head set over his head, a branded messenger bag on his side and puma shoes on the foot rolling his head to the music. He had put the mobile phone so close to his face and watching the video song.
He took out two hundred rupees note from the pocket and asked to give a ticket to the PTC.
Conductor asked for a change.
He took the head set from one of the ear and asked again.
CHANGE??
He put back the headset and nodded the head from side to side.
The conductor murmured about the big notes & also about the guy who boarded without a change.
He charged more than his stop and returned the ticket and change.
The bus reached the bus stop and both were stepped out from the bus. They crossed over each other and started to walk in the opposite directions.
