the ride had it all!!

Peeeeeeep!!!
Everyone turned in that direction. I craned my neck to see wot it was. As it came nearer , the yellow board came into view..the number was still hazy. It was full..half a dozen people,boys n gals alike, were hanging by the door. There was a fat chance dat it was 203! It was the only direct bus to our college and der was as much competition to it as it wud be for a medical seat!! The sight of 203 wud bring a 1000 watt smile even on the most exhausted of faces!
It was tugging along..bent to a side becoz of that extra offer.
Nearly twenty people moved...anticipating the spot wer it wud cum to a halt,each one trying to be the first to get into it.
everybody was ready...ready to pounce onto the bus...
It was coming faster...
Instead of slowing down ,it went past us.it dint stop!!!!
"ooooyeeeee!!!! " everybody shouted in chorus...
i cursed the driver..i cursed myself..i cursed the people who wer already in the bus..going away happily....
Happily?? Hmm....lets see..
travelling in 203 is altogether a differnt experience!!
"AAAaaarrggghhh!!!! " I screamed..the gal simply stared at me..looked down..removed her pointed heel from my foot,oblivious to my pain and then looked away,..
huh..no sorry..no apology..no regret on her face!!
bloody hell....
I scowled at her...she dint care..
hmm..i resigned to my fate.
"Ooooooh!!" another gal dug her elbow into me...
"sorry ..sorry "
i smiled at her..."it happens"...
"Screeeech!!!" the bus came to a sudden halt! I fell on the former gal! she looked back angrily...i jus stared..my heart smiled...rejoiced dat i had taken my revenge!
I heard the conductor shout.A large bulky figure ...khadoos fello..
Here we wer..fighting for space..struggling to find feet...and there he was..pushing himself ..carrying his pot-belly to and fro...causing much annoyance to d passengers.
A bunch of vilagers had boarded the bus..munching paan..
the smell was nauseating..yuck!!
my nose had had enuf...perspiring armpits...stinking mouths..oily hair..ooooh....it needed fresh air!
i tried to look out frm the window...it was nt clear..i had to see from the gaps between numerous heads. i saw ppl..zooming on bikes..no tension..all happies..
my heart ached...
then there it was!! MVSR engg college..
wen i finally stumbled out of the bus..i was glad to find myself in one piece!!
thk god..its finally over!!!
but then..wen i look back...i find the fresh air soo soothing. If it was not for 203, i wud'nt have enjoyed the air around me!!!
right??
