A Journey by Bus
Introduction : On 15th May I had a programme to go to Kanpur from Aligarh in the marriage of my nephew. As the train was not convenient, I decided to go by bus.
Description :
(i) Booking office-At about 6 a.m. I reached the bus stand, On reaching the bus stand, I found a long queue outside the booking-office. At that time I saw that the entire compound was crowded with passengers. People were moving this way and that way. There was a big crowd outside the inquiry office. When my bus came, I purchased a ticket. Then I came towards the bus and occupied a seat near a window.
(ii) Market-The bus started from Aligarh at 7 a.m. First of all it passed through the city very slowly. But after crossing the bridge it began to run very fast. Its speed was about 50 kilometres.
(iii) Natural scene-When the bus left the Hathras Gate, nature presented a very good scene. The sun was shining in the sky. The birds were singing melodiously. The farmers were going towards their fields. The morning was cool and pleasant.
(iv) The bus was late-When we reached Kannauj where the engine of the bus failed to work. So the bus could not start at the right time. The driver and conductor left the bus. They informed the station master who contacted the engineer. The engineer came within fifteen minutes. He was a master of his art. Within ten minutes the engine began to work again. When the bus started, we thanked God for His kindness.
(v) Tired and exhausted-When the bus started from Kannauj I felt tired and exhausted as the journey was long. I had a severe headache. So I decided to sleep for some time. I had no difficulty in sleeping as I was sitting near the window. I knew nothing what happened in the way till the bus reached Kanpur and stopped there.
Conclusion : When the bus stopped, the conductor asked me to get down. When I opened my eyes, I came to know that someone had gone out with my bag while I was sleeping. At that time I could do nothing. So I came out of the bus stand and directly went towards the house of my brother to participate in the marriage of my nephew.
