Essay On A JOURNEY BY BUS

Introduction

It was a fine day. I decided to spend the evening at Connaught Place. I got ten rupees from my father. I left my house at 6 p.m. to catch the bus for Odeon.

An incident inside the bus

I stood in queue and waited anxioulsy for my turn in vain. I joined those who were struggling on the door of the bus. With a great difficulty I also got my chance to get into the bus. I got a seat. Hardly had I sat on my seat when I saw a very old man. He was standing near me. He looked very sad. I looked at him. I got up out of respect. I offered my seat to him. But to my great surprise, a fashionable young lady rushed towards the seat. She pressed herself into the seat. The poor old man looked at her helplessly. He had to keep standing. The lady felt no shame. She kept on looking at the poor old man shamelessly. I felt very angry at her behaviour.

Passengers in the bus

The passengers inside the bus were talking loudly. Some were talking about politics. Some were talking of soaring prices. Others were discussing their personal problems. The family quarrels were the subjects of their talk. I was looking outside thinking about the sad incident.

Scene at the next bus stop

The journey was not long. It was quite short. By now our bus reached Pant Hospital. Here many people got down. Many others boarded the bus. As usual the bus moved on. An old lady began to feel giddy. She requested a young man to provide her his seat. The proud young man refused flatly. This was very bad. We should show respect to ladies. Young ladies also should offer their seats to old and sick persons.

Conductor’s dishonesty

At the Ajmeri gate three passengers got down. They paid the fare. The conductor did not issue tickets to them. I got a chance. I said to the conductor, “Mr. conductor, you did not issue tickets to the passengers. You are dishonest.” With these words I pulled the chain. The bus stopped. I asked the conductor to tear the three tickets. The conductor was perplexed. Some other passengers called him a thief. I rebuked. him. The dishonest conductor felt ashamed for his dishonest act. He tore three tickets and threw them out. Again the bus started.

The destination

The bus was now running in New Delhi. My destination was quite near. At Minto Road the driver applied the brakes suddenly. He saved a cyclist. All the passengers got a jolt. My head struck against a lady’s. She cursed me. I kept silent. I got down at Odeon.
