My Blueberry Morning
Sometimes even a defamed place looks beautiful, the infamous roads under few working street lamps looks like the site for shooting some Hollywood movie. You have to be very lucky to see all this and then you need to wake up very early on a rainy Saturday morning, yes the same morning that comes after a Friday night. You will have to catch a ride, you will have to take the only public convenience available in our infamous city with your body's half portion dangling from the three-wheeled-ship. I am calling it a ship coz it gives you the feel as if you are sitting in a ship. You can thank government for not provide proper funding for a useless thing like roads or skills of driver or any xyz reason which you prefer, the point is you are by now enjoying the swaying cold wind hitting your swaying face along with the water drops and then suddenly a guy returning from his late night Friday party passes dangling you in his priceless car .. and making u realize that you need to take bath twice on such a beautiful day...as he did two things one is he cleaned the unwanted rain water from the street and he gave u the convenience of having a bath twice without much of your effort.
Consider a chance that you have to board a train to home on such a wonderful day, yes you will be visiting the railway station of your not so famous city. So you took a boring metro till a bus stand from where you will get a bus till railway station.You have just let a bus pass through as you were counting on your chief minister's announcement last week that bus frequency will be increased at odd hours and secondly you dont want to run to catch a bus...10 minutes have passed but not a single bus have crossed you.You are losing hope on your CM's announcement but than you see a green DTC bus coming, you pat your CM's back and then 9 DTC busses pass through you one by one carrying green uniform kids, doing the school duty.You are now blaming your memory skills, may be CM was talking about the School bus frequency , how lame. you hire a taxi till station.
India has one of the huge railway network and you can always hope that in such a beautiful weather they will surely elevate your mood. You have finally reached railway station at around 7:15 and plan to catch a 8:40 train. But this lady announces that some train which should have passed an hour ago will be arriving soon and that sweet lady is so innocent that she is apologizing for the in convinience which she never caused... at the starting i told you, you have to be really lucky..so here you are..you dont have to wait till 8:40..u enter into the compartment which is not so crowded as you can stand on both of your legs and you are straight..here when u can get a place to stand ..the train is not said to be crowded...you start feeling sad now tht soon the fun wud end , u hav experienced such a wonderful saturday morning..but then u hear a Cluck, cluck, cluck...consider ur neighbour carrying a chicken in train .
