Idam tharuvaaya busukkulle??

Now this has become a routine for me to book tickets in ksrtc just a week before travelling to chennai....Idhukku per kozhuppa/thimira/somberithanama/@#$%&%& ah appadinu enna venaalum sollikkalaam. Hassle free train journeye vittutu ippadi indha bus le en ippadi kashtappattu porenu ketkadhee dude/dudettes ille. Hmmmm....adhukellaam proper planning venum, 2 mths munnaadiye book pannanum. With proper planning we can save time and money and also have a comfortable journey (of life) appadingradhukku train eh analogy ah sollalaam.

Last week also I travelled to chennai in bus. Week before that, booked tickets in a ksrtc centre in our locality. But for return, only in normal bus (without push back) are availablenu sonnan, ogaaaaaaaaay oru night dhaane, ladies + windows seat kedacha podhum adjust pannikalaamnu ticket book panniten. Whether it is OS or Bus am very comfortable with windows.

Sunday came, reached CMBT an hr before, was searching for my bus in the usual parking area, but couldnt find it. Volvo luxury buses, push back illaadhe en bus eh push back panniduchonu thedo thedunu thedinen. No luck, asked one driver, he said it should be somewhere here only (adhu enakku theriyadha!!!), ...No one was there at enquiry....Luckily i saw a guy talking to a driver (i heard only bus then something then 10.02), immdly i asked that guy are you looking for 10.02 bus? he said yes, appa, atleast oru company irukku, team effort pottu CTL + F panlaamnu again we asked another driver. He said its on the other side of the terminus itself nu,(pazhaiya vandinu oram kattitaangal pole).... podi nadaiya romba dhooram cmbt eh ula vandhom, atlast terminus ku oru orama ketpaar illaame oru bus perucham pazhathukku podare nelamaile ninnitu irundhudhu pakkathule poyi paatha Bangalore,10.02 nu pottrundhudhu ore aarudhal..Edhukum ulle irukkara driver+conductor kitte confirm pannitu appadaanu en seat 15le utkarndhen. Appo paarthu one guy shud be in his early 30's came to my seat and Gajini surya style le , Hiiiii, I am 16.....sonnaar....naan adhukku Gajini asin style le hi, i am 15 appadi sollalaama ille Going on 17? appadinu ketkalaama (Kajol song I am sixteeeeeeeeeeeeen, going on seventeeeeeeeen) ippadi ellaam thonichu, aana "irundhito po" appadingra madhiri oru look vitten, paavam he would have expected atleast a Hi. I am usually a nonstop sense who just love talking to people, whether i know them or not, i just talk, listen and talk. But this time indha bus um pudikkale and I was cursing the ksrtc guy who booked me this ticket,
just because he told that this is a ladies seat (cum window seat) I have booked the ticket ippo adhulaiyum mann (hindi mann ille tamil mann) nu seri kaduppu.....i was consoling myself that I atleast got a window seat and our gajini was deep into kunkumam reading raahu ketu peyarchi palangal. Appo paathu oru naalanju per namma gajini kitte vandhaanga, adhule oru villain am 17 this is my seatnu sonnaan, namma hero vidale, mele paar board eh paar idhaan 16nu sonnaar, adhukku villian ippudu choodunu adhukku mele chock le ezhudhi irundhadhe kaati idhu 17, 16 illenu sonnan, Aha namma windowkum vandhuduchuda aapunu nenachen. Rendu perum chock ah board ah appadingra thalaipule konja neram argue panni final ah namma driver theerpe magesan theerpu avarkitteye ketkalaamnu mudivu pannaanga......Aha, driver namakku saadhagama theerpu sonna (window seat kudutha) paapaiya, badhagama sonna namakku aappaiyanu avar theerpukkaaga wait pannitu irundhen. Driver naatamaiyum vandhaar, iru tharappu vadha vevaadhangalaiyum kettu, bayangarama yosichu namma hero gajini sonnadhe correctnu solli paapaiya aayitaaru. Appa, seat maaravendaamnu enaku seme sandhosham. Bus also started in a few minutes. Atleast window seat kudutha Paapaiya+kadavulku nandri nu nenakarthukkulle oruthar enge bus eh stop panni erinaaru, Straight ah enge seatku vandhu avarode seat 16nu sonnaaru, aha idhenna vidadhe karuppa irukkenu avar ticket check panna avar bus maathi eritaarunu therinjudhu.........
