the day is 10.10.08

Claimer : all things said below are true to my knowledge and memory..
The day began with sangeet shouting in my ears..."wake up dude its 6.40 already". The firts thing which made this day, a day to remember , happened at 7.20 am... we (me,sangeet and avinash) were crossing the main road when i noticed a small crowd standing in the middle of the road blocking the traffic. on giving a second glance i noticed with horrer,two guys dragging a body sans legs.. form underneath the lorry. i could not help but wonder "what a great start to a new day".
Being friday i had to go to chennai that day.since my office is situated at the edge of banglore i usually take a local bus to a place called Athibelle. from ther another local to Hosur, from where i get a bus to Chennai. i reached Athibelle at 2.50pm. After waiting for around 15 mins i finally got in to a bus which was crowded beyond comprehension!!. after a lot of pushing and shoving i managed to find a place where i could just barely squeeze in.At the next stop, thankfully some of the crowd got down and in exchange a 40yrold man(guessing ...) got up with his daughter(may be 11th) and son(7th..?). the man was staggered ( he was drunk like mad) towards where i stood and ater a minute or two squatted on my foot, leaning against my legs and quickly drifted off to sleep. the girl was obviously embaressed. she kept giving pleading glances at me as if telling me " please dont mind". i was, thinking of shouting at the father, but for the girl's sake i did'nt make it in to an issue. now after 2 stops a weird looking fellow got in and came directly to where we stood. he slowly began inching towards the girl. after 2mins he was practically breathing down on her neck. at first i thought he was just an ordinary guy and that he did'nt have anything perverted in his mind, but how wrong i was. just as i was looking at him i was able to see through the crowd his hand reaching for her ass...(talk about men playing with her pride.. first her father now this guy). The girl was close to tears, when i intervened. i stepped back allowing her father to fall down. she immediatly came to support him. now i quickly moved in between the guy and the girl.(note: i am not a movie hero wher i can catch that guy and slap him for his misconduct...but maybe i should have done that, i never know). i began thinking, what should be done to these bastards who can't even let a small girl travel peacefully. The bus had another few minutes to reach Hosur, it is then i started noticing the things which were happening aorund me.!! a lot of people had got down. (meaning, the bus was half empty). ther was a lot of space to stand, but there was this guy who was hell bent on standing next to a seat in which 2 muslim ladies were sitting. he was practically leaning half way into the seat. on the otherside the wierd guy i mentioned above went off to stand next to a college girl.( what is the world turning into.???).
just when i thought the day could'nt get any worse... it did.
the time was 10.08 pm. i had reached chennai terminus and was waiting for a bus which will get me to my house. the bus came promptly in 5 mins and i got in. this bus was empty but for the 7 odd people travelling in it. A man around 45yrs of age, got in at the next stop and started looking around. there were so many empty seats but he chose to sit next to me. immediatly after sitting he launched off in to a monolog about chennai's poor bus timmings and blah,blah,blah... then he asked me whether i was in college..(damn him..) for which i immediatly replied "no..no, i work in a software firm in banlore".then he started commenting on how handsome i look.!!!(what the hell!!). he then put his hands on my shoulder and i could definitly feel him rubbing my shoulder. (the guy was old and i did'nt wannna use any foul languages on him, but trust me, a hell lot of words rushed to my brain that time) smilling sheepishly i pushed his hand away from my shoulder. this time he started patting my thighs and said "u know i have a huge house with two floors and right now only iam stayinmg ther... its kinda lonely..... see anyways its kinda late.. why dont to come over to my place.. u can go to your home first thing in the morning..?? wht say ?" (whaaaat !!..does he take me to be.!!). (note : i was stil trying to push his hand away). neways the good thing was his stop came. he was holding my hand and saying "what a waste we could have had some fun"( i wrestled my hand out of his grip).. saying so he got down. even after getting down he was encouraginly showing "come on.. get down.." (thank god i am straight, that guy gave me the creeps...)... after all these i did manage to reach my home.. but my mind had a thousand questions running haywire in it. will i ever get answers for them .. i never know.!
