SERIOUSLY.........

Bus was moving slowly because of rush and sort of traffic jam. Its always like this here. Rush, traffic jam and alot of voices. I was sitting in the front of bus opposite to driver's side. Listening to  music and thinking about my day at work. It was a slow day. Luckly the road in front of us started to clear but before the driver could move the bus suddenly a White Corolla came in front by over taking the bus and stopped. Driver also pressed the breaks and now once again we were stopped but this time everybody was looking towards the car with a what-is-wrong-with-it look.
After waiting for few moments, conductor stepped out and went to ask if there was any problem. He came back second later and told the driver that man driving the car want to talk to you. Driver hesitated for a moment but he stepped down and went toward the car.
He was halrdy by the car's door when suddenly it sprung open making him jump a little. A man came out of car wearing all white cotton shalwar kameez and a big frown on his face. He slapped the driver on the face. It was all so suddent that I couldn't believe my eye what I just saw. A loud.....OYE came out of my mouth and I paused the music playing in my ears. Even more suprise was on the face of bus driver. It took a minute for everybody to understand what has happened and then they rushed towards them. By then the man had slapped him again and now he was gesturing him to say sorry. Driver looked in shock and confused which is why he didnt resist back. Now other people also have started to gather around the car and they were all asking what is going on. The man kept on insisting to say sorry when the driver refused to do so. He slapped him again and this time driver resisted back. He grabbed the collar of his white kameez. People broke them apart after a little effort.
Now someone asked the car driver again about what-is going-on? He replied this time and I could clearly see suprise on that man's face. He turn and walked towards the bus driver . He said something to him and people around the bus driver had the same kind of surprised look on their faces too. A minute later driver started to walk back towards the bus and the man tried to stop him. But this time the people around him didnt let him do so. He came back to bus and so did the conductor and other passengers.
Inside the bus was complete silence and everybody was looking at the them with same question What-the-hell-was-that? But nobody was daring to ask and driver was choosing not to look up to anyone.  That silence was broken by the sound of a middle aged man cursing the police. I turn around to look at him. He was sitting two seats behind me. It seemd like he understood the question in everbody's eyes which is why he told what happend without even asking. He said
The man in the car was DSP of the nearby police station. He was in a hurry and wanted to cross the bus. But bus driver didn't pay attention and didn't gave him way to over take the bus.
I looked outside again on the man in white suit in disbelief. My mind went blank and the only words came in it was..............SERIOUSLY.
I saw a man gesturing the bus driver to get out of here. Slowly the bus sprung around the car move forward leaving the suprise crown behind.

Baby Steps

I am way to much over thinking about the first post. I continued to stared at the cursor for like 30 minutes before evening type the first word. Its not because I didn't have anything to say. I wanted to write an imprssive first post to lure people out there to read and show interest. So the first word I came up with was "Well".
I gave up three times while writing and then in fourth try ask Google for help:) Its amazing how a simple website became answer to every question. Among friends we used to joke about putting Google as reference in assignments rather than a long list of references.
So I was saying about searching topic about my first post. I found some quite interesting topics during my research. Like "The Art of Getting What You Want ". Regardless, writing something is difficult even when you have alot to say. I thought writing about social and political issues but then I thought "Keep it simple, Walk before you could run". So I end up writing this post.
Hey....you got to start from somewhere. So this is my SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!
