The other day, while i was travelling in a bus from by home to gariahat,i got a seat immediately behind the driver. That entailed me two privileges...
1> i got an exclusive side window [if one remembers, the seat planning in a private bus in calcutta, there are only two such seats,parallely , at two ends]
2> the sound box of the fm radio was installed was installed right above my head, thus ensuring fool-proof sound reaching my ears.
after a whole lot of nice, ear -soothing musics and chit-chats Of the RJs during borings jams and tedious journey over potholes and indisciplined roads, finally when i was about to get ready to alight from the bus,
the 93.5 red fm started playing one of my current favourite tracks --the song maa from the film 'taare zameen par'. from the core of my heart , i started praying hard, that the traffic jam may , no , must continue , so that i can listen to the full track, before getting down...! the first stanza ha passed off smoothly, and just when the song was on its melodious high octave, the driver tuned the radio to some defferent frequency , which had a shitty song on air......!
concious, subconcious, or semiconcious---in every possible state of my mind , i felt like hurling mean to meaner abuses at the crappy driver, for commiting such a heinous crime (!) and thus depriving of the opportunity to give some respite to my ears from hustle and bustle of the traffic...!
but , remembering the saying , " to err is human, to forgive is divine", i chose to forgive him reinstating in my mind that " choices do differ"
my bus stop had already arrived, rescuing my mind from further brooding into such trifle grudges !!
