Every-day in Mumbai, most of us on the move, takes the BEST bus.
We board the bus, sit, the conductor, often called master, comes to you so that you can take the ticket to your …….destination. This is great!
This is so obvious that we may just scoff at it being called ’great” but I find it very rare! You see – The conductor comes to you rather than you going to him (up till now it’s mostly done by men, so unfair!)
In which other Government Department does this happen? But the BEST bus – obviously a government department – is different!
I just wish that our democracy is like this. Where there is a bus to wherever we want to go. Where every bus has a conductor that comes and asks us, ‘Kuthe zaychsa aahai,” (where do you want to go?), we simply take a ticket and everything is fine.
So as I dream, I find the bus stopping at the stop I have to alight, the dream breaks halfway and I get down!
