Bus scenes

old bus. no aircon. pollution. traffic. crazy drivers. overcrowded passengers.


interesting experiences.


Scene 1.
in a bus of sardines, I accidentally stepped on a foot of a woman.. i said sorry but the woman in her sari kept complaining in a loud voice that i cant understand.
kakahiya.


good thing i dont understand complicated bangla specially if it comes from a shrieking woman.
so i just ignored the scene... poor woman kept blabbing till she went down the bus.
so all eyes on me? so what. i pretended to be deaf.

Scene 2.
there are seats reserved for females and babies to avoid harrassment.. although by the looks of it.. in a bus of sardines scenery, this cant really be avoided. dont ask me details, i wont be able to explain further.... basta kadiri to death.
and even if there are places for different genders, the idiot of me sat on the other end of the bus where all men are squeezed in.


so when its time to go down... it was a disaster!!
i even landed a few hundred meters away from Pailan bus stop coz I cant shout enough to the conductor that I wanted to go down and the door is still halfway through!
besides, Ami bangla jhanina. Ki korbe?


hungry. sweating. exhausted. needed to pee. brownout.


foreign girl walking alone in the middle of nowhere.


breaking stereotypes.
idiotic.. great.
