Naatak kare toh kauwa kate

Here's one more story from my innumerable journeys to work. Today after I got down at Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai(CSTM) and walked to the busstop of BEST 138. A double decker was waiting, but was full of passengers. Since I was early, I decided to leave it and wait for the next one. Before me in the queue was an old mullaji wear the traditional muslim cap. Soon the bus filled to its brim left and the new commuters started to join the queue, majority of whom try to enter from the starting point of the queue as its a long way to enter from the rear end of the queue. At 7:20 am , there are a lot of girls trying to reach G. D. Somani college which is next to Taj President and all of them look from well to do families. But in the same breath, I would like to add that some of them dont believe in civic rules and getting in the queue is not on their priority list.

By now a few girls had joined the queue behind us , but there was this one girl who kept roaming around the start of the queue with the intention of jumping in first when the next bus arrives. She didnt have the manners of falling in line with others. I dont understand why certain people find it derogatory.

Anyways, within seconds, as god sent a crow flew from nowhere , perched on her head and poked her. She was so scared that she let out a loud scream in front of the junta in the queue and scampered for shelter. The mullaji , who was first in the queue just gestured her to go and stand in queue as it has roof on top. All of us in the queue could not help but laugh on her.
