Travel Diary No 3

Date: 12-07-2013

It is not every time, that you get unknown people in a bus singing together

But that is what happened on Saturday. I was coming to Baroda from Ahmadabad on a state transport GSRTC bus at 10 pm. There were about 30 passengers in the bus including me. As is the new facility, the bus had a TV installed where old filmi songs were playing..

It was also raining heavily outside. Suddenly, an old Dev Anand song came " Yeh dil naa hota aavaraa...'
such good was the tune of that song, that people from backside started to sing slowly first.. then the tone started to increase as others joined in, and people-total strangers to each other, started singing the song, as if they were going in a picnic. The conductor also joined in.

The atmosphere became so pleasurable, that the passing by bus passengers wondered, on what was happening in the bus, before they realized what was happening.
As soon as the song stopped, everybody went back to sleeping

It is not everytime that you see unknown people singing in the bus.. but India is a land of uncertainties and unpredictability.
