Yesterday Mr.A and me had the most wildest, fastest and craziest bus ride ever on our way back home from work. Now usually with a sane and safe bus driver it would take about 35-40 mins to reach Bandra(West) from Andheri (East). With an insane and unsafe driver it would take about 25-30 mins to cover that same distance... Yesterday it was totally different and quite frankly i really, really can't find the words to descibe this bus driver... I guess calling him "Inhumanly Whacked!!" would be an under statement. This fool behind the wheel was seriously putting people infront of the bus on a death row. A few of the people who almost got slayed by this "Loco" driver were... Old ladies aged between 45-50, Cyclists from our pavwallas to our doodh ka bhaiyas...and people waiting to catch this "Reaper's Ride!!". I couldn't believe it when i looked out infront of the bus i saw this rickshaw, the poor vehicle was reved up in top gear, the engine was screaming as the rick did it's best to race ahead of the bus. Unfortunately the rick had it coming.... No one runs away from the Reaper!!... Our bus got ahead of the rick and shoved it off onto the left side of the road. The rick's days were numbered...I guess the ricks best wasn't good enough...lol >D... Well it was only when i got off the bus that i actually realized that i made it to Bandra(West) from Andheri(East) in a flat 20mins. This was one crazie bus ride i won't forget. I guess the bus was racing hard on the road because our bus was chased by another bus which was on the same route as ours... Just imagine this... 2 buses one behind the other, racing on the same route in afternoon traffic... Hmmm!! Guess it's just another day in Mumbai... >=)
