Let Your Hearts Talk

It was a Sunday during the final year of my college. The study holidays (which doesn’t go as per the name at all) time of the 8th semester. There was a feel for most of us that the exams were already over.We never had the thought of studying as do most of the college students. Infact study holidays is not meant for that. ;) So, We decided to go to one of our friend's home .Three of us went from our college in Omr to our friend's home in vadapalani.
We ate well there as we usually do anywhere.. ;) and then we started around 4 in the evening. And after that was what all happened.
We went to the bus stop over there. We were waiting..waiting..waiting!!!!No signs of any bus thru our college route was there. That time it started drizzling. The weather was very great. But we were not in a position to enjoy that. The long wait made us so. And suddenly we were greatly relieved to see one bus for which we were waiting so long. But as most of the buses in Chennai do, the bus dint stop where it had to. It stopped a little away from the stop. For many, It is still a matter of awe and wonder ,why many buses don’t stop in places meant for it. THE BUS STOPS!!! :)
We saw many people running and fighting to get into the bus. In fact people were waiting so long. Some even before we reached the stop. We started walking fast to board that bus. We realized we had to run but our running went in vain. When we went near we found people hanging in the footsteps and the bus nearly started moving. Oh!!!We missed the bus..We had no idea when the next bus will come. We were just standing there thinking what to do next. That time we saw an AC bus coming at a distance. The three of us just looked at each other and smiled. In fact all of us thought the same. We wanted to travel in that after a long tiring wait. We had not been in an ac bus earlier. That was also another reason for the thought :) So we suddenly decided to get into that and ran quickly and boarded the bus.(We dint want to miss this like the other :) )We were very eager to get a place there and to be seated. There were three seats in the last row. As in classes, even here, it is the same last row :)We went and sat there very comfortably and then suddenly realized....That none of us knew where the bus was heading .!!! :D We couldn’t control laughing. We started laughing aloud thinking how we just got into the bus. And then suddenly we became silent. Reason being, The conductor was coming towards us.:) We dint know what to tell him. Two people in front of us started laughing looking at us. We feel happy when see someone laughing(in the sense happy :)) because of us ;) (This is one way of hiding our... cannot say it as embarrassment but comedy time ;) ) And then the conductor understood our position and he asked with a smile whether we wanted to go to guindy. May be he could have thought that was a common place and we can go where we wanted to from there. We had no other option other than saying yes. We were little shocked to see the ticket rate too. That is why it is so called the AC BUS!! :)We checked our purses to see whether we had money to reach hostel. ;) Thank God!!We did have. :) Even after getting the ticket we continued with our fun and laughter as if nothing happened.(Valikaatha maathiriye nadipom la ;) :) ).And then our stop came. Even when we were getting down the two people saw us and were smiling. If we were in their position, We would have laughed even more ;) We got down very coolly and started smiling seeing each other and giving a look which meant...vaazkayila ithellam sagachamappa.(Meaning:All this is common in life) :)And then from there we got a bus to our college and reached hostel. We felt like we had a small funny adventure.(Adventure!!..Surely not :) )
I still don’t know to which place the bus was towards..We never minded to see it after getting down. :)
