mean world...

it ws saturday afternoon and i was returning from ISI..nothing very different on dat day just that i was retrning a little early..got upon the bus n not much to my astonishment stumbled at the steps..
so u see..everything was the same..with earphones plugged in i got comfortably into a vacant seat in the ladies section but then i noticed something..Generally wen i get into a public place i behave as if i some kind of princess and dont even bother to look around at people..bt then tht moment was different..no not at all dont think that i found my prince charming sitting rite across me dats not possible...neither did i saw a pretty gal whose looks i could envy and it ws definitely nt my favrt superstar frm the land of bollywood..then what was it that drew my attention??...there was this man in his forties and his wife...talking to each other and completely lost in their conversation..then wats so dammn diffrent in it.every other couple is....dat is wat evn i wondered n then i realised that there was so much love which wasnt expressed through mere words but signs and actions..probably god did not want them to make such a beautiful feeling, expresssable in words , or rather anything for that matter..yes i think you have understood wat i am trying to say...the couple was deaf and dumb but still one of the most comfrtable and good luking couple..so i looked at them trying hard to make out the actions bt cudnt decrypt a single move..n then i quit !!! the crowd in the bus kept increasing but i enjoyed my privilege of being a lady(lollzz..)..then another couple got into a bus..("no i wsnt doin couple watching sitting inside the bus") he too in his forties perhaps.. n then he asked the other man, sitting next to his wife to vacate d seat as it ws a ladies section..n to his surprise the man dint respond .. hw wud he??..aftr all...!!!
sooner the man realised the person he ws persuading to do something was actually a disabled or "specially abled" as i wud prefer to call..n then he showed his real colours..he called out to the conductor and started ridiculing that poor soul ... that ws the moment wen i lost it and just felt like breaking all shackles and go and defend my specially abled...but then i jus cudnt..god knows why..???? and then the obvious happened the conductor somehow managed to shift that person to some other seat and leaving behind that grinning pig..(i ges tht is wat i wud like to refer to him..) u cud substitute it the way u want it..and then there was d social helplessness which i felt strongly..and many more resentments attached i got down at my bus stop and then moving on with my so damned life..which wud jus remaen centralised arnd myself without being able to do sometthing for people i wish for.."so desperately.."


cheers Sweta!!!!
