Essay on Journey by Bus
One day we received a letter about illness of my uncle who lived in a village. The village where he lived is our native place. My father didn’t get the leave from the office. Therefore I had to rush to the village. If necessary, I was to bring him to the city for his next treatment in good hospitals.
As there was no train facility in the village, I had to go by bus. The bus was early in the morning from bus stand. There was a huge crowd in the bus stand. Many people tried to enter in the bus to get a seat, many get injured. I have reserved my seat already; therefore there was no problem for me. But as I entered in the bus at last, my reserved seat was occupied by another passenger. I requested him to vacate my seat, but he was not in the mood of hearing. Then I called the conductor and told him my problem. He ordered that man to leave the seat. Thus I occupied the seat with a sigh of relief.
Then conductor rang the bell and thus bus was started at exact time. Conductor was started issuing tickets to the passengers. After some stations bus gets fully packed with passengers. The condition of road at outer part of city was very bad causing a bumpy journey onwards.
All of us were perspiring because of extreme heat and congestion. Then I heard a cry of baby. I looked in the direction of sound of baby and saw a lady standing with baby in one hand and her bag in the other hand. Therefore I offered her my seat.
At one station conductor announced that bus will be halting for 15 minutes, then I got down the bus and had tea and snacks. Then bus started again after 15 minutes. After two hours I seen some cows on the road and I heaved a sigh of relief. Though it had been a tiring journey, I enjoyed it very much. That journey by bus I can never forget.
