Question

essay on a scene at bus stand​

Answer 1

A bus stand is a very busy place. There is a continuous inflow and outflow of buses. Most of the buses are overcrowded. Some of them are packed to capacity. People are stuffed in these buses like lifeless commodi­ties. The condition of the old, the infirm, the ladies and the children is spiteful. In many buses, seats are reserved for passengers of such categories. But most often this rule is not observed in letter and spirit by the selfish passengers.

Buses begin to ply very early in the 31 Morning. The early office-goers rush to catch them. As the day advances, rush also in­creases. There are long queues at the book­ing windows. When there is delay in the arrival of a bus, the passengers get bored. They begin to look at their watches every now and then. Some people in the queue spend their time in reading newspapers or maga­zines. Others discuss some political matters or ‘seams’. Still others just indulge in gos­sips. Those who feel hungry or thirsty, regale themselves with some refreshment or cold drink at the nearest tuck-shop. Beggars also avail themselves of such opportunities. They just beg or sing to beg.

As the bus arrives, the passengers rush to board it. The queue is often broken. There is scramble between those who want to alight from the bus and those who want to board it. In this struggle, some passengers get their pockets picked. Other loses their luggage. Some of them, especially children, get crushed under the feet of rash and reckless passengers. If any suspicious ob­ject is found at the bus stand or in the bus, the matter must be reported to the police or the roadways authorities.

Some bus stands become pools of muddy water during the rainy season. Some of them do not have proper sheds to protect the passengers from heat and rain. Others do not have proper arrangement for drinking water or neat and clean eatables. More at­tention should be given to the comfort of passengers. The beggars should not be al­lowed to enter the bus stand premises. The vendors’ wares should be surprise checked by health authorities.

                                                  A SCENE AT BUS STAND

A scene at a bus stand presents a colorful spectacle. It presents not one but many scenes within a scene. A modern bus stand holds a mini bazaar that keeps the would busy during the long hours of the day. Passengers are seen pouring in and going out of the bus stand. A few days ago, I went to see my cousin off at the bus stand. We went to the concerned booking window and my cousin bought a ticket for his destination. As there was little time left for the bust to move, we stood scanning the view around us. Some people were boarding the busses while others were getting down. Coolies made money even for small suit cases which they would not allow to be kept inside the bus. Some people were taking tea or cold drink at begging for a coin or two. Somewhere in one corner, mother was meeting her daughter. It seemed they were meeting after a long time. We then saw a pick-pocket in the custody of a policeman on duty. In the motion, I said ‘bye’ to my cousin which he lovingly returned. Soon the bus was out of sight. Yet another bus came into motion. The circle goes on till late into the evening. An idler has uneasy time at the bus stand. An hour at a bus stand provides and interesting study in men and women.
