Cat Nap

I barely hear the sound coming from the hindmost portion of my shuttle. I try not to tune into the conversation of people chewing the fat... my friend sharing the dual seat beside me, long lost in his own world of sleep.

Meantime i look through the wayside to find some interesting faces while listening to song played by RJ on radio.... I see people haplessly waiting in bunches for their transport to pick them up.... i try to get a quick glance before my driver swirls past the vehicle. But he disappoints me. I give a wild stare at my driver for not giving me a chance (again.....). But i convince myself saying "Tomorrow Never Dies", hope to find carry the undone the next day.... At the same time, i find couple of denizens in the transport equally disgusted (but not sure with the quality of the crowd or with the rushing driver)....

Hypnos (Greek God of Sleep) is gracious on my neighbour i feel, when i see his head hopeless swaying sideways... Now seriously inspired by him, i decide to spend rest of the journey to office with sleep...

5 minutes past this, i am awankened by utter of the vehicle brakes..... oh, it is the same clogged road with traffic... I hear some concerned colleagues cursing the burgeoning traffic in Blore and how this strech of the road is always infected.... I see busy two-wheelers climbing onto the foot path to avoid the traffic and meanwhile scaring the people on the footpath.... i think of passing a comment on the worsening traffic and how it is affecting the mankind turning toward my friend thinking he should be awake by now... But i was wrong, the sleeping beauty has not moved an inch.

I decide now the worst of traffic is done and i soon realize that not much of a distance is left to the office... Without wasting any time involving myself about the global issues like traffic, humankind, bad roads etc, i try to sleep in the background of the Radiocity, heavy locomotive ripple and colleagues chit-chat. And to my luck, i catch sleep....

........I feel ages gone by since i slept, suddenly, i'm thrown out of my seat.....soon i get to know that i am on the worst of part of the journey on a stone age route used by my ancensters.... I curse the BCC for snatching the slumber....

And turn to my friend to discuss about the wrath of humanity under such Conditions ....but ........ i fail again.... he is unmoved....
