Things That Bang

Yesterday while waiting in the Jetlite bus that was supposed to take us to the plane I watched people fidget and then fight with the driver after ten minutes of waiting in the dry heat. The temperature was 42 degrees Celsius outside and inside we all got roasted.

And then the fights started. Rude, ever so rude!! Kids and I were facing some Marwari women. We grinned at each other. Five men were fighting along with one woman. Their volume rose and our grins became wider still.

Delhi-ites in action and only Delhi-ites understood the frustration caused by heat. Its become part of the culture to be rude and demanding when things don't go the Delhi-ite way and sometimes they get so stupid wanting something that the rest of the crowd wants to lynch them!!

Truth be told people who are hated the most are - Delhi-ites and what I love about Delhi-ites is the - I don't give a damn attitude

The bus got us to the plane, the flight was uneventful, we landed in cool Bangalore only to find there were no trolleys to put our luggage on.

We all looked and the same people who had been rude and obnoxious stepped out and got extra trolleys in for others. Delhi-ites being considerate? I couldn't believe my eyes and yeah they were all puppy Punjus with their Mata locket, gold chains and cell phones clutched in bejeweled fingers.

But trolleys they did get and left me wondering if they had inadvertently given the rude inconsiderate Delh-ites a bad name;)
