The Bus Ride!!!

What is the difference between Living a life and being just alive?

The same difference which is between driving a car and travelling in a city bus.

In one case you are master of your fate, you know if you want to accelerate or slow down, take a risky cut or sail around. While when you are on a city bus, you will be travelling from one destination to other but you won't be the one who decides how should the journey take place, which path to choose?

Our entire life; we are travelling in a city bus, ever since we are born till we die, most of us will be changing their buses but they will keep travelling in a city bus. How often do we stop, to think, to measure our options, may be to buy a car?
While we are young our parents drop us in the bus to school and we enter into adolescence without even peeking out of the bus. Often we spend time trying to do mischievous acts behind the backs of the conductors.We are so busy fighting with the bullies of the bus, trying to create our own identity in that place.And before we know the time gets over and we have to board down from the School Bus.
Some of us thinks this is the time to buy a car, some even suggest this idea to their parents. But most of us are back, including those who seek their parents' permission; and this time to board the Bus to COLLEGE. Time we have new mates, new conductors, sharper turns, bumpy rides, you feel the thrill of riding a real city bus, you think this is the closest to the edge you will be going, because of someone Else's driving. After the journey is over. You will buy a car for yourself and will happily drive it for the rest of journey ...
But as the time to end this journey comes closer, you realizes that you don't know how to drive, you have spent so many years travelling in a bus that you didn't care to learn how to drive. The gutsy people still go out to buy a car, others join driving lessons, but this is the story of the selected few, those you are the one with Guts and glory.
Most of us are still not the gutsy kind, our faces are as panicked as it can get. And in this panic moment, we feel helpless, our brains stop thinking, every near one, dear one, suggest us different bus to catch. But in this panic driven moment most of us always catch the first bus we find space in, most of us feel further week in their knees when they are not allowed in the first few of these buses, and they board over in some places they wouldn't even have looked otherwise.

And so start our next journey the Journey of Career, in few cases a break journey of various Careers.
Some still buys a car, some buy a really luxurious one, but at the end we find only one answer for everything , that no matter which path or way the bus driver will take you, once you are boarded on a bus you can not say NO to the driver, do don't board a bus if you hate the path. Don't join a journey if you don't feel like doing it. Buy a car if you want to drive yourself, even if a small. Else be happy about the drivers route and your fate. Because my friends at the end of journey all of us will be meeting again, in the same destination. No matter what.

Bonne Voyage!!
