live show on the move...

I was on my way to hometown on a Saturday night... We (Unisys cricket team) had a cricket match in the afternoon which lasted till 5.30PM! We all were happy in the end as we won that close match but I got damn tired by the time I got inside the bus... The bus was almost empty... Some 10-12 people that’s it... May be because of that they did not play any movie :(... I was getting bored…

Soon after 15-20 minutes (we hadn’t even crossed the city limits...) I heard people shouting from behind… I looked back with anxiety… I could see 3-4 guys were having an argument with a decent looking guy... Something interesting! The decent looking guy was in a Green T-shirt with specs… and other 3-4 guys were not that decent looking… one among them was a giant.. A huge black fat guy… The actual problem was that, they are shouting at the Green t-shirt guy that he did something with one of their friend’s wife who sits just in front of that guy. The Green T-shirt guy says that he did not do anything… but these guys are shouting and shouting… At first it was just an argument… but they started hitting him… that poor guy was trying to hit back... But that huge black guy was too big to resist… After getting 3-4 blows on his face, the bus owner came to the scene from the cabin and calmed down the situation… He was brought to the front seat and made to sit there… though the Green shirt guy was saying that he did not do anything, the giant guy insisted on taking him to the front seat… The woman also said he did something with his hands from behind… he kept on saying he did not do that… The way he was looking and talking it was hard for me to believe that he did something of that sort… That giant guy was drunk… And I felt that this poor guy (green T-shirt) would have tried to open the glass window and that lady would have misunderstood as he is trying to do something else.

I have no idea who is lying. Either case, it’s none of my business as I am not disturbed as such. Anyways it’s all calmed down now… I fell asleep soon… I woke all of a sudden hearing some strange sounds… When I stood up all I could see is that the giant black guy shouting and kicking that poor Green shirt guy… When I leaned over the seats, I could see him on the floor, taking each and every kick from the black guy on his chest and stomach... I felt like I am watching a live WWF program inside the bus! He was lifting him and throwing him to the floor… very soon the owner came to the scene again and started shouting at them. Even the owner was drunk... He was trying to threaten the giant guy by saying - “If you don’t keep quiet, I will hit you…” (It was very funny to listen to his dialogs as he was not even half of that giant guy!!) May be this is what we call as ATTITUDE (:-P)

The reason for the second fight, I got to know after sometime… This Green T-shirt guy went to that woman when the bus stopped for dinner and asked about the matter… those guys were not there, they went out for dinner… she stayed back as she had to take care of her kid… And later once they came back, she told them the story and they again got provoked… He threatened them as well saying he will take revenge for what they did to him when they reach his hometown and all… rest was history (:-D). And at Palaghat next day morning he (The Green T-shirt guy) got down without speaking a word… Without looking at anybody… very silently he went off… Though those guys were expecting him to say something… No matter what others say, I really felt sad for that guy…

I seriously believe that the Green T-shirt guy would have felt insulted in front of other for something which he hadn’t done… and maybe he wanted to prove his innocence or take revenge on those guys… That’s quite natural, I won’t blame him… He should have finished it by saying a sorry and not by going for an argument to a group of arrogant drunkards… Anyways, I still can’t forget that Green T-shirt guy’s face… For a while I was just thinking being in his shoes… It would have been very irritating for me for a very long time, if something that sort happens to me… And I don’t know how I would be reacting to such situation… Ohh God please don’t test me with these sorts of situation ever in life!!

I wonder why nobody came to the rescue of the guy who is being attacked ,apart from the bus owner.
A tug of war between power and justice.......

Hi aunt...
Its not that no one rescued.. its just that nobody knows the truth. and the matter being so sensitive, no one wanted to take part of either side without knowing the real fact.. and the fight was just for few seconds.. that Green shirt guy was also arguing and to fight back..3-4 blows thts it that too in 2-3 secs..:) those were drunk.. Thats the main reason i didn't take anyones side.. I didn't want to put my head into issues of some drunkards, not just that, I don't even know the actual part of it.. According to me... no one was worthy of any support..and i was more over nbeing sensible..Its not a film to jump in btwn and rescue those fighting idiots..
