Chalo utho, yeh ladies seat hai!

      "Utho chalo, yeh ladies seat hai", "padhna nahi aata?" a mid 20s girl to a mid 60s man, isn't it sad?
    I happen to travel by BEST bus every morning at 7.00 for CST. Everyday i hide my secret agony, cy convincing my mind why to interfere. There is this group of ladies who travel along with me everyday, I supposedly assume they all work in Old custom house de to their actually idiotic gossip and disrespectful language. Anyway, the real reason i mentioned them here is because they play a dirty game , All of them get into the bus on different stops, the first one gets in and blocks the general seat, then follows the other three and do the same, the rest who boards the bus on the other stops gets the ladies seat.According to me this is wrong, when seats are allotted, why are people interested in eating someone else's cake? Do they lack manners and etiquette, or the never went to school or never studies value education?
    Today, in the morning, the same actions took place, same few people but a very shocking sight, a almost 65yrs old man was seated on my neighboring seat which happened to be a ladies seat because all other seats were packed, he was lean, not so fresh looking man, seemed as if he was on his way to crawfrod, he could merely stand straight, I saw him for the first time today, we exchanged smiles, he was very pleasant and a nice man, i took the liberty of assuming it from the mute conversation we had.After some four stops passed entered a very hep and happening girl wearing shots, singlet and a open zip hoody with funky and colored hair, she walked in with fake pride, searching for a target where she can spill some words and win a seat. The bulls eye happened to be this old man, she walked towards him and said "utho chalo, yeh ladies seat hai, padhna nahi aata?". She spoke these words to that aged man, Just by wearing designer brands and using F**k, bulls**t, a***o*e etc in a sentence does not depict that one is super modern, I personally think people who are very much aware that they don't know actual English or are insecure about the language use such words to divert the attention of the listener who can be critical, to these words, with an objective of making a listener merely shocked and awe. Height of illusion isn't it?
    I wanted to argue, and give back the seat to the old man but then it was totally futile as the conductor tried to do the same but failed, and rules are rules, she sat down with the gesture as if she had conquered her goal, a winning smile she gave to me, I looked down on her, and why not, i hated her for what she did. I offered my seat to a lady seating on the general seat and asked the old uncle to adjust on her seat. The sight of his face was something, I don't think I will ever forget, He was sad!
   This is not the first time, i have seen many such incidents when u have to control your anger deliberately, in local trains as well young girls enjoy their journey by blocking seats not only for themselves but also for their friends who join them later, and make the old ones stand, enjoying self comfort and the sight of others discomfort. I believe aged people are like children, they need a lot of understanding due to their mood swings, the need to be taken care of, need to be pampered just like young ones, who are very innocent, loving but appear naughty, temperamental, demanding etc. One cannot think of hurting a child, so one should not even think of intentionally or unintentionally think of hurting aged ones.
    Sometimes I wonder why cant people just enjoy the perks offered by the government without playing dirty games?Why is that everyone is becoming so rude, ruthless, self-centered and cheap? Is there no humanity and respect left in those who look or hunt for self comfort, "kuch bhi ho jaye, hume problem nahi honi chahiye, baki saab bhad mein jaye, humko kya?" This attitude is sure to make them lonely and miserable some day. I don't want them to be punished, but they some day should realize what they did once and are doing. Realization of such cruel act is necessary.
   I am feeling disoriented as there are many such experiences which are not very pleasing. I just hope that the schools should increase the value education periods so that such a sight is rarely visible after few days or years. Its indeed very saddening where the youth is projected, where the world is going, I am very sure this is not only the scenario in mumbai. To conclude, i plead the readers that take some thoughtful and smart actions next time you see such sights, People who have committed might change with your noble actions, lets hope!
