Bus...!!! Stop!! < Get it? >

Traveling in a train is a fancy that any kid will nurture. It is fun. There are many reasons for it. It makes the rhythmic beat, it is faster than the average automobile and it has lots of space to run around. The mix of sugar and caffeine fluids sold during the journey makes them high. This further increases the excitement.

Hey, this sounds like an article written by a child psychologist. Whatz ur point? ............ Duh... It is like this. I was traveling by an electric train the other day.
SO?!!!

Whatever....

Then, there is this bus. On roads, I prefer my ever present scooter. A kinetic honda. It is a very old model, almost a collector’s edition. It gives a mileage of probably 10 or 12, which is relatively low for a 2 wheeler (Cycles are not considered). ..... Yeah.. about these buses. I stand in the grueling heat, waiting for all the smoke machines to pass. I have to cross the road with my collectible. The road is almost clear, expect for one lone 50 cc vehicle which was bought getting some loan, increases the average decibel level of the area. It announces itz arrival with a loud “VRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”, that a blind man would think it was a Harley Davidson. I wait for it to pass. It moves past me. My ancestral origin is now being questioned. I had become black. My countenance is reflected in the mirror. I get shocked. I was afraid that my pigments had mutated. I rub my face with my hand. Now my palm pigments get mutated. It took a while to realize that it was coke. Yeah, it is pure black carbon, right out from the loaned vehicle. I am relieved.

My head makes a 30 degree twist on the XZ plane once again to see if any other gene mutating aliens came by. There it was! It could be seen from a very long distance and I trembled on the mere thought of crossing the road. It was a magical vehicle. It defies the laws of physics. It has a huge TIN body, which weighs a ton. It is not statically or dynamically balanced, but still it stays curiously on top of 6 wheels. I doubt if those so called wheels are really wheels, because a wheel is supposed to be circular. But this one is a mix between oval and a rhombus. But still, it manages to move on the road. It carries a huge load of Homo sapiens. Their origin now comes of good use. Their natural instincts to climb trees and swing from branch to branch have slightly been improved by the development of mankind’s brain. Instead of using their arms and physical prowess to jump from tree to tree, they are now just clinging on to their invention to move from place to place.

In the national geographic channel, I have often seen lions and their life history. A new mom, (lioness) after doing its duties to itz cubs, it pretends to ignore them. It just keeps walking away, while the cubs hamper around and behind the lioness to grab her attention. This is exactly how the bus moved. As it ignored all the smaller vehicles around it, the smaller automobiles hampered around the bus to somehow squeeze thro the small, but, hopeful gap that the bus provides in the space it occupies on the road.
As the bus crosses the road, a small light of hope passes my face. I can cross the road at last! But no.... the less fortunate vehicles that couldn’t find their gap in overtaking the bus (and as in any group, the less fortunate are in large numbers!) , honk and obediently follow the bus. As they bus goes a long distance, all the smaller vehicles also clear the road. Good!

I cross the road.

Earthlings!! Behold!

Hey! I am quite surprised! I am actually blogging!... Now. wait. Where was I? ....... Yeah! One of my friends, whom I met in an online community said that she was a down-to-earth person. The immediate thought that flashed across my mind (for regular readers of my rambles, ... yeah! I changed it to flashing mode... now don't disturb my flow!) was.... "Hey! Everyones down-to-earth" . I mean, every human being is down on earth! Now I feel stupid! Infact I also bet that u too feel the same about me! "Hey Moron! Thatz a figure of speech!"

I think I would have done wonders if I had studied archeology! When something sounds stupid and also makes me feel stupid, I start digging into itz root. "You should have been a tree!.. that would atleast help you dig deeper,with your own roots" So, I start searching for the root behind the figure of speech 'Down-to-Earth'.

I guess it all started with the figure of speech that indirectly meant, that a man was too proud or haughty. It is 'His nose is in the air'. Now when someone says your nose is in the air, he also means indirectly that he hates you! Now thatz a different subject.. I am digressing.

Coming back. When the nose is in the air, it automatically means that your 'head is held high', which in turn means that your head is not on the ground but is above it! Right?!!
So, I assume that , ' Down-to-earth' means, your head is not above the ground!

Once again, my brain/mind (both are the same according to me) flashes! I am immedialtly reminded of an ostrich. People working for the National Geographic have given affidavits that Ostriches bury their head into the ground when it sees an enemy (who else, but predators! .. No , no not the arnold movie! ) approaching it.
So, does that mean that ostriches are also down to earth, when they are threatened or frightened? But again! Ostriches have very very tiny brains in their tiny head.
Borrowing some of Darwin's theory, I am hereby presenting a corollary. Ostriches have elongated necks because........ their brains are so light that they float in air, which in turn resulted in their present looks!

Assuming that this corollary is correct (Of course it is correct! This is my blog and I write what I want !), how can ostriches be 'down-to-earth'? Itz actually 'light headed'!

Hey hey hey!... Does this mean, what I think it means? Does that mean that all the proud people are morons? I mean, just connect these two.... Proud people , hold their head high in air, and foolish people are refered (by nuetral people) to as light headed and a light head floats , which means it is held high in air!!!

Whew!....
Shakespear and Darwin would have adored me! Pity I wasn't born in the rennaisance period....
Hey I left Newton... He too would have been proud of me! I would have held my head high in air!
"Hey .. Damn you!..Leave this place , it has caused an extensive and mass death"


PS: All the quotes in double quotes were made by my alter ego.

Blogging has always been a matter of utter disinterest to me!... I thought it was just a waste of time, where people just rambled about their worries and life. For that matter, I still haven't changed my opinion!
Now you must be wondering "Then why on earth did u create a Blog account ? " ... I dunno... May be , its just to tell people "Hey! I am a blogger too!" ...
Man is a social animal. He has to live in the society. Living is no problem, but able to strike a chord with his fellow being is another thing! Most of my friends have a blog spot. When we have a get together ,the topic often finds its way (!) into this blog thing. This is where I get lost. I feel ignorant. But still, I point out my views that it is a useless thing and it is nothing but a mega waste of time.
Romans were supposed to have been the first civilization to pop up with the idea of Democracy ( Demo- People, cracy- Rule.... but in my point of view, its Demo- A demostration (refer dictionary.com for other meanings of demostration) and cracy - spelling mistake, its actually crazy). This concept of democracy is now deeply rooted n the minds of these demos, that when I point out that blogging is a waste of time, I get badly defeated in the polls ,100:1 , where 1 is my own vote.
Again a question might ring in your brain (if you have one that rings) . "If you are so much against blogging, then how come you typed so many words in the blog spot?" .... Duh!! You can't keep asking me questions! It is my blog spot ,and I do what ever I want to! ... Gawk!.. I fell in my own trap!.. Actually, it has just dawned into my brain( for your info, my brain is in vibrating mode, it doesn't ring) .... May be thatz why blogging is so impressive! People write what ever they feel like! It is their own space and they write what they want to!
"MORON! You are going against your idelogy" (that was my alter ego) ... Wait , wait, wait! That was a very late realization!
When I started registering for my own blog spot, the advt said the same thing!" It is your own space inthe web!"
Hey!... It is just stupendous!! Now I have just hit the theory behind realization of God! I know , I know! You want to ask " What crap? " ... But don't get disheartened! This time I am not going to be rude!...
We all know that God exists, right? (I am not talking to athiests). But we still don't have the proof that He exists. Now this is like the advt that I came across when I registered into this blog spot "It is your own space in the web". When I read that I knew that the blog existed , but I didn't realize it. Then I started writing stuff (This one, to be precise! ). Now I have realized it!
STOP! STOP! Enough! (TWMAE (That was my alter ego))
Ok! (TWM (That was me))
All my brain energy has been sapped because of my effort to attain realization (Not spirutual!! ), but mostly I think it is because of the constant vibration of my brain that caused all this energy failure. I guess I will recharge and come back!


OH NO! Power cut in my area due to maintence!
