BIRTHDAY season has arrived. and it seems even this year, i am going to celebrate in PUNE. a chilly birthday. this time it was the abrupt 'HELP' call from one of our client which brought me here.
the travel from BOMBAY(i still prefer the old name) to PUNE is always interesting. it was too late yesterday evening so i had run out my ideal option of travelling by train. i was one hour late to catch the last MSRTC's SHIVNERI bus starting from THANE. i was left with only two options, travel by ST or ASIAD bus. both buses are operated by MAHARASHTRA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION (MSRTC).
best features of a ST bus:
1. commonly know as "tin ka dubba" (can made of tin)
2. it shares its colour with FERRARI.
3. when in motion it makes the sound of 4 turbo jet engines working together.
4. the sound and speed relations are proved wrong here. when inside you feel you are travelling at a speed greater than 10G (greater than the speed of sound), when outside you wonder how did it take 4 hours to cover a distance of 180 KM with all that sound.
5. the shock absorbing technology used in these buses were developed by HENRY FORD.
6. each bone in your body will be rattled to MAX.
with all these in my mind, i choose ASIAD.
i swear to GOD it reminded me of the DISCOVERY space shuttle simulator i sat in at the KENNEDY SPACE CENTRE recently.
attention NASA. you can outsource the astronaut training to MSRTC!
