End Terms Knocking at the door

What happens when the exams are right in front of you? Does one tend to behave erratically and start blogging? May be or may not be but I did end up writing this meaningless worth in last five minutes.

A lame man and a blind man were friends and wanted to cross a busy road one late evening. The blind couldn’t see and lame walked slowly, so they stood waiting for the traffic to reduce. One old man wanted to catch a bus. He could see the bus-stop at a distance but still comforted himself with the idea of walking less and stood behind them, believing the bus ‘should’ stop for the lame and the blind. There started the queue and soon a sixty five other people were standing at a place where the bus never stopped.

As usual, the bus reached the bus-stop at the right time and the old conductor gave a call or two. But since no one responded he asked the driver to move ahead. When the bus passed the crowd, some wise men in the crowd waved their hands asking the bus to stop. The driver didn’t care to stop. He had this long standing grudge against the crowd that why the hell do they always stand behind the lame and the blind when the bus-stop is right in their sight.

Sadly that was the last bus of the day and the crowd started cursing the inefficiency of the Government Transport System. Realizing that some thing was wrong, the blind and the lame friends vanished from the spot. After another half an hour, a Tempo stopped at the place where the crowd was waiting for the public transport. As usual some people in the crowd pushed themselves in the vehicle realizing that that was the last option, if they had to reach their destination. The tempo happily moved ahead leaving a few others bewildered.

Moral of the story is that think twice before you stand behind the lame and the blind even if in your heart they evoke a lot of pity or standing in a crowd gives you a sense of security, for you never know where you might end up.
