At The Bus Stop Comments

Rating: 5.0

The driver must be sipping his coffee
By some roadside dhaba, why should he care
If the passengers suffer? …… if I suffer?

This is a really really stupid poem. I don't even want to comment on the terribly amateurish attempt at a poem.

Very very good Dr. Pradhan. This type of situation reminds me not about the bus stop but riding the subways in the large cities. They are sometimes slow, crowded, dirty and most times late. When you have to get to work on time it can be a horrible situation to be caught in. It is difficult to stay calm and patient. Definitely not for the weak minded. Another eye opener from you. Well said.

you have managed to succintly put together the various thoughts that run amok one's mind while waiting for the bus.. i love the link ups created that could have been responsible for the possible delay and how u have succeeded in co-relating it to the myriad of emotions that a human mind is entangled in! ! awesome imagination and profound linkage. kudos! ! |

What a original poem. Never read anything like this. Perfectively depicts the state of mind of passengers at a bus stop. I give 10 out of 10.

This is a good write sir, you have beautifully portrayed the tensions that can spur in the mind of a commuter. I felt this also as a mockery towards the general public who are fickle minded in having a stand. Bravo!
