You managed to actually 'fade out' and made me enter into a direct connection with your muse, The Bus Driver..I'm moved in a way on so many levels. <br /><br />You bring yourself back into your reader's mind at the end (by describing your loneliness at not being valued by him), and suddenly the larger metaphor of 'The Bus of Life' takes centre-stage. It had the Hotel California line come to me.. "We are all prisoners here, of our own device".<br /><br />Now you figure that out. ;-)<br /><br />MumVijay Bhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383130882151015694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213699774180808946.post-52959016349828864412009-07-21T03:03:13.030-07:002009-07-21T03:03:13.030-07:00@ Pawan

And yes, I do try and find metaphors in trivial, day to day experiences. There are a couple of passengers who are not going where my bus is going :(<br /><br />@ Waka<br />Thanks :)<br />And I hope this kick-starts your will to blog again!<br /><br />@ Ravi<br />Thanks man, coming from you, that means a lot.<br /><br />@ Rajnish<br />Erm, thanks. Are you suggesting I have Ravi edit my writing?! A bit pretentious, no? :PFarcenalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737898093111227666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213699774180808946.post-45425148362561044492009-07-20T20:20:03.770-07:002009-07-20T20:20:03.770-07:00Came here through Ravi's blog.Liked the post e...Came here through Ravi's blog.Liked the post especially the idea of a lonely bus driver.<br />I am not so sure about the last line.Check out with Ravi,he is master editor of my stories.<br />All the best !rajnishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699086352920794966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213699774180808946.post-62869257868041524872009-07-20T13:22:57.937-07:002009-07-20T13:22:57.937-07:00Good post.

Shravan,
Apologies first, I am extreme...Clap*Clap*<br /><br />Shravan,<br />Apologies first, I am extremely sorry, even though I started following your blog since a month ago, I made no visible attempt of going through your blog! Today, I made it a point to read all the blogs I have neglected in the past and I came across a gem of a post.<br /><br />I once tried to write about something very trivial, things which people don't really pay attention to. But I couldn't succeed! But today, you wrote on a topic which no other blogger would have f=dreamed to write about! Good post about the bus, the setting seemed like one straight from R.K.Narayan's books!. Loved it man! <br /><br />Cheers! <br />Keep posting stuff like this more often dude!pawanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623152354184765339noreply@blogger.com
