One Night @ Malegaon Bus Station

One Night @ Malegaon Bus Station

I don’t remembered that day but its very interesting story in my life . Me & my 3 other friends (Deepak, Rakesh & Bunty)were started our journey to pune from Dhule at around 9.30 pm on that day. usually I am the person who book the ticket for journey most of the time. But I thought that Deepak (one of my best Friend) went Dhule 2 days before I reached their so he may be booked ticket for pune. But I was wrong he didn’t booked the ticket . so I reached Dhule on Saturday & I went to travel agent shop & I booked ticket for pune but this time I got booking for “Gupta Travel” .so you everyone thinking what is wrong with Gupta Travel ,but nothing is right with this travel .It’s the worst travel in my city but I didn’t have any choice because all travelled are already booked .so lastly me & Rakesh (My Second Best Friend) Booked the Ticket & went to Deepak home to tell him about all these.

So at Sunday Night we all 4 were reached at Travels Point where all the travels coming to pick up their Passenger . sorry I forgot to introduce my third Best Friend Bunty (Rakesh elder brother).we called him “Radio Mirchi” because he just like radio he continuously talk. As usual Deepak two friends came with him to say Bye to him. Finally our Travel cum Government bus(ST) came @ 9.30 & Our journey start.
Somebody said that “Every thing will planned “ .First tragedy was Rakesh Seat back part was not assembled well with lower part of seat properly. so the person seated back to Rakesh was not able to seat properly . so he made complaint about that to the bus staff . the bus boy told him please adjust that for that night ,we will repair that tomorrow . so we told him how they Booked ticket for that seat. so he gave long explanation to us & we ultimately understood that we don’t have choice & we must adjust for that night. But person behind the Rakesh was not ready to adjust. For that seat Rakesh ready to scarify his whole night sleep but that guy was not ready . so quarrel between us started .Deepak said something to him & he replied to him. we knew that he was not a normal man so we decide to keep silence.

Now its Rakesh’s turn & he wants to make complaint about the seat to the manger of travel Company .our bus reached at 11.30 pm at petrol pump nearer to our city . Rakesh made Complained to travel manager & he was ready reimburse the Rs. 100 to him . so ultimately settlement happened between us . then Deepak came & told us the driver was drunken. We both were shocked. We didn’t understood what to do & again we didn’t have any choice because we were 20 KM from City & time was 12 AM . one of the passenger heard our discussion & in next few second Everybody in the bus knew that the Driver was drunken & cold war start between some passenger & Driver. These passenger were not ready to travel & they demanding to change the driver. But again same thing Bus manager didn’t had any choice for Driver. so told the Bus boy manage somehow for that night. So the group people who were fighting with driver ready to travel on some Terms & Condition like making agreement for Life between them & Driver. Their first condition was driver will drive bus slowly as he was drunken & when they will reach at Malegaon they will change the Bus for rest of Tour. In Short their demand was drop them to Malegaon alive as early as possible but slowly. We all four were in that group .so journey start at 12.30 AM again but this time we had fear in our mind . again that back passenger start their complaints & this time he used abused word for me & Rakesh became very angry & I also . so Rakesh & me gave him final warning & after that he was understood that if he will speak any single word he will be beaten by us that night so he keep silence for remaining journey .

Deepak slept as usually .many time I thought that he born on earth to sleep each & every time. He never missed a single chanced to sleep. In short he is very sleepy person . he never think about the world , what happened in the world ,he only think that go to hell this world lets sleep & enjoy the life. Rakesh & me were listening song stored in my mobile & that song was prayer for God(In hindi arati for Maa Durga)& suddenly we felt that our bus is flying in the sky as our bus driver overtake the other vehicles just like we playing “Need For Speed Game” . But this time we were playing game in real & with our Life. Because in Game we always get the second chance & in real life we never get second chance. He flew our bus in air one more time but this time we felt that we were taking ride in any big giant wheel & all bus passenger who slept just before half an hour wake up such way that they were nearer to death. On lady shout loudly oh my god ,please stop the bus ,I don’t want to travel. In fraction of second the whole bus environment became like rally everybody was shouting please stop the bus & driver understood that he will soon beaten by all the passenger . he stop bus at Malegaon Chock & he ran away from the bus .

So many of the passenger wanted the new driver for rest of the journey that time & the bus boy tried to find out the bus driver at unknown city to him at 1.30 am.
Some suggested to all lets brake all the glasses of the bus .Everybody was very angry that time. We all four didn’t want adjust anything with our life so we ultimately decided to go to Malegaon Bus Stop & pick up a bus for rest of journey . so we taken a auto rickshaw & reached at Malegaon Bus Station. After reaching their we stroked that we were only four travelers who came at bus station .All the other passenger were there in wait & watch condition. We started blaming on each other why we made so hurry to reached the bus stop. One thing I noticed “if you have bad luck then everything is Bad for You”. Same happened with us .there were no bus at 2 AM to pune from that bus station . that night was very cold & we didn’t had any jackets or swatters. Another problem was Deepak 15” inch Computer Monitor which he hold from last 5 to 6 hours. Again we didn’t had any choice . we all were wait for a bus which came at 2.30 AM (shirdi Bus) . Again Bad Luck bus was full. There were no space for a single person to seat & it was necessary to seat at least one person because of that heavy monitor. Suddenly one aunty came to bus station who was one of the passenger of Gupta Travel & she told us the remaining story after we came from that Malegaon chock. She told us the passenger ready to traveled with same bus & same driver with negotiation at the cost of their valuable life. So we were Happy that we taken right decision . after half an hour at 3 AM we got bus for pune but all we 4 were standing in gang way because we didn’t find any vacant seat . when our bus reached at Shirdi , 10 to 15 got down & we got seats for us as well as our Monitor. When Bus Reached at some village at 6 AM & stop at one Hotel. We got down for tea . we taken a cup of tea & Ready for our favorite time pass that is Photo session .

We taken some photographs there & got in to the bus & rest of the journey started again. we were reached at pune nearly 10 AM in the morning .then me & Deepak taken auto rickshaw from Shivaji Nagar to pune station & Rakesh directly gone to office situated at Shivaji Nagar & his brother got bus for sangvi . Me & Deepak reached at Pune Station but bad luck continuously followed us & we waited for bus for 15 minutes & we then taken auto rickshaw for viman Nagar & paid Rs 60 to them . We reached office at 11 AM . ultimately We reached to Pune .We fought for Life & we made it because we all were alive . we won war against the Life. bad thing was the Gupta Travel also reached to pune safely with same driver but “Life is Short why to take a Risk”. everybody was reached pune safely to Pune & lastly I said Thanks to God for our new Life.
