A Hour At Goan Bus Stand

"Panaji Direct Direct" this dialogue can be shouted in unlimited different styles at Mapusa city KTC bus stand. There are so many private bus operators plying on Mapusa Panaji route on daily basis. Each bus is controlled by one driver and one conductor cum cleaner. Today I was at Mapusa Bus stand in evening for sending my parcel of medicnes to my native village . The concerned bus was late so i enjoyed one hour being there. You know these poor guys are very faithful can act as a courier source for sending parcel. Give them a note of 10 or 20 , they surely delivered your parcel to respected place. From every corner of the bus terminus you can hear sounds like ponje ponje, khorli khorli, dodamarg, sankhale, bichole in different styles. You will find different types and models of buses are taking reverse and forward directions to their destinations. You will get a taste of co operation , faith and reliability and exchange of bad words as tadka here. Small exchange of bad words are necessary for this business. Otherwise there is possibility of other bus operator might steal your time of getting passengers. This little quarrels are for time being , next time you will find deep friendship. You will find blooming love here also with touch of love brakes , departure of love ones saying call me ,send mail. At one corner you can find paid love for time being, a smell of pakoras, batata wada of canteen. A group of beggars can disturb you . A chirimiri collecting Khaki is also visible here. After all they are the governing controls of this system. At the end my desired bus came I paid some 20 bucks for delivery of my parcel to conductor for assurance of delivery and I walked down to parking lot with some splashes of nice black brown mud on my trouser.
