Today I had the bitterest experience of my life. I never had such an awful experience in, my life. I had gone to Agra for urgent work. There were very few buses running today as, most of them had been put on Election duty. I waited for two hours at the bus stop to, get into the bus. It was much crowded. People were pushing each other. Luggage was, falling over people. The bus was more than full to its capacity., There were brawls, even fistfighting which was somehow brought under control by the, timely intervention of some elderly passengers. I somehow managed to get some space, for myself. It was really difficult to even breathe for me. Everyone was sweating. After, the journey of two hours, I came out of the bus and took a sigh of relief., I will never forget this journey in my life., Naresh, Question 2, You are Neha.
