I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  59. The ride by a local bus to office would take me a half hour. By the time, the bus reaches our pick up stop, it is already brimming with people, tilting it precariously to one side. I manage to get a foot in and before the bus starts moving, find myself sandwiched between bodies. Literally, standing on one foot, flamingo like ( definitely not as beautiful a sight), coming up for air, I hear the conductor of the bus, shrill, over the din, ‘Tickets Please’.

    From where the voice sails, all I can see is an outstretched hand, above a sea of varied coloured heads. I pass the required money, shouting out, ‘ K.G. Road ge ondu ticket kodi’ (one ticket to K.G. Road). Watch, how the change is transported from one stranger’s hand to the next, finally reaching the conductor’s extended arm. Instantly, a ticket flies back, taking the same course, to land on my palm.

    The rest of the journey is spent on putting a face to the conductor’s hand and building a character. Soon, ‘K.G. Road bandide, bega iliri (K.G. Road reached, get off quickly), the commanding tone of the conductor can be heard. There goes, a scramble of feet and hands, intent on alighting.

  61. Nice pictures. I liked the first one. Just giving yourself to nature and standing on the mountain and feeling so happy by himself. Lovely. The second picture I would say is that he too is waving out to his family who is on the shore and telling them that he is having a blast in the waters that are giving him such a cool feeling.
