I’ve noticed this several times in the past but never was agitated and never felt bad like this.
Here is what happened!
I was waiting at the Guntur Bus Stand – Tenali Nonstop Counter; there were several hundreds of passengers waiting for the Bus. Most of them were Engg college students. Almost 3 passenger buses came one after the other and people thronged, pushing each other and trying to get a place to sit. Some succeeded while some didn’t and some like me still waiting at the Nonstop counter.
As soon as the much awaited Non Stop bus arrived, these educated engg college students boarded the bus without tickets and stopped the seats for their friends who were still waiting in the queue to buy tickets. Despite I being the 5th or 6th passenger to buy the ticket, I got the last seat in the bus. Why?? Because some of the students were holding the seats for their friends?? One of the passengers even had an argument with a student on why he was doing that.
How can you justify this behaviour?
What about these Technical undergrads? Don’t you know you should respect other passengers and that every person is equal and has equal rights??
Of course they may say that this is not a big deal!! But then they will understand when they board a bus with their old parents and grandparents and some bunch of people board the bus without tickets waiting for someone who will take tickets for them and their parents find no place to sit and have to stand throughout the journey.
Guys,
Please understand the consequence of every act of yours. Try to look from others’ point of view and treat others with respect. These are very minute things in life and you should give a thought of all these details.
India cannot become a great nation in one night. The change starts within each person’s heart. Every individual should realize the importance of being human, being gentle and more over being patient and respectful.
Hope at least some students read this and mend their ways.
