Last year at the end of October, I was waiting for a bus at a stop in Oxford. It was damn cold even during the day but the saving grace is that almost everything is heated and you really do not need heavy woolens indoors. I had gone to the University (not the Oxford) and was waiting for a bus along with a colleague outside. For some reason or the other the bus was taking some time to come and I don’t know why I did not had my thick jacket (the one I am wearing in this blog’s profile picture, it is a real old one, faded and all, but it is quite warm). Maybe I didn’t carry it because I would always get the bus quickly and I did not wish to carry the extra jacket around. I remember I was literally jumping up and down to keep away the cold.
Thankfully the bus came after a while and I really liked the hot air that would circulate on my feet if I would sit on the left hand side of the bus at the top. Also this time in June I remember one of my British colleague asking me if I found the bus uncomfortable! I asked him if he has ever been to India and been inside a bus? As he has visited India, he immediately got my point. I mean, a heated or air conditioned almost empty bus and uncomfortable??
That is hilarious. How could you be uncomfortable in a heated bus on a cold day. Im sure that illustration of the buses in India helped him understand. I found a new travel site – baraaza.com. I think you will like it. Melissa
Is that the bus-shelter or a double-decker bus, in the first photo?
ha ha 🙂
Good one, Mridula. I loved your narration. I can relate so well to the jumping up and down in the cold:))I get cold really easily, and that’s what I do to keep warm:))
Melissa, thanks for sharing the site.Sidhu, the first one is a bus shelter and the second one the top floor of a double-decker bus :DPriyank, don’t laugh at me!TP good to see you after such a long time.
