So what does one do to divert oneself from the songs? Simple…use imagination!
You must have seen human like caricatures… Ever seen caricature like humans? Travel one day in our staff bus and you’ll know what I’m saying! One fine day, my friend pointed at a person who had pleasantly dozed off on the way to office. The look of his face was so comical that my mind almost sketched out a caricature. The one sitting next to him was awake but with his thin petite frame was so highlighted by a Charlie Chaplin mustache making him the second caricature. Another one was in sleep with his eyes half open… well I took off on the most amusing journey of finding a caricature in every face. It was like a superpower; one gaze and the caricature was ready… making it 30-35 caricatures in the entire bus! Alive, Talking, sleeping, snoring, staring, laughing wooo… dynamic caricatures!
At times I built up short stories imagining them working in office! Knowing their departments only added more creativity and colour to the caricatures! These caricatures were my puppets I could use to my advantage to kill boredom of those 45 minutes or even make the most ‘bored- to- tears’ songs to ‘laughing –to-tears’ songs! At times I had to resist my giggles to keep the others from thinking I’d gone insane!
I’m delighted with the caricature artist inside me… on my call wenever needed! Just one regret, wish I could share some of its creations with you! ;)

Even if the 45 minutes seemed too long at times…arriving at office was not something the bus passengers looked forward to! Which explains the phrase above! ;) :P Sorry No offence!
