Life around a Bus Station

It often so happens that amidst our frequent and not-so-frequent journeys, we come across several of the very common bus stations across the country. Some of them freeze a frame in our mind for their grandiose, and some for their normalcy. Yet, with all the variety, it is mostly a transit point for a journey, either to or fro!

It's often believed that our conscience takes shape during our youth and eventually defines us in a irrevocable manner. And over the time, if all the actions are observed, there is a pattern, which essentially gets defined as our character. The indecisive expressions! Often, though, we are challenged by situations which question us. And in such times, we are stuck in a structural dilemma as to the decision or action we are ought to take. Eventually, we take one, which is best suited to the whole situation. But there are distinct group of people, who are observed to have a to
