but then, as ungrateful as i am towards life in general, i can't help but complain about so many stuffs in my life. Like take today: as i was returning from Thapathali to home, I waited for the micro at Pulchowk Engineering Campus. I know, there is no micro-stand and usually, that area is packed with lines of vehicles waiting for their call...yet, i would like to believe that i was in a decently appropriate spot where all the other micros were stopping by. So, i waited for the epic micro to arrive...it usually arrives really late. So, after around 5-10 minutes, i spot the micro with its blue placard flashing from far away, showing number 14 and i eagerly wait for the micro...i dont run, i dont shout. i wait patiently. But, the micro seems to be in a hurry to cut into some other micro and completely strands me and rushes off. just like that. the conductor did spot me, waving and he bit his tongue...yes...he passed by that close...and flew off.
i said, no worries. the next micro will come after another 10-15 minutes so i decided to walk a little bit till Pulchowk since i did not want to take any further risk. So i was till Damkal Chowk and wait for another micro. after almost 15 minutes, i spot another blue placard...flashing. the conductor shouted "jaane ho?" and i nodded. finally. but the conductor spotted two traffic policemen who were walking ahead and he instead decided that he run off and save himself from a ticket. i mean, i really did think that Damkal Chowk was a proper stop but clearly not. i dont know why the hell the conductor was scared because last time i checked, they were allowed to stop there. by the way, nowadays there are NO stops, people climb on micros or buses while they are running and climb off before they even hit the brakes. so, i missed the SECOND micro.
by this time, it was already late. so i decided i would walk and by the time i reached somewhere near Jawalakhel, another micro would obviously come by. So as i reached Alka Hospital, i spotted it!!! Yippie!!! But, this time i knew it would not stop there because it is NOT a micro stop. It only stops at Jawalakhel! Shit!!! i just managed to miss the THIRD micro in ONE day!!!!!
So, there i was, swearing all i could, after THREE missed micros, about 45 minutes of walk and wait....I realized there are still way too many messed up things to complain about....and i can complain as much as i want.
