With a view to get back home before the start of the game, a couple of friends and I were rushing to catch the first bus from office. We had to pass a lady, who didn’t seem to have any worries about the India – Sri Lanka tie, and was walking really slowly. When we did get past her, I whispered to my friend a Koundamani dialogue “Yemma, TV-la cricket match paakara maadhiri edho sowgariyama utkaarndhirukkeengale!” We had a good laugh, and got to the bus; and were lucky to have the only seats that were remaining.

A couple of minutes later, the woman boarded the same bus. We didn’t realise till then that she was pregnant. And there was no seat left! She had to travel the next hour standing.

No, this isn’t something about Vijay Krishna, the gentleman. Even before any thoughts of relinquishing my seat crossed my mind, a charming young girl got up and gracefully forced the pregnant lady into her seat.

Sorry!

    Andha side mattum namma gabtun vandhurukkattum.. “Prasava vedhanai-na ennanu theriyumaada..” apdinu oru periya diualogue pesi, oru periya kal eduththu un mela katti bus pinaadi vara solli iruppaar! Auuunn! ;)

    Jokes aside, it doesn’t show lack of civility. It shows a lack of readiness that is common with many of us. As long as the sum total of civility in the vicinity of the lady is good enough and timely, it ought to be good enough! :)
