I like kelas.
As I stood contentedly in the centre of the bus as it approached a bus stop, a woman nearing 50 came plodding to the guy sitting in the window seat closest to her. Me and another man, also in a window seat, disinterestedly observed
"Does this bus go to Ambattur OT"
"Yes", said the guy clearly, with his voice betraying the little satisfaction one gets in helping people in ways that don't stretch us in any way.
The woman, however, started to walk away from the bus instead of getting on. The other man shouted out and told the lady that the bus was indeed going to Ambattur.
Our friend the helper was, however, totally unfazed by this and looked ahead, wide eyed, as if nothing out of ordinary happened.
As the lady finally sat down, I started laughing.
If none of you are laughing, know that you had to be there.

There's a good (short) story which happens in a bus in Va Pu Kale's 'swar'!
Your post somehow reminded me of that!
>>As the lady finally sat down
Where did the lady sit ?
In the bus ? or back in the bus-stand. Sorry got 'ambiguous'ed.
