AN ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY TO HP

It was a bright monday morning...I was in a great mood to work tat week.. Me n ma frnd Nandhini were there waiting at t bus stop for our bus.It was t first time tat i had planned to board t HP bus. V were at t stop by 7.15. Our HP buses have just a paper stuck on t bus and it was difficult for us to identify t bus thru tat. Thr was a "Singh" waiting thr for t same bus. V could make out tat frm his HP tag. As usual v had a gr8 chat at t bus stop discussin abt our week end spent. Only then v turned to realise tat t "singh" whom v tried to keep track of was not thr at t stop. So v thot f boardin some other HP bus tat passed thru our route. Poor gals v never knew tat all HP buses wont stop thr.

Thn v found our saviour. Ther came a bus with a A4 sheet stuck on it "HP STSD". V boarded it thinkin tat it was some other HP campus in Electronic city n tat v cud walk frm thr to HP GDIC. After v entered t bus v realised tat it was an AC Volvo bus. V were damn sure tat none of our GDIC buses were as sophisticated as tat. But still v wanted to try our luck. After 5 min v realised tat t bus was goin in a route tat wud never lead to Electronic City.Tat much v cud make out..V cud ve very well got down t bus. But thn, since v were new to bangalore n tat v hardly knew places v thot lets go round t city..v were in a way scared since v dint know whr t bus ll finally stop. Still v sat back n relaxed enjoying t sight seeing v had. After about some 45 min t bus finally came to a halt. Finally v were happy to see tat v had reached HP. But t sad thing was tat it was not t HP campus whr v were supposed to go. Yea! v were at HP STSD which is in KR Puram..some 33 kms frm Electronic City :( V thn asked t security abt a stop nearby. V got into an auto n reached t stop near KR Puram railway station. V were lucky enuf to get a bus imm..V reached Silk Board in 30 min. V walked to a stop n waited for some BMTC bus. But to our surprise none f t buses stopped thr. But v found many ppl waiting thr... After waiting for abt 15 to 20 min v came to know tat it was not a bus stop..it was a stop whr ppl boarded company buses.. So started walking again to reach t nearest stop which was too far. V thn got in another bus(this time it was t correct bus)...

Finally our adventurous journey to HP ended as v got down at our stop. V both looked at our watches. It was 11 am...omg it hardly takes 20 min to reach electronic city frm koramangala. But v gals had gone ard t entire city n had taken 4 hrs totally to reach our place...
