Where have I been all this time? "Keeping your ear to the ground" you reply.

Wrong I say. All this time, I have been practicing my "1 Finger One Toe " (1FOT) exercise. 

And just what am I jabbering about? Well, all those who have travelled by the BMTC (Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation) will know that in the overcrowded buses, there is space for a commuter to hang on with just one finger and one toe. Hence the name. 
Which brings me to Superstar Rajnikanth's first law (SR1stL), which states : 'In a BMTC bus, there is ALWAYS space for one finger and one toe' 

And the corollary by Bus Conductor Kariappa which states : 'After you have occupied your finger and toe space, there appears more space just sufficient for another finger and toe'. 
That means that in theory, the capacity of a BMTC bus is infinite. But that's in theory only in actual practice, greater capacities have been observed. 

Getting to occupy your finger and toe space requires a great deal of practice. Just what yours truly has been up to. It requires the deft footwork of a Rahul Dravid (Cricketer) along with the pace of a Javagal Srinath (Another Cricketer). If you have the lightening thought process of Vishwanathan Anand (Chess Grandmaster), you have definitely arrived (at your destination) And these days I hear of our PM and his BUS* diplomacy. Enough I say, bus. Bus diplomacy would be pacifying irate commuters and conductors. Let's see if you can do that Mr V (PM).

feedback & faqs ?

* Pun on 'BUS' which means 'Enough' in Hindi.
