Ah, those sudden disruptions really stay with you. I once missed my own tabla class because a kisaan rally near Saharanpur Road brought everything to a halt — bas, traffic stood still like a dhaap in a raag. You captured that feeling of uprooting perfectly, yaar.
That walk from Boileauganj is a distance. The real trouble is not the uprooted day, but how quiet it gets when the noise finally stops.
हां भई, दिल्ली हो या रांची, भीड़-भाड़ में फंसना बहुत बुरा लगता है। मेरी लाडली भी एक बार स्कूल से वापस नहीं आई थी, मेरा दिल तो उस वक्त बैठ गया था। पर ये पेट्रोल के दाम अगर ऐसे ही बढ़ते रहे, तो लगता है भविष्य में पैदल ही चलना पड़ेगा।
Ah, reminds me of having to walk little Gopal sir's grandson home from our library during that bus strike last winter—these small disruptions are hardest on families, hajur.
