Call your best friend you haven’t called in a while and chat about something. Come back. See some movie (just kidding) … and. .. even after that if your mind wants to complain to the higher authorities. Go ahead. But please be aware of these things:
- An MTC driver drives the almost the distance between Chennai & Krishnagiri every single day! and that too in our maddening Chennai traffic. Agreed that does not give him the right to do so many things. But gives you the ability to reason better than him 🙂
- MTC conductors are the only job that doesn’t have job role changes as the years go by! He joins as one! Stays as one! and retires as one! So let’s be a bit understanding!
