Chapter 9, MADAM RIDES THE BUS

~Summary~

 -by Vallikkannan

Valliammai and Her Pastime

Valliammai was a girl, who was known as Valli in short. She was eight years old. She wanted to know about new things. She had no one to play with her of her own age. So her favourite pastime was to stand in front of the door of her house. This always gave her new experiences. The bus that travelled from her street to the town fascinated her the most. Looking at the new passengers every time the bus gave an unending joy to Valli.

वल्लीअम्मई एक लड़की थी, जिसे संक्षेप में वल्ली के नाम से जाना जाता था। वह आठ साल की थी। वह नई चीजों के बारे में जानना चाहती थी। उसके साथ अपनी उम्र का खेलने वाला कोई नहीं था। इसलिए उसका पसंदीदा शगल अपने घर के दरवाजे के सामने खड़ा होना था। इससे उन्हें हमेशा नए अनुभव मिलते थे। उसकी गली से कस्बे तक जाने वाली बस ने उसे सबसे ज्यादा आकर्षित किया। हर बार नए यात्रियों को देखते हुए बस वल्ली को असीम खुशी देती थी।

Valli Wants to Travel in the Bus

Everyday when Valli watched the bus, she wanted to travel in it. This wish became stronger day-by-day until it became a desire. She used to stare at the people while they got up and down the bus. If one of her friends went on a bus ride and described her about the bus journey, she became jealous of her and would shout.

प्रतिदिन जब वल्ली बस देखती तो उसमें यात्रा करना चाहती थी। यह इच्छा दिन-ब-दिन प्रबल होती गई जब तक कि यह इच्छा नहीं बन गई। बस में चढ़ने-उतरने के दौरान वह लोगों को घूरती रहती थी। यदि उसकी कोई सहेली बस की यात्रा पर जाती और उसे बस यात्रा के बारे में बताती, तो वह उससे ईर्ष्या करने लगती और चिल्लाने लगती।

Valli Discovers Details About the Bus Journey

For many days and months, Valli listened to the talks of her neighbours and people who went on the bus journey. She even asked them some questions since they were regular travellers. This way she was able to get even the minute details about the bus journey. The fare was 30 paise for one way and the trip to the town took 45 minutes. She kept on planning and calculating the things for a long time.

कई दिनों और महीनों तक वल्ली अपने पड़ोसियों और बस यात्रा पर जाने वाले लोगों की बातें सुनती रही। उसने उनसे कुछ सवाल भी पूछे क्योंकि वे नियमित यात्री थे। इस प्रकार वह बस यात्रा के बारे में सूक्ष्म से सूक्ष्म विवरण भी प्राप्त करने में सक्षम थी। एक तरफ का किराया 30 पैसे था और कस्बे की यात्रा में 45 मिनट लगते थे। वह काफी देर तक चीजों की योजना और गणना करती रही।

Valli Takes the Bus

Valli took the bus on a spring afternoon. There were only six to seven passengers in the bus. The bus was new with soft and luxurious seats. The conductor was a jolly sort of a person and asked Valli to get seated right up there in front. He addressed Valli as madam’. She started looking outside the bus and was attracted by the outside view. She could see the canal, the palm trees, grassland, distant mountains and the blue sky. A cow running towards the bus made her laugh and clap. The cow was not moving aside despite continuous honking by the driver.

वल्ली ने बसंत की दोपहर को बस ली। बस में छह से सात यात्री ही सवार थे। नरम और शानदार सीटों वाली बस नई थी। कंडक्टर एक हंसमुख किस्म का व्यक्ति था और उसने वल्ली को ठीक सामने बैठने को कहा। उन्होंने वल्ली को ‘मैडम’ कहकर संबोधित किया। वह बस के बाहर देखने लगी और बाहर के नजारे से आकर्षित हो गई। वह नहर, ताड़ के पेड़, घास के मैदान, दूर के पहाड़ और नीला आकाश देख सकती थी। बस की ओर दौड़ती हुई एक गाय ने उसे हँसाया और ताली बजाई। ड्राइवर के बार-बार हॉर्न बजाने के बावजूद गाय एक तरफ नहीं हट रही थी. 

Valli Reaches the Town

The bus reached the town after some time. Valli was seeing the bright shops and big crowd. She stayed in the bus while the other passengers got down. The conductor asked her to get down but she told him that she would go back in the same bus. She refused his offer of giving her a cold drink as a treat.

कुछ देर बाद बस शहर पहुंची। वल्ली जगमगाती दुकानों और भारी भीड़ को देख रहा था। वह बस में रुकी रही, जबकि अन्य यात्री उतर गए। कंडक्टर ने उसे नीचे उतरने के लिए कहा लेकिन उसने उससे कहा कि वह उसी बस में वापस जाएगी। उसने उपचार के रूप में उसे कोल्ड ड्रिंक देने के उसके प्रस्ताव को अस्वीकार कर दिया।

The Return Journey

Valli saw the same wonderful sights on the return journey. She wasn’t bored and greeted everything with the same excitement she’d felt the first time. Suddenly, she saw a young cow lying dead by the road side. It was the same cow that was running towards the bus when she was going to town. She was filled with sadness on seeing her. The bus moved on but the thoughts of the dead cow haunted Valli. She no longer looked outside the window. When the bus reached her village at three forty, she ran straight for home. Her mother did not get to know of her secret journey.

वापसी की यात्रा में वल्ली ने वही अद्भुत दृश्य देखे। वह बोर नहीं हुई थी और उसने उसी उत्साह के साथ सब कुछ का अभिवादन किया जो उसने पहली बार महसूस किया था। अचानक उसने सड़क के किनारे एक जवान गाय को मरा हुआ देखा। यह वही गाय थी जो शहर जाते समय बस की ओर दौड़ रही थी। उसे देखकर वह उदासी से भर गई। बस आगे बढ़ गई लेकिन मरी हुई गाय के विचार वल्ली को परेशान करने लगे। उसने अब खिड़की से बाहर नहीं देखा। जब बस तीन बजकर 40 मिनट पर उसके गांव पहुंची तो वह सीधे घर के लिए दौड़ी। उसकी गुप्त यात्रा के बारे में उसकी माँ को पता नहीं चला।

Conclusion of Madam Rides the Bus

The chapter – Madam Rides the Bus explained the desire of a young girl to take a bus ride from her village to the nearest town. However, on her trip an unfortunate incident taught her the meaning of life and death.

अध्याय – मैडम राइड्स द बस ने एक युवा लड़की की अपने गाँव से निकटतम शहर तक बस की सवारी करने की इच्छा को समझाया। हालाँकि, उसकी यात्रा पर एक दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण घटना ने उसे जीवन और मृत्यु का अर्थ सिखाया।
