It was all fine till this morning, i as usual left for my college, it was a normal day. It was while i was returning home that i came to know, all the traffic has been shut down. I dont know why. I was tens of kilometers away from home and how was i to get home? It was not just me. Other people might be further than me from their home. What are they supposed to do? I was totally distressed, angry and upset. I had many things to do at home. There is no way, i get my works done at time? Even if i walk home, how can i expect my body to work after such a long and tiring walk. I was helpless, i wanted to cry! Please dont do this to me! But i could not even cry.
I waited crammed inside a crowded bus among all the sweating people in intense heat for more than an hour, before the traffic opened and my bus slowly started to move.
It was only a couple of hours of torture but believe me, it left me totally exhausted and i could not think of working at home. I was so upset and mentally, i was tired, i was frustrated. There was no obvious reason of the sudden bandh, but why do i pay for something i have not done? I can imagine, the bandh must have been to protest for some crime or unjustice someone did. But why are we innocent to suffer? Why do people not understand that its not the right way to protest? I just cant understand. Now, i have no thing in my mind but my USMLE. Oh god, when am i going to get my USMLE and fly away from this hell! Dr. Suvash Shrestha, Intern
