Love the fascinating Petrol smell ???
These days, the most we hate is the smoke coming from the pollution. There is lot of traffic, especially in cities like namma Bengaluru. Even though the smoke smell is horrible, some of them like the smell of petrol and kerosene. During my school days, even I used to like their smell.
I used to take the private van to school, since our school doesn't have their own vans or buses. After all the classes got over, me and my cousin, who travelled in the same van, would go to the back entrance of the school and wait for our van there. This guy used to make 2 trips- one at 330pm and other at 430pm. Our classes left at 4. So we had to take the 2nd trip. Everyday we used to wait for 15-20min at the back gate for our van to arrive. During this time, we used to do some stupid things.
There were many private vans and auto rickshaws there at the back gate to pick up other children. Among them, some were new autos and some old ones. For us, the smoke coming from the autos was very fascinating, especially from the older autos. I used to stand at one end of the road and my cousin at the other end. As soon as the auto starts, we used to run behind them just to know if the smoke had a good smell. In case one of them liked it, he would call the other and both of us would run behind that auto until we could run. After the auto moved far from us, we used to come back to the same place where we stood and wait for the next auto. In case we didn't like the smell, we used to look for another auto.
Those days we used to run for feeling the fascinating fragrance of the smoke coming out of those vehicles. But now, we hate to even go out in pollution. Even though these things sound stupid to us now, we never forget the stuffs we did in our school days.
