 I'm not even a stand-up comedian, okay? I'll just get it right. I am not up on the stage by choice. No, I'm not up on stage by choice. I mean circumstances have forced me up on this stage. I make websites for my living. That's funny enough. And my job is under thread by the app market. No one wants websites. Everyone wants apps. And I think apps were like, these things started off with what initially we had what apps to send emails, chats, right? Then e-commerce players came in and they want apps to deliver things. You have hyper-local delivery, right? You want dinner, you'll press something on the app and the food will come to you, right? And all these startups have started shutting down their websites. Now, any startup founder here who can cheer me up? Oh, someone still has their website. I'm not being hired by you guys. Anyways, yeah, so I am a little depressed. I don't think my future is too bright. And I tried to look for an alternate career. Not really. So, you know, this app market has actually, I went into research. I like, what can I actually take up? If app market has come in, apps have come in and my job is going away, there has to be some new job that is created, right? And once I looked into it, I realized that with the app, with people coming and delivering things here at home, I mean, future is, I think, in very close, very soon we'll have apps for a person coming to your home and picking your nose because you're too lazy to do that as well, right? But the thing, the two job career options that have risen out of apps is one is delivery boys, right? You need delivery boys to come and give you things. The other is you guys have too much time now, right? So you need entertainers. So my decision basically boiled down to deciding between either climbing up and down stairs or being paid in sandwiches. And a person of my waistline, you know, what would he would have chosen, right? Stairs is, I cannot do go up four floors, come down three floors, then there's another call, go up two floors, I cannot do that. So I decided to just give this a shot, right? So I'm doing this almost pretty much all the time. I have not done this before. So just cheer me up guys, yeah? Woo, thanks. So too much code has been happening today. I am sure you don't want to think about code. And I thought, let's just talk about buses, right? You know, I mean, if I'm going to lose my job, I might as well start choosing buses. Any buses here? Some people like about 10% people raise their hands. Can I have a cheer for them? Right? They are like the people who have discovered the second use of buses. Like the first one, obviously, you know, like those are large objects used for protests, right? So I mean, I am a Bengali. I know that you can use bus for an impactful agitation. And this really unites us as a nation, like north to southeast to west, there's not a single impactful agitation where a bus hasn't been torched, right? But then there are, I mean, I like buses, not to light them up, but to board them. Because if I go to a new city, I think I really get to understand the people who are living there up close and personal. In a bus, right? Really, you get, you get to know everything about what is the average public opinion on politics? What are the average things that are keeping them busy? What are the average problems they're facing in their lives? What's the average smell of their armpits? Everything you find out when you're in a tight bus, right? But in Bangalore, I very recently discovered BMTC, you know, BMTC, right? It's profitable. My first reaction was that, is that even, I mean, startups are not profitable these days. How is a public transport agency profitable? It made no sense to me because I come from Delhi, all right? In Delhi, I'm really proud of the fact that DTC is making losses every single day. I mean, really, I mean, I think they are winging it with the government every single time they'll go to the government. Like, look, we are doing a minus 15% profit year on year. And I think the government is just being, oh, profit. They don't answer a minus. They're just winging that. And now, about my leg, we'll talk about that later. This is, boarding buses with this is not a very good thing to do. I've been really fumbling around inside buses with this. But coming back to my thing that in Delhi, DTC is not making profits because in Delhi, you really don't need to buy tickets. You just need to know how to escape without buying tickets, right? So I was with a group of friends. I was the only guy. I mean, firstly, DTC is really making it helpful for us in, in, in DTC, the conductor sits at a designated spot. And if you want to buy tickets, you try to go through 500 people to the conductor and ask for it. You take the ticket. I was the, I was the only person who the ticket and the only way you can be caught without a ticket is there's something called there are ticket checkers to check whether you have a ticket or not. They call it the flying squad. And those folks are basically who are about to retire in a couple of years, right? They'll be waiting at the bus stop. And while you're getting off the bus, they'll ask for your ticket. So I was with my group of friends in the bus and, and we suddenly spot, spotted the flying squad car at the next bus stop. And my friends are like, okay, we don't have the ticket. You have got it. Give it to me. And I'm like, no, but I got the ticket so that I can escape it. He's like, don't worry, we'll make you escape it. And he starts the ticket for me. And the next thing that they do is the moment the bus opens, the guy with the ticket just runs, runs from the flying squad. He runs about 50 meters. And the guy and the, and the poor old fellow just catches, catches him and asks him, where's your ticket? And he just promptly shows the ticket to him. The guy's like, why did you run? He's like, where does the ticket say you can't run after buying it? And I don't have to tell you what we did, right? We were not there in the bus anymore by the time those, that guy that distracted him. But in, in like coming back to BMTC, BMTC being profitable, I think that is, that doesn't make much sense. Because so I think it's a scam. And I thought that I'll uncover it. So over the last months, I've been taking the BMTC buses a lot. And I figured out, and I've concluded that BMTC is profitable by something what I call as keeping the change. I'll tell you what happened. It's a very simple thing. Like you are in the bus, you don't know much, you're there. And this, this ticket fellow will come tickets. The first thing that my reaction is as a deliite is run. But then second thought is, I have to do my research, right? How is this profitable? So I stand there. And I said, Bhaiya, Richmond Road, Janai, we'll go 17 rupees. So I take out my purse. I took, I took out a 50 rupee note and I gave it to him. And he looks straight in my eyes and says seven rupees change. And his look was so convincing that I thought I at the wrong side, because if you think of it, seven rupees, isn't three rupees supposed to be the change? So, uh, and I, I'm, I'm, I'm like, sorry sir. I just shake my head and that guy gives me a smile. He's like senses and opportunities. Like this is the answer I've been waiting for the last 300 milliseconds. And the next thing that he does completely throws me off. Okay. What he does is takes my 50 bucks, takes his bag, puts the 50 bucks inside and then shakes it twice. And you can hear the 3000 coins in his bag and he takes out 30 rupees and gives me 30 rupees back. And I says, sir, three rupees. And he's like, uh, holding, holding is gone. And I'm holding onto the ticket that, okay, I'm going to ask for this three rupees later. Right. I'm still doing my ride. I'm still figuring out, I'm, uh, I'm figuring out, I'm just up close and personal. As I said, I figured out that right now the average problem that Bangaloreans are facing is that their teammate has got a onsite opportunity before them. And I'm still doing my ride and suddenly my bus stop comes and in the flow of things, I get down and then I look at the ticket and I, yo, I've been robbed. And I think this is how BMTC is profitable right now. And I have never, uh, I mean, I've never experienced in Delhi, right? No tickets. You don't have to really take one. I've got one more small story. Do you want to listen to it? Uh, yes. Okay. So, uh, in, uh, if you're in Delhi, uh, I would really recommend you to, uh, sit next to the conductors. The conductors have a seat and there's a seat next to it and just those, those guys are really sincere people. They really, uh, do their job well. They're not expected to, uh, really, uh, keep a check on whether you have a ticket or not. But, uh, if you, if you're in Delhi and if you, if you take a daily pass, right? If you, uh, the, the daily pass system in Delhi works like this, uh, the guy has to ask your name and your age and he'll put that down on the pass and why I'm doing it to you just to make sure that you're not giving your pass to someone else. So this guy who is like a pretty young looking guy, uh, he comes, comes to the ticket conductor. I'm sitting next to the conductor and the guy said, uh, a pass dinner. And the guy says, okay, tell your name. He tells his name, Vikram, right? Umar. He's like, but this, but this is 32. And he didn't write it. He just looked back. He left guy looks too younger and this guy wants to do, do his job very sincerely. He has to check his age. That guy goes like, yes, it's for me. He's not convinced that that guy's 32. Now this guy is like, I think there's something about, uh, people in India, they're really proud of the fact that they're married. Probably once they're married, I don't know, but this guy is very happy. Yes. Like he's now he's also in the mode of proving that he is 32. Yes. Next question is flat out. He can, he makes the pass and gives it to him. That's all I have guys. Thanks. Thanks a lot for listening to me. Uh, uh, before I get down, I have a small appeal to make. Uh, I am, uh, I'm running the Airtel deli marathon, uh, half marathon, uh, in a, uh, couple of months and I'm raising funds for, uh, doctors without borders. If any of you are interested in donating to doctors without borders, please catch hold of me. I am in, I'm the guy with the big mustache on my t-shirt, right? Thanks. Thanks a lot.
