What it is?
How long have you had it for?
Why you cannot live without it?
Explain how you felt when you were without it?

Introduction:

• I think there are very few things in life which I cannot live without.

What it is?

• But the one thing, which I would really miss is my two-wheeler, Activa.
• It’s my main mode of conveyance.
• I live in the suburbs of Phagwara and for most necessities, I have to travel to the city.
• For example, there is a small grocery shop near my home, but it has limited variety.
• Even my college is the city and its the only mode of travel for me now.
• Before the pandemic, there was a regular bus service to the city.
• But, due to the lockdowns and the hesitation to travel by public transportation, the bus service is far less regular.
• In fact, earlier there used to be bus to the city every half an hour, but now there is one every two hours.
• Moreover, buses make more stops nowadays, so travelling takes considerably longer as well.
• On my two-wheeler it takes me 15 minutes, while it takes 40 minutes by bus.
• And going to the city by bus is still fine but coming back is very challenging.
• When going I can wait in the comfort of my home, but while coming back, I have to wait at the bus stop.
• I would really feel handicapped without my two-wheeler.
• I have faced this situation where I had to live without it and it was one of the worst days of this year.

How long have you had it for?

• A month back two-wheeler broke down and the service centre was out of faulty part.
• Due to this, it took a whole week for it get repaired.

Why you cannot live without it? and how you felt when you were without it?

• I couldn’t do anything that week.
• The first day, my friend gave me a lift on his car and another friend dropped me back home.
• But I felt awkward asking them again.
• I tried the bus for the first and last time after the lockdown on the second day.
• It was such a horrible experience, I thought it was better to stay home all day long than to travel by bus.
• It also brought about a new-found appreciation in me for those who travel by bus daily.

Conclusion:

• I hope the government really does something about the buses soon, but till that time, no-one can part me from my Activa.
