University of Trotro

I can’t explain it, but I am just really a trotro/mass transit person. I truly understand it is not for everyone. A lot of really nice things can happen on trotro. I will share some of those with you. 

A lot of conversations happen on trotro, some I am well equipped to make meaningful contributions, others not so much. The fun part about starting my day is that, I never know what conversation I am going to encounter on my trip. One time, I chanced on a conversation between two friends. One was recounting his previous night’s sexual adventures. That always makes for fantastic listening (or eavesdropping if you prefer) – what can I say, I like kokonsa. They continued talking, and I listened, smiling to myself. Clearly, the guy was trying to impress his friend about his prowess. I am convinced he added more to the story than what actually happened. But since I wasn’t there, I had no contradictory evidence. Well, actually it wasn’t any of my business, I was eavesdropping anyway. That is trotro for you, you just never know what you will hear! 

Take another time I sat next to this drunk guy. I guess I must have looked like I needed a conversation, so he decided to initiate one. It started with my destination, then covered a wide range of topics. Some how, when I said my undergrad degree was in Psychology, he somehow got excited. I got excited too because it appeared we had some share interest. He proceeded to ask if I knew there were two dimensions to concept of time? All the neurons in my brain started firing at speeds not even triggered when I was writing exams. I humbly told him that particular topic was outside of my cognitive abilities. No matter, he proceeded to explain the two concepts of time. Did I mention he was drunk? Regrettably, I am not able to recount the details of the explanations. It was too technical for me. But I do know that he mentioned something about space and metaphysical. By the time I was getting off, he and I had been friends for at least the duration of our trip. I have not seen him again, but I hope I do. That is trotro for you, you just never know who you will meet.

Sometimes the universe rewards my persistence in taking trotro. There are times the only available seat is one next to me and a gorgeous lady with all the right dimensions sits next to me. That always makes for a fun ride. No matter how heavy the traffic, my commute always ends up feeling like a short trip. The conversations can be so riveting that I decide to skip my stop if the lady is going farther. Has anything ever come out of such encounters? Why don’t I tell you about my “Trotro Tryst” next time, after all - That is trotro for you, you just never know what you will feel!
