Why and how he identified me when I could not remember him
Nowadays everyone has some kind of identity document which is the one used for identifying us at various contexts. Each one of us has a name may be one official and one or more pet names or nick names. In real life we are known, identified and addressed by one of these names.In practical life we are identified in other ways also. But there are other situations when we are identified by some other qualitative or quantitative identities. A Police Constable may be identified by his PC no (as shown in many movies PC 123 etc.), a jail inmate is identified by his 'Kaidhy number", an advocate's client may be identified by the case no (201/2023) etc.
But with all these around we identify people by their face, dress, and way of walking and talking, body structure etc. and by any unique characteristic we noticed in them.
The other day morning, travelled in a State Transport bus to a nearby town of about half an hour journey. The bus was coming from another town and was a fast passenger bus. A few more people also boarded the bus from the place where I boarded. After alighting at destination, I carried on with my work there, shopping and had my lunch also in a hotel in that town. Then I came back to bus depot.
There after waiting bit I saw a bus waiting to start. But the destination board did not have the name of my town and so I was in doubt. I went near the bus and was asking the driver whether it will go via my place.
By then the conductor came and told m i will go and added 'you came by this bus only in the morning". I was surprised. I could not remember him, but how he remembered me? I would like your opinion and guess in this.
