The jump from the running bus

I remember the difficult days during my schooling. My father was the sole earning member in a private company. And they did not pay high salary. (But now I am earning quite a lot, courtesy the PSU. And I am extremely smart in finance handling. I like travelling on the razors edge, so to say.
I have an American mindset and I pay the price of a pumpkin for a pumpkin).
During school days, we would go to school by DTC bus.
One day while coming back from school, I missed my stop and had to jump from the running bus. I had read the Perelman book on Physics and jumped in a direction opposite to the running direction. I fell down nastily and got bruises. I thought Perelman was wrong.
But now I feel I have the ability in my body to prove Perelman is right. You can jump from a running bus in the direction opposite to its running and can land without falling. It requires practice of course. Good food and regular gymnasium should prepare one for this exercise.
