People watching


I like to watch people when I am in a crowded place. Frankly, I don't like crowded places, so people-watching is my way of getting away from the crowd. I am in my own shell when I watch people. Some people (some of my friends too) probably think I'm a pervert. But that’s not the case. In fact, I don't even judge people.


There was this time in Ooty, Tamil Nadu, India, I was sitting on a park bench and watching people go by. My mind filtered out couples from the crowd somehow. While I was watching people, I just noticed how newly married (or unmarried) couples were walking hand in hand, cuddling some times. They showed love to each other. Then there was this different sect of couples with kids with them. They were just too busy taking care of their children running around them in circles for I don't know what reason! These guys just didn't have the time for each other. And then there were these middle-aged and all older couples. They just walked around keeping some distance from each other. After all this, I just thought "Hmm :-/", talked about this to my friends and moved on.


What’s the point in writing all this? Well, it’s been a while since I updated my blog. So I thought, "Why not write what I keep doing?"... People watching.
