A scene at a bus stop

-

A bus stop hums with life and activity. At peak hours there is a mad rush. School and college students, office goers and others jostle with each other to get into the buses.

All sorts of people can be seen at a bus stop. Some are impatient and look at their watches at every other second, other are worried and fret. But there are some who wait patiently. They even smile at others. Students stand in groups and talk.

It presents an opportunit­y to watch human nature. At most of the stops people try to stand in queues but as soon as a bus comes in, the queue breaks. Everyone just pushes and jostles. There is a lot of confusion then.

At peak hours people try to board a bus whether there is any space in it or not.

Travelling on footboards is very common. It is very dangerous. But it does not deter any one. Pick-pockets have their day at such hours.
