Amidst the madding crowd.

Watching the people in the crowd has its own charm, more so, of a witty manner. Watching the peculiar actions and the ways people behave in the crowd can be quite an amusing experience, some are of the type who think nobody is paying heed to what they are doing , while others are overtly conscious and their each and every act is governed by their philosphy that they are under constant and cruel scrutiny by the people around them, and then there are another altogether different and special breed of people who have to show-off, attract attention of people around them.

Most favourable places for watching people in their acts are bus stops, train stations, or a crowded market, basically every place where people gather for sometime and have some time to kill, or where people are sitting, waiting or standing aimlessly.

Talking of the first category, people who think nobody is paying attention to what they are doing such people might almost contribute a-third of the said, (well no official-stats but a guesstimate) these people are most likely seen picking their nose in a really wild and savage manner as if they have just found an enormous bulk of mucus which they had been hunting for, from a long time in that cavity and if they would not execute this task now, their prey might again be lost into infinity, and hence the urge to pick it out is so strong they almost loose the crowd around them and have a few fits of orgasm , each time their drive is successful.The other common act you can witness is people rubbing their groins through their pants in public, of course as if nobody ever saw them doing it, even if somebody did, for them it was just a gesture of giving themselves an itsy-bitsy pleasure and itch at the same time, and their vox populi would immediately consent to the fact that nobody from the public would ever mind such a tiny gesture of self-pleasure.

The second kinds ,they might not be the most interesting people in what they do, but it could be interesting to predict what they might do next, for example a very conscious girl who just walks up to a bus-stop would not look into anybody's eyes, may be just walk up to the billboard which might display the schedules of buses and their routes, this might not sound interesting to most of us, what's interesting is what she is likely to do after she has scanned the timings, fares, routes for the n-th time and finally she decides she has spent too much time scanning the info, and she better find something else to do to keep herself busy and, she most likely would walk a little backwards from the board only to step on somebody's foot, or drop the drink or her purse that she was carrying, close to some garbage neatly kept aside.

The least interesting people among these are those who decide to dedicate themselves to the entertainment of the people around them, and since everything they do is predictable and repeatable, they are monotonous and hence not too interesting to somebody who would be wishing to watch some unpredictability and a little more amateur disposition. They are most likely to talk loudly on mobile phones , laugh loudly , make sudden 360 degree turns and stand in postures that are likely to protrude their body parts which they think look awesome on them and are likely to catch people's attention. They might even show strong and sudden emotions on their face like that of disappointment or happiness to make sure they are constantly being noticed by the poor people who only watch in dismay as if some creature absconded from the city zoo.
