I live in a crowded locality of the area and the crowd presents the scene of “a human sea” in the evening. People return from the offices and students are back from their schools. Housewives come out to purchase vegetables, fruits and other domestic items. Young boys and girls dress themselves in their best and go out shopping.
The confectioner’s shop is another place of attraction. Children force their parents to buy sweets and chocolates of their choice. The girls always go to the snacks corner where the boys prefer some cold drink and wafers. The street hawkers pedal their wares very nicely. The balloons too attract small children. The toy sellers set their stalls on the pavements. The newspaper vendors sell evening newspapers in a very nice manner. They shout out the sensational news because of which many persons get attracted to the mystery of the news.
The whole atmosphere is spoilt by the beggars and the cows. The beggars use every technique to win the sympathy of the ladies. They apply different colours to their bodies. Some of them are dressed in rags and many of them are handicapped.
