Observing the Observer

With God’s grace, I don’t have to travel in the local train. So, whenever I do, I enjoy the loud noise, the crowd, the rude vendors, the fights along with the bad words, the sudden blackout that happens at andheri, fast train becoming slow and a list of other things.  I like to watch peoples reaction. The way they show their distress. The way they keep themselves amused. It is all fun for me.

Recently, I was looking at this small kid who was busy looking outside the window. The train has stopped somewhere for the past 5-6 minutes and everyone was getting restless. I wondered what was so interesting and I realized that she was counting the floors of this super tall building. She would forget where she was and start again. It was so cute to watch her like this. I think I was smiling, I don’t know the reaction of my face but it must be worth watching because I saw some lady pointing to her friend to look at this crazy lady(me) when the whole train is trying to figure out the reason for the train to stop. I realized that I don’t just watch other people, I also react and these reactions could be worth watching 😛
