…scribbles…

I walk out of the station and see people running around me. Some running to catch the leaving train, many running in the opposite side, to reach the office in time. I join the majority….walking briskly to my Kaisha.

The crowd fall in two orderly lines. One walking fast …and the other faster.

As I fall in the faster lane… I keep my eyes on the back of the person in front of me. I do not look at the ground, for I know there is nothing on which I can stumble on. There is nothing to look ahead of, for I know most of the people are going to the same place.

There is a gap in the file…some people ahead. He runs to fill in…may be he is in a hurry…or may be he does not want to be the cause of inconvenience to the people behind him…since he is in the faster lane….!!

The gap is moving backwards, the person directly ahead is not in so much a hurry to warrant a small jog to fill the gap (and there by passing the gap to me). He looks to his left,  and over his shoulder. And then he changes his lane to the slower one. I have the gap in front of me… yet there is none on the slower side. I walk even faster. Moving ahead of people walking on my left. Until I reach a small gap on my left.

I look over my shoulder…to see that people are directly behind me…I see to my left, there is a gap. Then like a car, I move to the slower lane. Passing the gap to the person behind me…who immediately runs and fills it up. Yes, he looks like he is in a hurry.  I need not bother. I have another back to follow, another footsteps to keep track off. The wind is blowing on my left cheek. There is no gap to fill….

I walk my walk to office… and the order around me is Maddening !!
