A walk back home

We all know how unbearable the mumbai heat is right now.Travelling has become all the more horrid in this weather.To top this yesterday my all time friends in need-"the autorickshaws"decided to go off the roads.But this didnt mean my classes would declare a holiday so i had to actually reach them without my fav three wheeler machines.Reaching wasnt a problem as i got a friend to drop me off on his bike..ofcourse cruising through mumbai roads at 2'o clock in the afternoon on a vehicle without an overhead shelter is like one of the worst things you can do to yourself.Anyways the airconditioning in my classroom managed to soothe my half burnt skin.Yday i realised good things happening at a bad timing is as good as a bad thing happening.My classes gave us a chutti at 6 pm after just 2 lectures instead of the normal 8 pm time.All mumbaikars know that this time is the worst to travel in a public transport.So taking a bus back home was not even an option.So my whole gang of around 20 people who had to reach the railway station started the journey on foot.I have known these people for 2 months now.But a walk with them made me a lot more aware of their various personalities.There were those who remained at the rear end of the group throughout the 1 hr walk.Obviously these guys are the ones who never believe in leading the gang and are comfortable observing the whole world from their end.Opposite to these were the ones who always were at the forefront no matter what happened-the proactive ones i guess.There were 2-3 ones who tried their best to mingle with each and everyone in the whole group.They sometimes hung out at the end....then made their way right at the front and then joked around with the ones in the middle consciously trying to spend time with everyone-the ultra friendly and extroverts maybe?!There were some who inspite of being with their friends thought it was a good time to call up someone on their mobile and few who thought listening to their ipods was a better option thatn talking to humans around-lonely hearts?!.And then were the ones who walked at their own pace not bothering about who was next to them and as required moulded themselves according to the kind of people surrounding them at a given point.-peps who live life on their own terms despite the situations?!....also there were also some gurls who stuck to their best pal throughout-definite introverts and conventionalists.
Which category did i fit into?! ahaaaaa...now thats sumthing to chew on......heehee...
