all the people in the world

First days at schools or classes turn most people into a nervous wreck. Not me. I have lots of fun "people watching”. Its interesting observing the different kinds of people. I try not to judge by appearance, but its so hard not to. Here are some of the usual categories

1. The bunch of short skirts and cleavage(well whatever little they have) showing top wearing girls. You know the kinds who carry those bags big enough to kidnap babies in. Wear only branded clothes. They ones who greet each other with high pitched and absolutely fake "hiiiiiiii" often accompanied by a put on accent. These girls talk only those who look like them.

2. Some genuinely sweet girls who actually smile at you and try to make friends. This is a very rare species. And these are not to be mistaken for those who find out your name and school only so that they can either make fun of you/your school or talk about the same behind your back.

3. The ones who are already pouring over their books. Either preparing for class or (god forbid) revising what they've already prepared. They are mostly bespectacled; hair oiled and combed, ‘wearing what their mom asked them to’ kinds. These are better to be left on their own . Try to make conversation and you are most likely to get told off for 'wasting' their time.


4. The phone or i-pod junkies who are perpetually texting or talking to someone. They will often be so absorbed in their activity that they won't even realise it when class begins and sometimes even ends. They are the ones who are better off in their bedroom.

5. The spiked hair, football jersey wearing guys. They'll walk in few minutes after class begins and will stride around like they've entered the locker room after a match, directly head to the last bench and put on a bored expression that'll be the only one you see throughout the class.

And there are some who can be put into the miscellaneous category. Polite ones, the cursers(at a rate of 5 curse words per sentence or more), the dreamers, the flirts, the show-offs, those who wear black everyday and the list just goes on.

Oh I forgot one kind. The kind who sit in the last bench, look at everyone around and furiously scribble into their notebooks only so that they can write a blog entry about it later.
No prizes for guessing which category I belong to....
