New York, New York

The 'phenomena' you see in the picture - Times Square, a major intersection in Manhattan, NY.

So people put up chairs in the middle of the road and just chill. My first time at Times Square, I'm not sure what to look out for. I start wondering if somethings going to happen...a parade, a match on the screen, maybe someone famous is going to pass by. Nothing.

I conclude = they're sitting in the middle of the road, checking out...nothing.

Colourful billboards, Broadway theaters, hundreds of people walking past. I guess people find the colours and animated billboards spectacular..........but for a minute if you just think about them as hoards of shiny ads, the people there staring at them really start looking retard. (This hopefully justifies my expression in the picture).

Maybe having lived in Bombay does this to you - crowds don't fascinate you anymore, traffic becomes routine, colours in every form (people and surroundings) have already consumed you long ago.

Times Square - fascinating for many, bizarre for me.
