One guy who sits beside me is busy in playing an action game in his Tab, another one engaged in texting and a girl browsing very seriously. Shopping malls, restaurants, bus stops and what not? These scenes are very common where ever you go.

A few days later I went to hospital to meet my friend Suresh who is an orthopedician. But I was surprised that so many youngsters are awaiting his appointment.
