While the sweat and even probably the smell symbolise hard work, the commuting vendors symbolise microeconomic activity. These music-lovers, in their quest to enjoy music, make the otherwise enjoyable train travel miserable for others. These bag-wearing friends, unmindful of the infringement added to their normal body dimensions, turn around often, to hit people standing nearby. At such moments I wish that all mobile phones be deprived of the music playing facility. At such moments, I wish the newspapers also be printed to the size of weekly magazines.
