Crowd Relationship

        Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.

It is difficult to define the crowd physically, when there is no shape no size and not any such constant metric, it is almost near abstract in nature, because crowd never follows any principle. A group of few, more or many things not necessarily are living or not. It is sophisticate in nature.

You move downtown lane and soon you unknowingly or unconsciously join a subset of society called crowd, which has no particular identity, but it has characteristic i.e. crowd is always dynamic in nature and has a flow, it shrinks and expands almost simultaneously. Crowd creates itself, serve him and drive itself and finally destroy itself. This makes a crowd interesting thing. No external force plays any role Inside a crowd, it creates its own energy which is a kind of incentive which attract people to join the crowd and there is no such thing as barrier who can prohibit you to join.it is so benign in nature that it always offers itself to others without any condition and demand in reverse.

Looking from a different perspective, Crowd possesses some unique quality, inspite of randomness in its basic structure it manage itself quite well. Anthropologist defined the humans, sociologist explained the human psychology then law makers made rule and imposed regulations so that it can manage the society well but still we can still say that no such entity achieved the success to the extent it was supposed to achieve however it is making the things more intricate. However a crowd undefined, unexplained and lawless achieved this success though for a momentarily period of time.

If you observe a crowd, you can see this sub society is very interesting. It possesses almost every emotion of human nature sadness, happiness, loneliness and many more. You see there is an ephemeral eye contact among the peoples inside a crowd, a transient physical contact which bothers no-one, a laugh on other’s face unreasonably makes you laugh. Strangers exchange the smiles without any cause, perhaps a mutual effect. This intra crowd behavior is facilitated by a desire to accept a sense of levity in mood. Till the time you are part of this crowd you are country less, creedless, casteless. Crowd everywhere in this world follows the same pattern. Which is perhaps in my opinion the universal behavior of crowd and which is cornerstone of the crowd and this makes is more embracing and accepted. 

The World today is divided in macro and micro levels by borders, caste, class, creed etc. And in such times when we see a crowd we envisioned how the world is rendering itself into a more difficult place to be inhabited. Why this whole world can’t be like a crowd?
