It was about 8:45 pm, and I was waiting for a bus after 12 hours in college. As usual, the bus was running late. The whole bus stop was vacant, with only three girls and two boys, excluding me. The boys in the group were chattering, and the girls stood whispering. I stood beside the group for about half an hour and was exhausted from carrying the heavy bag, which held a big, fat organic chemistry book. I went back and sat on the only bench.
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, came a man wearing a saffron-coloured dhoti with three horizontal lines on his forehead, signifying a Shiva follower. He was naked except for a chain which had Rudrakshas. He had a turban of the same saffron colour. He was dancing, paying no attention to his surroundings. Girls who were near the bus stop started giggling, looking at him. I looked intently but got nothing but a man dancing foolishly.
