Observations.

The air conditioner in my office is probably set to freezing point as it is horribly cold. What’s worse is that people sitting inside this office are not allowed to change the temperature – we have to ask someone else who’s not sitting in this office for permission to turn the thing up. Strange.

Just now as I was going out for lunch, there were a few policemen and traffic warden standing at the crossing. The pedestrian light was red, so I stood by the roadside waiting for it to turn green. Then at this point of time, a woman who is apparently delivering food crossed the road (with the light being red). The policeman on the other side of the road did not stop her, but as she came to the other side (the side that I was on), the traffic wardens stopped her and said that she did not obey traffic rules, and insisted on taking down her particulars. I didn’t know what happened after that, but that set me thinking about a few things:

1. Why did the woman still choose to cross the road when the policemen and traffic wardens were all standing by the crossing?

2. Why didn’t the policemen on the other side of the road stop her while she was trying to cross the road?

These are probably questions that only the few of them can answer. But it’s still interesting.
