Reading
Life in the city is bustling. Early in the morning, hundreds of people rush out of their homes in the manner ants do when their nest is broken. Soon the streets are full of traffic. Shops and offices open, students flock to their schools and the working day begins. The city now throbs with activity, and it is full of noise and exhausts.
Hundreds of sight-seers, tourists and others visit many places of interest in the city while businessmen from various parts of the world arrive to transact business. Then towards evening, the offices and day schools begin to close and many shops do as well. There is now a rush for buses and other means of transport. Everyone seems to be in a hurry to reach home. As a result of this hurry, many unintentional accidents occur. The city could, therefore, be described as a place of ceaseless activity. Here, the drama of life is enacted every day.
