I routinely visit shopping malls, restaurants, and theatres where there are large crowds of people. I like spending time in such places with my family or friends as they give a sense of happening and I personally like the hustle and bustle.
I have visited a street market in Delhi last month when I was touring the city for a few days. The market is called Connaught place which is widely famous across the country for its cheap and durable products. I wanted to go there since years when I first heard that it sells books at a relatively cheaper rate. My best friend, Jane, who lives there, invited me over for her birthday party and took me out to see various attractions of the city later the week I stayed there. I am a voracious reader and I always told her how I wanted to buy a ton of books from that market to add to my mini library. I really did buy a lot of books, 15 to be precise, from multiple stalls in the market.
The market did not only have books but also many other things like jewellery, handbags, clothing including fashion from international brands available at reasonable prices. I usually like going out to buy jewellery and I did not hesitate to purchase a whole lot of it from there. I utterly loved the market and bought a bunch of products that I did not even think I needed. It was a fun experience as I got to spend time shopping with my friend.

Part 3 Follow Up - Questions & Answers
1. Can there be a totally quiet location?
Cities are generally happening and clamoured but there are some places like libraries and monasteries that are certainly quiet. Moreover, places in countryside and hilly regions are very quiet compared to cities. Cold places like Antarctica are best known for their quietness where people often like to go for an adventurous holiday.
2. Would you like to visit the areas where there are numerous people?
It mostly depends on my mood and preferences where I want to go to. I get along well with people and like to socialise by catching up with friends during weekends. I often visit malls, cinemas and street markets which are highly crowded to buy essentials or just to pass time.
3. Do you like the places with large space?
Yes, I like large areas that have plenty of room to roam around comfortably because smaller areas make me feel claustrophobic and breathless. Large areas allow me to have my own space even in a social setting where people socialise and organise events.
4. What do you believe is the most significant matter of a public occasion?
In today’s world, safety comes first in a public occasion as many things can take a bad turn if not taken care of properly. Safety precautions should be maintained in crowded places along with disaster plans. In additions, there should be facilities in place implemented by the management to handle any kind of emergency situation.
5. What kind of places do people want to go to when they want to be alone?
When people like to be alone, they visit libraries, monasteries or temples. These kinds of places give out calm and serene vibes necessary to have some peaceful time. Some also prefer going on a solo trip to locations far away or for trekking. These activities promote having fun with our own self while making a getaway.
