FORMATION OF INFORMAL GROUPS
There are lot of sessions, games & classes being conducted in Cubbon Park, ranging from singing, yoga, pottery, aerobics, simple board games etc. While analysing the park during different dates and timings I came up with various observations.
In terms of sight I noticed that on weekdays there were not many classes being conducted besides yoga & aerobics which is supposed to be practiced regularly to keep healthy
On weekends I observed that there were a lot more classes being conducted for different age groups. This could be because during the week most people are busy and on weekends they like to use the free time to gain skills.
I also observed that the park has a lot of elderly people on weekdays as well as weekends. This is probably because by that time and age they might have retired from their jobs and it’s their time to enjoy some Peace & Solitude in the beauty of the park. In terms of sound I observed that it was not very noisy (In terms of peoples chitter-chatter, singing etc) during weekdays because there are not many informal groups and classes in the park premises. However, during weekends the place is brimming with life, movement and people so there is collective sound of vehicles, kids laughing, singing etc. In terms of smell, I observed that on weekdays there is a catchy smell of various delicious eatables in the air. These included chats, corn, cotton candy, tea and my personal favourite coffee. The taste of these “street delicacies” just made my day.
Compared to weekends there was not a very strong smell of the street food. Instead the smell of nature overpowered this smell. I figure this is because the street vendors recognise that their presence on weekends will not be very profitable. I made a pretty unfortunate observation that when a lot of people were present at the park (weekends) there was also the smell of trash which was scattered around & on weekdays when there were not many people the trash being spread around was minimal.
