Answers
The noise of cars and taxis hooting, or of scooters, flying past is deafening. Anyone who stops by to watch the scene is amazed at the number of vehicles zooming past or crawling along when caught at the traffic lights.
The people, mainly lady shoppers with children, line the street as they await an opportunity to cross the road. It is a bright and gay scene. The main attraction is the variety of textile shops, departmental stores, the Selangor Emporium, carpet shops, restaurants, jewellers or electrical goods shops, pavement stalls with small items like costume jewellery, toys and aluminium cooking utensils and vendors attracting customers to buy their wares.
In the hustle and bustle, one can savour the delicious aroma of Oriental delicacies floating in the air. It comes from 'Nasi Beriyani', 'Satay', pungent curries, fried chicken and sweet meats, tempting passers-by to stop for some refreshment.
In the afternoon, the crowds grow bigger as office workers join the throngs of people. Now it is also time to go home. Taxis are in great demand while shoppers queue up to get one. Most of the taxis have already been hired and so they do not stop to pick up passengers, much to the frustration of the shoppers.
The crowds gradually disappear as evening approaches and darkness begins to creep in but they grow steadily again as the night market starts operating. Crowds swarm around for night snacks at the various food stalls and restaurants near the theatre or to pick up some good bargains. Now Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman is a sea of lights. It is indeed the liveliest street, busy all day long and into the night, in .the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the nation's capital.
Answer:
The scene of a busy street during a hot afternoon
Explanation:
I live in a populated neighbourhood, and the multitude on the top level creates the scene of "a people sea" in the evening. People have returned from work, and students have returned from school. Some people came out to buy fruits, vegetables, and other household goods. Young boys and girls put on their finest outfits and go shopping.
The vegetable market has the most people. Some folks shop from stall to stall, haggling over every item. They also keep a watch on the weighing scales to ensure that sellers do not under-weigh. The retailers have sweet tongues and use sweet language to woo their consumers.
Another interesting location is the confectioner's shop. Little kids drag their parents to the store and force them to buy the treats they want. The demand for chat pakoris, gulab jamuns, and jalabis is high. The street hawkers are particularly good at selling their items. To entice tiny children, balloon vendors carry large groups of inflated balloons. The toy vendors set up shop on the sidewalks. The evening newspapers are sold by newspaper vendors in a very pleasant manner. They shout the breaking news while keeping the paper folded.The customer is astonished to see changing headlines as soon as he makes the payment. Small children are incapable of controlling their games. They toss the ball and sprint to catch it. Applying brakes and saving oneself is quite tough for cyclists and scooterists. Another activity is kite flying. The eyes of the kite flier are hooked to the kite as it rises high in the sky. He is unconcerned about the throng and may damage himself.
Hindus revere cows and calves as sacred animals. They wander the streets, consuming everything and glaring fiercely at passers-by. They occasionally start locking horns in the street, causing a disturbance.
