We spend lot of time waiting for train, bus and other transportation for reaching our college or office. How we can manage that waiting time positively? Do you have any suggestion ?

I'm a psychologist, so I watch the people around me. Sometimes I think of things I'll talk about in class or write about later.

That makes us engaged. We can utilise that time for understanding and observing the world around us.

Download something from the internet and learn. for example language learning course or some other course. and then slowly learn things along the way.

I take a book with me, sometimes I read, sometimes I simply look at the people around me.

@rashmiravishibu I like to observe people, I have noticed how different they can be from country to country, it is interesting.

Looking and observing people teaches us a lot of things

If you are an introvert, put on those headphones, listen to music while you read a book, or get busy in the online world. If you are extrovert, you can start a conversation with the person next to you. Find out their insights on today's life, their likes, dislikes. At worst, no one talks to you. At best, you have made a new friend.

I think becoming an extrovert is good

@rashmiravishibu Being a 80% introvert myself, I know what you mean. :) I wish I could be more out-going and spontaneous, act more like an extrovert and be comfortable that way. But, what I meant was, we all can strike up conversations with our fellow passengers. Just a smile will do for starters. :) Let me see if I take my own advice the next time I find myself idling in the bus station. Every journey might have a chance of being different if we all start doing this.
