Do you love to read? I am one who always carry a book in my handbag for fear of being held waiting at the traffic light, delayed appointment, food order during lunch or worst, traffic jam.
A writer and freelance host who goes by the name of Zain H.D., recently organised a flash mob as part of his ongoing Read While Waiting Project (RWP).
But what happens at a flash mob event? Basically, it’s a bunch of strangers gathering in a public place, behaving in a pre-determined – often attention-grabbing – manner for a short period of time, and then dispersing. The mobs are usually organised online or via text messaging, and a successful flash mob depends very much on the element of surprise.
The idea for his RWP flash mob was to make people aware that everyone should read while waiting. Whether it is for the bus that takes forever to arrive, the once-again delayed train, or the inching cinema queue, you can whip out that book from your bag and bury your nose in it.

The above photo was shot in Melaka. I have Photoshop-ed it to create this fading, old effect.
