Divider

On the periphery of a small cluster, on one side is a main road and on the other perpendicular side is an internal road with constant vehicular movement. There are some shops/warehouses that buy and sell second hand furniture at the corner of the internal road. People living in the cluster and other familiar passer-by often pause near the shops where the shop owners are seen sitting on a piece of furniture they store on the street edge. 
On one side there are four to seven-storied buildings with a clear boundary wall, sometimes a shop or an office on the ground level that faces the street. On the other side of the road are the second hand furniture shops behind which is a small cluster of informal houses. During morning and late evenings, some people from the cluster and shops are found seated on the divider that divides the road from between because vehicles passing by produce sound at various intensities and resulting gush of wind every now and then, it thus acts as a screen for these people to disappear. The divider has a humanized scale as to which, one can easily climb over it and cross the road from one side to another. Between this linear, long partition, there are patches of plantations to avoid the crossing as well as to ease driving during nights. People from almost all age groups but aligning to a specific class are found resting or meeting in between this partition of a road. Either they use it like a bench to sit or they sit on the soil between the divider. The gaze of moving cars and people around which consider these spaces to be normative, allows such space to happen in between which for some people it becomes an extension to their house.
