  • After Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Station erupted into a carefully choreographed dance number by a motley crew of youngsters on November 27, Delhi will have its own flash mob experience on Saturday, December 3.

    Through this photo gallery, we take a look at the practice pictures of Delhi's flash mob.
  • 20-year-old engineering student, Ayush, and a band of fellow students who have organized themselves into an event management company called Cabbageheads are gathering a group of volunteers into a flash mob who will gather on Saturday at a South Delhi mall and break into seemingly impromptu dance. They say they have the permission required from the mall authorities.
  • Because part of the fun of a flash mob lies in surprise, Ayush won't share more details of the location.

    The group will dance to a mix of Bollywood and English numbers, including the title track to Delhi-6. Between 40 and 50 people have signed up to be part of the flash mob, aged between 17 and 30.
  • Ayush says he started planning the event a month and a half ago, making the first announcement for it on October 18. Publicity has been through a Facebook page.
  • Two hundred dancers took commuters at Mumbai's hectic Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station by surprise last Sunday, when they broke into dance accompanied by the title track from Bollywood hit Rang de Basanti.
  • The Mumbai Flash Mob, as it was dubbed, threatened to become a viral phenomenon in India by Tuesday evening, as videos of the performance rocketed through the Twitter universe, were posted on Facebook and liked on YouTube.
  • While so-called flash mobs have been popular in the United States and Europe for years, the phenomenon has not really caught on in India. That may be about to change, judging by the amount of attention the video has garnered. A video of the dancing, put up on YouTube early Tuesday morning, had already been "liked" by 1,435 people by 6:30 in the evening.
