something to be thankful for

uff! i was stupid enough to board the second class compartment for men on a borivili slow last night. OMG! i had to get down at goregaon, but the crush was just SO bad, i just stayed on the train till the last station.

on getting down, the crush continued. all the way down the platform, till the exit, and i found myself in a thick crowd of men after a really long time.

and glory be! no one pawed, no one grabbed! if this had happened in cochin, I'd have been too depressed for words today (no, it's unlikely I would have turned around, and kicked/screamed/punched the first random male behind me- and besides, even if I had, I'd still be depressed today)

anyhoo, back to ystdy. I don't praise this city much, or often. mostly I think the praise heaped on it is unjustified, silly and usually misses the truth by miles. a lot of stuff really sucks about mumbai. but, when it comes to being a lone woman needing to travel at pretty much any time of day- i can't praise it enough.

no songs on my mind this morning, there usually is some random, usually bawdy/bad tune i wake up with. been listening to some songs by Foals and CSS, like is in the air.

the peeflex is a lonely child

came up with a new word in the shower some days back.

–noun
1. Physiology.
a. Also called Peeflex act, urination caused by a reflex response.

In the words of Charlie Brown- "Good Grief!"

I just forgot I was one of a two! Lol.

I was just speaking with my boyfriend about what he was upto today. He said he had meeting 1, then meeting 2, and then wanted to meet his girlfriend. And for 3 seconds I was like, "Oh, ok. he's got other plans."

Oh Lord, save me from me!

P.S: question: when does one use ' and when does one use "?
