Random Travel Incidents

A long commute daily to work, meeting new faces, some wonderful and some frustrating characters. Just thought of scribbling some incidents.

Why do people wear sunglasses even when the train runs underground or in the tunnel??  Well I do too to avoid eye contact with strangers.

So this one day when I was on the train, freaking tired, settling to go to sleep for the next 1.5 hrs. I noticed this lady in the front staring at me like hell. And not once, twice or thrice, her damn eyes were scanning me. As I had my glares on, I could watch her but she couldn’t. Her gaze was making me so conscious that I couldn’t go to sleep. Huh! And the most weird thing, she was staring at my legs…WTF***.

I mean c’mon …why??? Did I not look like a human?? Or I had eight legs like an octopus.

The other weird incident today morning - 

I boarded the train, grabbed a seat.  I noticed this guy sitting in the front(back facing me) was watching p~o~r~n on his laptop. Yes, u heard it right. It gets very crowded in the morning hours so the seat next to me was quickly taken. This man next to me turned all red (not in anger). He had his ipod on and when I requested him to move out as I wanted to change my seat, he didn’t listen. He was BUSY. Well I made him notice my request and I changed my seat.

All my way I was wondering what an idiot and an over desperate was this guy to see such a film on a laptop in between 50 odd people. And he wasn’t any college student. He was a professional, at least from his dressing. Huh! And no words for this another gentleman who took the seat by my side and started enjoying the movie.

 Well interesting characters sure make up the interesting journey. Many more to come.

To My Darling Sister

It has been almost two weeks since I wrote a post. Life is super duper busy with too many things going at a time. But today is very special. Its my little baby sis birthday. And miss her and the birthday party ;-) Well so I celebrate it my way. Here it goes ----

!! A very happy birthday to my dear darling baby sister !!

Hey sis - I wrote that in blue your fav color


It has been more than a year since I have seen her and I miss her a lot – my little baby sis..muahh! I am here, working in California and she is back in India, so a lot of distance to be travelled for a weekend trip :-)

She is only 4 yrs younger to me but has been pampered a lot…less by mom dad and more by me. Never mind, you deserve it. Love ya. There is not much we have in common except that we love each other a lot – Unconditional. And that is enough for a lifetime.


You are a river boat when am a thrill ride
You are the catch when am a strike
You are the eye when am the sight
You are love when am life


We fight and argue on our points
As we are two different souls and minds


You are my blood and equally stubborn
But at every intersection
The heart feels the connection
I cherish the journey when you do the destination
You settle for awards when I celebrate nomination


Nothing can set us apart forever
No matter we were born different altogether
Our love is enough for a life
You love life when I make it smile

If I were a month, I'd be October
If I were a day of the week, I'd be a Friday evening
If I were a time of day, I'd be evening
If I were a planet, I'd be Venus.
If I were an animal, I'd be a squirrel
If I were a direction, I'd be upside
If I were a piece of furniture, I'd be a Tiffany Lamp
If I were a liquid, I'd be a strong coffee
If I were a gemstone, I'd be a diamond
If I were a tree, I'd be a redwood
If I were a tool, I'd be a pen
If I were a flower, I'd be a big carnatians
If I were a kind of weather, I'd be a cool sunny day
If I were a musical instrument, I'd be a flute
If I were a color, I'd be orange
If I were an emotion, I'd be happiness
If I were a fruit, I'd be a mango
If I were a sound, I'd be the wind chimes chiming
If I were an element, I'd be the water
If I were a car, I'd be a Lexus
If I were a food, I'd be a anything Italian
If I were a place, I'd be the beach
If I were a material, I'd be a flexible
If I were a taste, I'd be salty

If I were a body part, I'd be a heart
If I were a pair of shoes, I'd be a boots
If I were a facial expression, I'd be the smile

Rain Rain Go Away

!!Rain rain go away
  Come again another day
  Little Arthur wants to play!!





June is around the corner and it’s wet and cold. Ack!

I know I know….its the El-Nino’ winters and that it happens every 4-5 yrs and blah blah blah. But why in the world do department stores doesn’t remember that. The entire summer collection is full on bright in stores but no weather to wear those dresses and shoes. Huh! Since Nov, I am wearing a trench :-( 

Please God, cancel Mr. Sun’s vacation. It has already been long.

One of my friends updated her FB status, “Where are summers?” Well it’s out there, but only in stores. US economy is already suffering a hard blow. How would it recover if people don’t get out of homes and start spending? So my advice to all lovely stores….recall your summer collection and send in trench coats and rain jackets. Now c’mon, understand the buyers’ sentiments. That awesome summer collection makes us feel helpless.

Here goes my version of the nursery rhyme –

Rain, rain, I ask next when?
The weather report says, every now and then
Five months since Jan
I am still under my trench

Rain, rain don’t check on me
I am fine with you not in scene
White, yellow, blue and green
Let me live the summer dream
