Train woes

I had planned not to rant about it -- but two days in a row is one 'two' much! 
Yesterday, somehow by some sheer unprecedented luck, I managed to get a place to rest my butt in a really crowded local train. Even so, I was far from being comfortably seated in the stuffy and hot compartment, what with the less fortunate crowd of standees constantly ( Read more... )

Reminds me of my travels in buses when I was in Hyderabad...kids, books, bags and baskets always used to drop on my lap, some without any foreword. Sorry for your bitter expereinces though.

Ah, intrepid foe of mothers who believe that dangling children are a universal free entry pass, valiant arch enemy of little unmannered poxes who in the garb of infancy hide their hideous selves and their nefarious designs which is nothing but dominion over reason itself, I commend thee. These blight-blot children (and may their tribe be enslaved) and their blot-blight mothers (on whom may good sense dawn) believe, and with good reason I fain admit, that they have prevailed. But inshallah it shall not be so. So long as there is even a spark of rebellion alive, it will be fanned and the flame shall burst forth from the ashes again. Victory shall be ours. Right shall be right because wrong is not right. Right ( ... )

Thank you for that commendation. I'm just glad there is another being that has joined my little army of rebels. I hope our cause never perishes...
Heaven forbid! What will happen to the population on this planet otherwise?!

* Right shall be right because wrong is not right. Right?
More profound words than these were never uttered... :-)
