On shampoo and poo

The list with no heading:
1. Life is unfair
2. Pigeons poop in a weird way - how else do they manage to spread it all over in the middle of huge windows
3. You should go to the parlour for a hairwash when your shampoo gets over (instead of buying new shampoo of course)

I'm serious, my friend does that. And I'm a great friend, so I must let the whole world know about her antiques.

To be a great friend, I also use her not-nice cupcake-smelling sanitiser so she can use my nice smelling one. The things one does for friendship.

Just kidding.

But I'm serious too. Friendship guys, that's the real thing.

Yeh sab pyaar-vyaar hota rehta hai. It isn't always constant. Maybe you stay in touch with that person, maybe you don't. Maybe you have more bad memories than good, maybe you don't know where you'll stand anymore. The thing with friendship though, is that it doesn't go anywhere. If you're just friends with someone, you probably will remain for the rest of your life.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not against love. Love between two people is like a rollercoaster inside a river with waterfalls on the way. You pick up speed, you enjoy the wind. You fall, you crash, you go with the flow. You keep moving and it's crazy, ecstatic and scary at the same time.

But I love my friends and family. It's great how I'm surrounded with so much positivity and fun. I enjoy meeting people and cracking awfully good jokes to watch them cringe yet secretly smile. And I think that if we spend every day as Valentine's Day is meant to be spent and spread love and happiness to all the ones we feel for, we'd all have smiles more often.

Smiles that you have when you've had a really good poo.
And smiles that you don't have when you're in the middle of a shower and find out that you've run out of shampoo.

Have a good Valentine's everyone,
Kanksha <3

What should you do?

Very recently, a friend of mine got inappropriately touched by a man in the metro. It's just plain disappointing how these incidents keep happening.

I know that the same has happened to someone I know in a crowded train as well and the girl was too confused to say anything at that point. She regretted not doing anything about it once she had time to think but by then, of course, it was too late.

But that is probably why, when I went to Lamington road today and through a couple of lanes, I came back to the main road quite immediately because the lack of women made me feel unsafe.

This post isn't to generalize how men are, or blame the entire male population for the same. I think what is important right now, except educating men, is what women should do when they're caught in these situations unaware.

Don't be embarrassed, just take hold of his hand and scream.

You'll probably feel extremely weird and shy, maybe even disgusted(you shouldn't), but don't let any of that stop you from exposing him for what he did.

Basically don't just let it go because you don't deserve that.

Short post, but I felt like it had to be said.
