  • The Donkey & the Dating App

    There once was a groundhog named Gloria. She had an internet date over lunch at The Watering Hole, the hippest drinks establishment in town. Most animals had to wait in line to get a sip at the Hole. Her date was with a horse named Jack and they had met on Mating Call, an app where animals swipe up or down based on potential suitor’s photos. Cautiously, she opened the door of the bar and poked her black nose and snout into the establishment. She saw a giraffe, a cobra, a macaw, an opossum, and a donkey. No horse - she left.  There once was an emu named Emilia. She also had an internet date fro...OK0one door

    That went so?

    Travelling in an Indian train is almost equivalent to rocking back and forth on a swing when you have no actual desire to fly. Although on a swing you are down in the dumps metaphorically, here amongst the leftover food waiting to be thrown on the tracks, empty plastic wrappers and water bottles, and the spit-out paan, you are literally down in the dumps. Even after an entire day and two power naps later, I'm a little woozy like after a roller coaster ride. A part of me also feels I smell a little but mother keeps insisting it's olfactory hallucination.As I remove my laptop from my bag, a part...OK0one door
