Ram-E-Swaram

-


The train journey to Rameswaram, the temple town of India began on the 2nd day of 2020. While not much happened when we boarded at night but a book reading seshh and a not-so-interesting fellow cat calling modestly. 
When I got up the next day at half past seven in the morning, I was in for a treat.
The Pamban bridge is iconic and our Express train was just about to take us to the beautiful Pamban island, across the Palk strait, leading us into an experience I always longed for.
For a person from Bombay and a lover of the Bandra-worli sea link, this surely isn't very fascinating.(Not bragging okay!?)
But the train took this water baby, who has probably lived off her entire life watching the Arabian sea to an escapade she never preempted!
BAMMMM!


At Rameswaram, I earned a family, ate 4 idlis for Rs 20 every day, and handled Tamil people without my parents constant assistance. 
Talking about Tamil people, I clearly remember the sight when I got down at the Rameswaram railway station. Whattta sight boy!
It was a typical place, but what seemed quite unusual was a 50 something man sitting on a horse cart staring at the station with expectant eyes.
I clicked a picture of this man! A horse cart is definitely an unusual sight for a person from Bombay (Again, Not bragging okay!?)


This man I casually took a picture of turned out to be the only horse cart rider of Rameswaram. He is one of the survivors of the Dhanushkodi cyclone and definitely somebody you should read more about!

AMMIIZZIINNGG!

She chugs pints of beer, She grooves to Bollywood numbers in cheap clubs, She’s nothing but bare bones and skin with a huge glowing heart, She often likes to keep herself and her lighter a little too “high” She holds each guy close, but not too close enough that they get to see her crazy and oh-so-dazy. She likes all things fried and fancy, With painted nails and an infinity band on her ring finger, she tries hard to conquer it all.  She’s all things you and me, but just miles away from being you and me.

Hotel Bills: Why The Misogyny?

Dressed in a bright orange bodycon dress, with subtle makeup, my hair all over the place but in a sexy way, not-so-large hoops, and the perfect gold studded heels, I looked my best.  This was a lowkey family dinner to celebrate a very special someone's birthday. We chose a pan Asian restaurant and were seated as couples across from each other.  My boyfriend called for a screwdriver, Aunty and I had pina coladas on our mind and Uncle called for rum. The drinks were in various colours and the waiter was a little too confused. He was under the assumption that the boys won’t call for a yellow colour screw driver drink, nor would they drink pina coladas. In a confused state, he served the drinks. Through the course of the dinner, we exchanged smiles, he asked me several questions, took my feedback, and clicked a few pictures for us. It was time to pay the cheque and leave. Our very naive waiter slid the bill next to Uncle and just casually walked away. Sexism exists, yes but why ignore
