After a long day at work, I decided to take the bus home. It toook me 20 lazy minutes to get to my bus stop. Walking back home, simultaneously observing passers by.
Strangely this part of town, that I have recently moved into, has a host of ethnic groups inhabiting the place. So it is not a surprise to find coloured people around.
Today on the sidewalk a chinese couple, and what seemed like an African gay couple crossed each others path. Each couple looking at the other in "awk". "What are they wearing" must have been the general feeling.
To me each couple was eqaully wierd. One tiny,colourful,flowy and yellow. One loose,dreadlocky,junkie and brown.
To them either was odd and awkward. To me both of them were awkwardly dreesed. Relative awkwardness?
i know...it happens to every1 in a diverse society...wt u nd me do must be odd to thm too...bt thts the beauty of it all...u live along wid one another.....whn u get time go to auroville in pondi...they make it wrk everyday. nd so beautifully....i'd hav taken u...bt.....
