in the train (6:50pm 30 july 2006)

with nafisa, handed her anne frank to read and have ctach-22 (joseph heller) with myself.

the scenario.
the trains moving north from where i sit. my right side neighbours the window. it is raining outside so the window's shut.
general comparment therefore the window doesn't shut completely. i can feel this thin line of cold air constantly pushing on my right arm skin.

nafisa's listening to music as she sits opposite of me and is reading the book. she seems to have read quite a few pages of it and i havnt gotten anywhere beyond the first page of the first chapter as yet.

i am restless to tell u abt this man in the cmptmnt who got on from lonavala station. he's talking to himself loudly and singing really odd songs pretty loudly. the door or the carriage is open and he's standing there doing his act. all runs through my head is tht he myt jump off or smthn. very interesting.

he's also screaming at non-existent people. 'kya re?' and lots more of marathi. basically just asking questions to the non-existing. the seat beside me is empty, i'm afraid he'll sit next to me...

i can really laugh at myself right now for thinking that way. but im still scared too. haha (7:00pm)

oh now i just realised. he's singing songs frm 'tere naam'. i didn;t know that people actually lost it after watchin tht silly movie. haha

well, tere naam had dat effect on a lotta ppl. earlier it was easy 2 identify em; they wre d ones with long hair,parted in d middle n they walked lyk they had a pillow under each armpit. later, wen they wen shop keepers refused 2 sell em shampoo, they became a lil more discreet.
