I just want to wander off and be happy. At this time, I am going through a life renaissance thing where I revisit my whole life sequentially. All this list making is sort of like cartography for my life. I realise I know so little about the world now and the future looks like I'm going to know even less.

  • Eve-teasing. I think it's a social problem and we aren't doing enough to punish those who make it miserable for women to walk on the street. And if you lose nerve when you're harassed on the street and react excessively, you only make matters worse for yourself by firing the enthusiasm of the jerk.
  • Tardiness. People are always late and nobody will respect your time unless you obtain enough power to punish those who are late. In general, dinner at 8 means dinner at 10:30 if you're lucky. Else we blame it on the traffic at Haji Ali.

  • Crowds mass-public transit.
  • Lack of respect for personal space. Nobody really cares about standing a foot away from the cashier or the person in front of you in the queue.
  • As a matter of fact, people are always breaking lines and crashing queues.
  • Corruption to the point that people think it's their birthright.
