I woke up at 5.30 in the morning, without an alarm clock. Since I’m awake, I might as well do something productive. So I listed down what I wanted to do, booted up my computer and started arranging my work place. Then I found a bill which I needed to pay. So I went online [...]
Someone on the train chose a baby’s cries as a ring tone on her phone. Her phone rang which made everyone turned their attention to her, only to realise she’s pregnant. Someone then stood up to offer her a seat. She didn’t even thank him and seem to think it’s her right. And her crying [...]
