I was having a most awful day and it was raining and I was wearing my MOST inefficient raincoat and no umbrella and clothes not warm enough (being Indian, I never get used to warm clothing as non-accessory material), when I met a woman on the subway who has lived in England (that’s how she speaks English) for seven years and she smiled at me and she started chatting me up and she went on to tell me I was VERY BEAUTIFUL.

And nothing could have prepared my sorry scruffy inelegant ass for this day.

I had the pleasure of walking around respecting the ancestors in a looong endless graveyard on a bright spring day while hiking in Changshu, Jiangsu province. Some of the personal touches on the graves were so dratted interesting.
