Attention dear passengers, Navyug Express 16688 which is bound from kashmir to kanyakumari has arrived on platform number 4

There is a rush, a weird sensation in my stomach. I can’t fumble it around nor untangle it but it tells me, something big is going to happen today.

I swing my bag back onto my shoulders which keeps falling down as I search for my carriage on this huge pan-indian train. I love to travel, watching people and their stories unfold with the place reminds me that things around us do matter and that everything has a significance because without influences, we would just be empty pots of clay in various shades of earth.

In the middle of the monologue, I find my carriage and now embark on another quest to find my allotted seat. It goes well and I reach my seat. I place my luggage above and make myself comfortable on my seat before dozing off.

I wake up to my bladder full which is the after effect of drinking too much Maaza in the hot summer. So I decide to visit the bathroom only for the train to stop when I'm emptying my bladder.

I sigh, hearing the sound of the passengers echoing and make up my mind to get slapped in the face by them on my way back to my seat. After going through a couple of elbow nudges and accidental slaps on the face with luggage as expected, I reach my seat which is occupied? by a girl looking out of the window, lost in time and space. “Excuse me? Woh mere seat hai(that’s my seat).” I say, pointing at her.

She looks up at me, confusion crowning her face as she then checks the seat number. “Sorry, woh left aur right gadbad hojati hain (I’m bad with my lefts and rights).” she replies in her Luckhnowi accent and my heart skips a beat. I bet she’s a poet.

She gets up from my seat and goes to sit on her own. “Aap baith jaiye(please sit).” she gestures with her hand and places her luggage above us before sitting down on my seat.

“Hi, Rahul!” I say, forwarding my hand for her to shake.

“Meena.” she says as her lips pull into a sweet smile and she tilts her head then lets go of my hand before awkwardly looking out of the window. I notice her ears and cheeks being graced with a coral pink shade and I can't help but bite back a smile.

“So, which station is this?” I ask her

“Agra, kyun? Did you miss your stop?” she asks, looking at me sceptical with her eyebrows irked.

“No no, I'm going to madurai.” I say and she raises her eyebrows. “I was just asking because I slept-” she doesn’t let me finish and interrupts me.

“madurai? I'm going to Tamil Nadu too!” She cuts me off but I brush it off because she looks genuinely excited about us going to the same state.

“After getting on at the delhi station” I finally complete my sentence as I sigh thinking that there's finally someone who talks either more than me or as much as me. “Why are you going to in Tamil nadu? I am visi-”

“I have a wedding to attend.” she cuts me off again but it doesn’t matter this time too because she’s too cute talking that it might be rather rude to interrupt this woman.

“Your cousin?” I ask, because if it were her sister then she’d be travelling with her family right now.

“Nah, it's my elder sister. But she is my cousin practically, anyways.” She says in such disappointment that it makes me want to crack a joke to make her smile but before she starts speaking again but this time in a much angry tone. “The guy is a complete idiot and doesn’t even know the difference between saunf and jeera. Like gobi jaisi toh shakal hai ladke ki(the groom looks like a cabbage).”

“God!” I laugh at her comparison of the guy with a cabbage.

“What? At Least i’m being honest! If you give me even a hundred million rupees, I won't marry his brother!” She says and it makes me laugh so hard that I need to stop breathing to avoid choking on air.

“Is his brother that bad?” I ask in amusement.

“I heard he’s some surgeon in Delhi who is never home cuz he's a travel freak.” Her description sounds a lot like me but who isn’t a doctor and traveller these days? And what are the possibilities of it being me? zero?

“Not bad” I comment and she looks at me like I stole a little kids candy.

“Not bad? I heard he’s so egoistic and boast about his achievements and changes girlfriends every week.” She complains and the more she says about the guy, the more I’m convinced that it isn’t me whom she’s talking about.

“Oh god!” I gasp dramatically trying to match her energy and it works because she giggles at my reaction. “I bet he’s a fuckboy who has no respect for women!” I add in, like fuel to the fire.

“Exactly, who would even marry him?”

“I wanna meet him now” I say and the look she gives me sends chills down my spine. God those kohl filled eyes are just heavenly!

“Why? He's such a kamina” shes says the borderline curse but it sounds so cute rolling off her lips as she huffs.

“Well, getting new girlfriends every week is a skill. I need to learn something from him.” I get smacked on my head by her hand upon saying this.

“You’re such a MC.” she says and i look at her in disbelief. Did she just curse at me?

“Machhar(mosquito)?” I ask her, even though I completely understood when she first said it but I tease her a little because her reactions are just so cute.

“What? Yeah, a machchar(mosquito)." She agrees with calling me a mosquito.

“Why am I a mosquito now?”

“I don’t know why I said that.” she says smiling and looking down, tearing her gaze away from me.

“Cute” I mumble, the words flowing past my lips but not reaching her ears.

She looks out the window as the sun sets down and reflects over the water as well as passes through the bridge over a river.

I stand up and she looks at me in surprise. “I’m just taking my bag, don't worry.” I chuckle.

“Not funny.” she says and goes back to her people watching. “Do you have snacks?”

I burst out laughing and she pouts and I swear I can see her eyes tear up.

“I just asked if you have something to eat.” she says, still pouting.

“You sound like a kid, asking if I have games on my phone.” I grab two packets of chips from my bag and zip it back up before sitting down on my seat.

“Well, everyone calls me a kid so nothing new.” she huffs.

“Here,don’t cry.” I say as I give her the chips packet and ruffle her open hair which makes her smile. But that smile disappears when she realises what I did and her reaction to it, and gets embarrassed over it as her cheeks turn red again.

“Don’t scold me but you look like a north indian.” She adds, tearing her packet of chips.

I sigh, “I get that a lot.”

“People are so stereotypical in India, it's tiring.” she sighs too, looking out of the window. What did she mean by that?

“That sounded personal.” i say because the amount of emotion she said in the sentence earlier was a bit too suspicious.

“Because not every poet has had heartbreak or is in love.” she says, with a hint of sadness that raises an eyebrow.

“You’re a poet?” I ask, curiosity getting the best of me.

“Hmm…” she pretends to not answer.

“Urdu?”

“Both, english and urdu”

“Can I ?”

“Sure. let me take out my notebook, wait”

‘I can even wait a century, if it’s for you.’ I hum in my mind.

“So” she flips the pages “jo apne hi nahi, unse dukh baant na, kisi khudgarz ki dil par dastak dena hota hain”

“Care to explain? My urdu is weak”

“So basically those who are not our family or people that care about us, sharing your emotional burden with them is equal to loving a narcissist”

“Damn. you did hit my heart with an arrow!”

“The cupid’s bow?”

“I- i mean-” i am speechless at the sudden flirtatious comment. She keeps her diary inside and pulls out another book which has urdu written on the front page. Maybe a poetry collection.

“Now if you excuse me, I need some personal space.” she asks politely and I cannot even deny her.

“Yeah sure sure, I won't disturb you.” God, this woman is doing things to me.

Time passes by and we chat, share food, walk around when the train stops for longer on a station until I get off the madurai station but a few days later I meet her at a wedding in Kodaikanal only to find out that the groom she was complaining about is my brother so technically I’m the brother whom she was calling a playboy.

What experience I would give as a statement to Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London? Statement fucking begins...

Summer after GCSEs, whole fam picks up and goes to India for 3 weeks

Listen we are hubristic. We literally go from Britain to Turkey to Delhi airport, to a different airport, to Banaras in a taxi, to Siliguri in a sleeper train, to Kalimpong in a car, back to Siliguri in a van, then to Kolkata in a sleeper bus, to Dhakha, Bangladesh by plane, to my grandparents place in Sylhet by car, then back to Dhakha, then back to Delhi, then back to Turkey and then back to Britain.

Tell me we didn't have at least one entity on our side.

None of us got ill. We had a 6 yr old with us. She didn't complain one bit. I'm 100% sure I blacked out for the majority of it. No other explanation than paranormal.

Those sales assistants in shops have to be fucking avatars of the web or something the way they fucking smile and you until you've blinked and you've bought 3 lehengas and she's like very good ma'am

I met my grandma's sister who looks exactly like my grandma, speaks the exact same way, acts the exact same way. It was so uncanny I could've sworn she just was her. Probably very normal explanation (genetics) but we can never be sure.

I made friends with a hand sized spider in a bathroom by singing "Mr spider, please don't kill me" in the tune of Mr sandman to it every day. It disappeared on the last day. (giving spiral)

I got myself an Indian accent. I am not Indian. (Most of my family is from Bangladesh, I was born there) I am not good at accents. I'm not sure how this transpired (could be some elaborate sociolinguistics explanation but I'm gonna go with paranormal)

We went on a massive family day out with cousins to a river near the mountains and we all had a great time until this little menace of a cousin literally got carried away by a current and we were terrified until one of my uncles literally grabbed him by the leg and yanked him out right before he would've gotten completely carried away. I don't think that's pure luck, personally.

My aunts staged an intervention for me about my posture (Not supernatural, Im just salty)

My dad successfully convinced some strangers who sat next to him on the plane that the reason me and my siblings spoke such good English was that we went to an English medium school. When pressed, he came up with the most elaborate story ever. He gave them a random school we went to, told them we were his boss' kids and he was taking us home, bullshitted a company and then when one of them went oh my dad is a higher up in that company, he says oh didn't he retire recently and the guy goes yeah he did! We are completely oblivious of this story, until he leans over and tells us not to call him dad for the rest of the plane journey. If that's not fucking Stranger behaviour then what is.

We get home, exhausted out of our minds and we realise we can't find our fucking front door key. We pile into the back garden and proceed to search through the entirety of our bags, trouser pockets, pockets within bags, we're all on the verge of tears, I'm catatonic, my little sister has picked up a stick and is slowly peeling it, my other sister is the only one actually looking and my dad is staring at the luggage, as if it had grown legs and was doing a little dance right before his eyes. We do find the keys after 20 minutes. We never mention this again. That's fucking paranormal shit right there don't even try to convince me otherwise. Michael the distortion was fucking with us.

Statement ends... (Although that's definitely not even half the shit that happened)

Watch Jonathan "Jarchivist" Sims crumble beneath my experiences. Hes so bamboozled that he forgets to try and discredit me. I bring him a packet of laddoos and some aachar.

#tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #jarchivist #rambles #statement begins #statement ends #indian jonathan sims #it wasnt scary per se #but it would be one of those statements you come out of afterwards like what the fuck #what the fuck just happened

The Toy

For the prompt Lady Catherine Buxton X Toys for @ladydarkey

Women like her were born women. Toys were for little girls.

Women like her were expected to make good marriages. Women like her maintained their looks, coiffed their hair, powdered their cheeks, and dressed themselves in fine gowns with lace petticoats and whalebone corsets underneath.

Women like her wedded for power and wielded it through their husbands.

Jenny had been sent to India with the same purpose, but she had shown no interest in any of her suitors so far.

Instead, she remained absorbed in trying to sing songs for Malli or teaching her to paint and other such nonsense.

Lady Catherine Buxton also did not understand her niece’s strange obsession with buying toys for the little jungle chit that they had brought back from Adilabad. What use did the girl have for toy elephants, lac dolls, and glass beads?

She, Catherine, had never played with these as a child herself. If anything, the sight of toys annoyed her. In fact, she had instructed her own children’s governesses to never give them even a rattle or a teddy bear. Her children, Gordon and Caroline, were the epitome of quality British parenting. And she was proud that all they had had in the way of playthings as children, had been her old books, models of trains, and replicas of great ships of old that had paved the way for the English flag to fly high around the world.

But she allowed her niece the indulgence of toys for Malli. Malli was after all, just a songbird. It was understood that soon after puberty, her pretty nightingale-like voice would darken to the dulcet tones of a woman. And then, she would have to be relegated to the role of a maidservant.

No way was she going to allow a young temptress to live in the palace with herself and her husband. Not when she knew that any fledgling beauty would catch his unfaithful eye.

In fact, she sometimes wondered if it would be better to return Malli to her tribe. After all, she was no longer as interesting or as exotic as she had been in the beginning. However, the knowledge that her tribe’s protector was out there somewhere, looking for her, had put a dent in this thought.

To give up the girl now, would be seen as an act of submission. And that was unthinkable. Even if she had to throw the wretched little brat to the streets, there was no way they were going to return her to her tribe of worthless brown buffoons.

The day her husband was knighted, she felt a great swell of pride in her heart. It was yet another pearl in her chest of treasures. She could hardly wait to return to England for the summer and gloat about it.

But before that, she was excited for the celebration she had planned here in Delhi. It would be an affair to remember for years to come. Her dress, of the heaviest brocade from Benares, bright as a drop of sunshine, would be the talk of the town for the entire season.

It was a blow to her like no other, thus, when her extravagant gala was put to an abrupt end by the appearance of the beastly tribal with his pack of wild animals. As she hurried inside to the safety of the rose garden in the inner chamber, she heard Malli call out for him.

“ANNA…..”

Her blood boiled! The little titch! How dare she?

Eventually, as the dust settled upon the arrival of her husband, she swore that this time, she would ensure that an example was made out of the so-called shepherd.

As she sat high up in her balcony, she felt something deep stir within herself; an almost childlike joy that she had forgotten even existed. She wanted to watch the toy before her break and bleed and beg.

It irked her that despite the bloody gashes peeking through the torn folds of his shirt, there was hardly any blood at his feet. And how dare he not scream?

She had a toy to break other toys, didn’t she?

It took her but a moment to grab the whip that she knew was never meant to be used against another human being. She had been told as much by the fashioner of the whip when he had presented it to her in London.

“This will look very nice on the wall in the governor’s study, right alongside the head of that magnificent antelope he shot last autumn. Of course, it is just a piece of decoration… can’t be used for real unless you want to use it to shred the meat for your beef casserole….”

The shepherd was hardly a man, was he? Why couldn’t she have the pleasure of seeing her dangerous, beautiful toy in action on something that wasn’t even human.

And that too, in the service of the crown!

“OFFICER,” She called out just as the mustachioed man raised his bullwhip again. “Try this one!” she smirked and threw the barbed bullwhip down. “Use it on the pillar first, officer! Let the wretch see how it will rip him!”

Giddy with pleasure, she sat down and watched as the thorns on the whip sank into the wood and tore out numerous chips and splinters from it.

Her mouth salivated as the new whip whistled through the air and landed with a sickening splatch into the skin and muscles of the beast.

Oh, she was finally enjoying herself. And to think, it was all because of the stupid girl she had been thinking of returning!

How could she have even thought such a thing! Thanks to the girl, she was watching a spectacle that she had never seen before. The beast could sing all he wanted! At some point, he would fall to his knees.

And there would be not just blood, but also screams.

Women like her were born women. Toys were for little girls.

Or so she had thought.

She had finally found a toy she liked very much, especially as it bled and quivered and cried out in torment.

It would bend eventually; she was sure of it. Or else, it would break.

Either way, she would relish it. What a wonderful way to celebrate her husband’s knighting!

Places to visit in Nainital in 2024.

You think of a perfect getaway to calm the view of Nainital, a beautiful hill station nestled into the folds of the Himalayas, a treasure house of experiences awaits you here. From pure, tranquil lakes to towering peaks, Nainital is a slice of heaven for nature lovers as much as for all adventure seekers. This guide will take you through must-visit places, all the essentials to know about travel, and why Nainital Willows should be your favorite choice for the best accommodation.

Why Visit Nainital?

Once nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, Nainital is well-endowed with stunning landscapes, lush greenery, and tranquil lakes. Imagine sipping tea on the balcony with Naini Lake down below, painted with orange and pink hues by the fading sun falling behind the mountains. It's no wonder that Nainital is popularly known as the Lake District of India.

Cultural Significance

New Delhi, the bustling capital of India, is a city of contrasts, combining rich history with modern developments. From the ancient architectural wonders of the Mughal Empire to the fast-paced lifestyle of its urban population, the city offers an exciting mix of experiences. To fully explore and enjoy all that New Delhi has to offer, having access to a reliable and comfortable means of transportation is essential. This is where car rental services come into play, providing travelers with the flexibility and convenience to navigate the city at their own pace.

In this blog, we will dive deep into the various aspects of car rental services in New Delhi, focusing on the advantages of choosing a trusted provider like New Delhi Car Rentals, types of cars available, rental packages, tips for choosing the right service, and why renting a car is the best option for exploring New Delhi and beyond.

Why Choose Car Rental Services in New Delhi? With a population of over 20 million, New Delhi is a city that’s constantly on the move. Public transportation is often overcrowded, and navigating the city’s streets can be daunting for newcomers due to the traffic and complex road networks. Here’s why car rental services in New Delhi, such as New Delhi Car Rentals, are the best option for both locals and tourists:

a. Convenience and Flexibility Renting a car offers unparalleled flexibility. Unlike public transport, which operates on fixed schedules, renting a car allows you to plan your own itinerary. Whether you're visiting India Gate, Humayun’s Tomb, or the bustling markets of Chandni Chowk, you can travel at your own pace without worrying about missing a bus or metro.

b. Comfort Car rental services ensure that you travel in comfort, especially when you're dealing with the sweltering heat of the Delhi summers or the chilly winters. With air-conditioned cars and spacious seating, you can relax while navigating the city.

c. Customization With New Delhi Car Rentals, you can choose from a variety of vehicles depending on your needs.

Whether you’re a solo traveler looking for a compact vehicle, a business executive needing a luxury car, or a large family requiring a spacious SUV, you can find the perfect car to suit your needs. Here are some of the car categories available:

a. Economy Cars Economy cars like hatchbacks are perfect for solo travelers or couples who are looking for an affordable and fuel-efficient option. These cars are great for navigating through the city traffic and are easy to park in tight spaces.

b. Sedans For a bit more comfort and space, sedans are an ideal choice. Sedans are well-suited for small families or business travelers who want more legroom and a smoother ride. New Delhi Car Rentals offers a range of sedans from popular brands like Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai.

c. SUVs If you're traveling with a larger group or plan to explore areas outside of New Delhi, renting an SUV is a great option. SUVs provide extra space for luggage and offer better performance on rugged terrains. Whether you're heading to Agra to see the Taj Mahal or taking a road trip to the mountains, an SUV ensures a comfortable ride.

d. Luxury Cars For those who want to travel in style, New Delhi Car Rentals offers a selection of luxury cars like BMWs, Mercedes-Benz, and Audis. These cars are perfect for business executives, high-end travelers, or anyone looking to make a statement during their trip.

e. Carry Necessary Documents Make sure you have all the necessary documents with you, including a valid driver’s license, identification, and the rental agreement. For international travelers, an International Driving Permit (IDP) might be required.
