Shit I’ve Been Thinking About:

Sooooo…. I forgot some stuffs, so now we got more shit to write about (It’s times like this where I wish I didn’t forget my phone in Doha so I can write in my notes app)

So more on those horns I forgot to add that the busses here have really funny sounds, somewhere between a circus clown nose and a trumpet (just look it up its a treat). Also just in general the horns here just sound different (at least if they’re a Marati Suzuki or another Indian Brand). They sound kinda like a mosquito and honestly it makes sense cuz damn mosquitoes are everywhere here in winter (not in summer tho its actually too hot for them lol. Also it rains a lot so they can’t really fly with water everywhere).

They also have these signs that says shit like “A fast drive might be your last drive” and “speed thrill but kill” (there are more that are written in Hindi, but I’m actually illiterate, cuz i have the Hindi of a 4 year old with anxiety) and I honestly don’t know how to feel about them. Like we have those back in the states, but idk how to feel about those either cuz like true but also what’s with the fuckin slogan? Idk hope it works at least a lil tho.

Also I forgot to say that apparently to refuel a CNG car you need to completely evacuate the car? Idk why tho, I mean my dad said its cuz it might ‘splode but idk how safe it is to be like 2 meters away from the car sized explosion. Also what about you know driving that shit with tiny explosions happening all the time in the car??? Safety is questionable but hey nothing’s blown up yet (maybe my dad was pullin shit out his ass idk).

Also there are so many motorcycles here. I just noticed that from when I saw a guy without a helmet, which dude you’re gonna get your hair wet wtf (it was raining also he was on the highway. Like dude how you not dead?)

Anyway that reminded me that apparently Google Maps has a whole mode for motorcycles, and I only know this because me, my dad, and aunt and uncle had to go to a small town for some legal shit (I guess they didn’t have the budget to make an office in the big city that was made in like 20-25 years or sumthin) And apparently the Uber guy used the Motorcycle path because we went in like the most pothole ridden dirt roads ever, and after the Uber back used actual fuckin roads, which is when we realized what the other dude did.

Oh and another dude tried using the did kind of the same thing, but it was because he used the service roads that are on the side of the big roads (It was somewhere between a Boulevard and a Highway in its design) Anyway, the service roads are basically little dirt roads that off the side of the main road that can go either way instead of the one way each side like on the main road (cuz its divided in the middle and U-turn areas are kinda infrequent) And this guy used it to go to the roundabout but then it only worked for motorcycles because it was just a little ditch at the end that motorcycles could use, so we had to slowly back up until the first merge back into the main road (it took like 10 minutes I think idk it felt like forever and this was last summer so its a lil fuzzy) Anyway tl;dr make sure to check if you’re using the right mode of transportation in Google Maps and don’t use the service roads please.

Additional thoughts I guess? (They don’t really connect to the ones from the post but I wanna talk about it)

Also it actually rained today and I remembered why I love the rain so much. Seriously why did it barely rain on my college campus I’m slightly pissed wtf. And no the rain during monsoon season in summer India doesn’t count cuz that shit lasts like 10 seconds a day (no stop it I know what you’re bout to say stfu) Also either way I can’t hear the rain patter on the roof of my dorm cuz I ain’t on the top floor (thank god cuz it would be a nightmare to do laundry and shit) But I love the patter of the rain on the top of my ceiling back home and in long car rides its great. Also the patter on this train is great too.

Oh ye I also just went on a sleeper train and omg it definitely was an experience. The instant I got on the train I got blasted with the stink from the bathroom omg it was HORRID, and I had to go on the top because my grandparents had to go on the bottom and I actually couldn’t fit on the middle bunk cuz its a lil smaller, and so now I’m stuck on the top bunk which feels like its got negative head room, but hey at least I don’t have to wear my shoes up here lol (at least there is one perk thank god) Also fuck the company that last minute rearranged all of our seats now my cousin and uncles/aunts are stuck in another carriage, and it took like an hour to figure everything out once we got in the train. Oh and the train got delayed like 5 hours (definitely not how I wanted to spend my Christmas Morning. Although I did forget that it was Christmas today sooo…. oop)

Anyway wooo time to go listen to the Ithaca Saga (if you don’t know Epic the Musical go look it up)

Also I just realized I’m missing one earbud like wtf I already lost my phone can’t y’all let me have anything nice???? (At least I have the other one I swear if I loose anything else I’m actually gonna scream)

(Oh yeah a guy called me ma’am today that was nice. I mean it was really dark and rainy and I had my huge ass hoodie on but a win is a win lol)
