Cityscapes 2

Every time I see a white person on the road, I have this incredible urge to walk up to him and ask if he resents the ending of apartheid, of having to feel like an equal where he was earlier a king.

I saw a sign behind the loo in the office which said 'Please flush the toilet after use'. Now that sort of freaked me out, because I thought that it was only Indians who forgot to flush. This only strengthens my faith that we are all the same, from India to South Africa, and all countries in-between.

I have also realised that I have very unfashionable winter clothes. I somehow managed the winter in London, using borrowed clothes from Karrie, and in Delhi I pretended that I didnt exist everytime a woman in a swish winter-set walked past, but Johannesburg has me feeling very small and inadequately dressed.
