just a few words from the wise.

"Sternly, remorselessly, fate guides each of us; only at the beginning, when we're absorbed in details, in all sorts of nonsense, in ourselves, are we unaware of its harsh hand." -Ivan Turgenev

I already shared this on FB, but its just too perfect to leave out on here as well.

' It is not easy to move through the world alone, and it is never easy as a woman...Keep money you can get to, an exit behind you, and some language at your fingertips...know how to strike a proud pose, curse like a sailor, kick like a mule, and scream your brothers name, though he may be three thousand miles away. At times I wonder that I am still alive.'
-Mary Morris

Hmm..that all sounds a bit too familiar.

too many things to do today, like lay in my bed because I nearly fainted from dehydration yesterday. so I'm just taking it easy. Calcutta is kicking my ass so far, and there are plenty of stories soon to come.

Stay tuned.
