Went to bed at 3. Woke up at 5 feeling pretty refreshed until I was among the many commuters and I felt claustrophobic. It is definitely not a delightful feeling to be feel the butt cheeks of a stranger touching you every few seconds as our bodies sways to the rhythm of the train, or smelling the person's hair... To add to that multi-sensory unpleasant feeling, you are unable to scratch your nose to direct your attention to something else because your hands have no space to move!


So I closed my eyes and within seconds, sleep overwhelms me....

I love these quotes

"I have seen something like it happen in battle. A man was coming at me, I at him, to kill. Then came a sudden great gust of wind that wrapped out cloaks over our swords and almost over our eyes, so that we could do nothing to one another but must fight the wind itself. And that ridiculous contention, so foreign to the business we were on, set us both laughing, face to face - friends for a moment - and then at once enemies again and forever."

"This world is a great sculptor’s shop. We are the statues and there’s a rumor going around the shop that some of us are someday going to come to life."
— C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity)
