Generosity
There was just 1 seat vacant & it is by the window. The girl sitting next & by the aisle, offered me the window seat. She is generous, I thought. The girl was pretty ok in looks. Not pretty, ok. She wore a cozy brownish over coat, covering from the head. It shud be waterproof as well.
The vehicle moved. I felt that my left shoulder is feeling wet. There was some water, trickling thro’ the gaps of the roof. “Damn you water!”, I smirked within. The vehicle now moved faster. There were water droplets that lashed thro’ the window. It came on & on. It left my left hand, donning a full-hand shirt, fully wet now. Oh! Yeh. It was raining.
I never looked at the girl, after.

The girl, in spite of being fully protected had forced a guy, in summer cottons, to drench himself. I don’t think any guy wud do this. Even if the girl isn’t pretty or pretty ok!

Just because one girl did this, doesn't mean all girls will do this & jus because one guy wouldn't this, doesn't mean none of the guys will do it :P

well, well, the last time i checked generosity was a 'human trait' and had nothing to do with the X and Y chromosomes. If you're gonna look at everything from a girl vs guy perspective, you'll have a million things to blog about but you'll never grow up!
and btw, you realized it was raining only after your left hand, donning a full-hand shirt got fully wet? and you blame the girl! :D

If associating 'human traits' with “gender” offers newer meanings & ideas to blog, then its a good thing. When ppl cud write books abt planets & gender, why can't I write just a post?
Btw, I don't want to be a fully-blown-grown-up. I prefer, growing day-by-day. I'm infact 164 cm tall & there is lot of scope. :)
> you realized it was raining only after your left hand, donning a full-hand shirt got fully wet?
Thats the narrative style, I chose for the story telling. ;) Doesn't always mean in exact chronological order.
