Londoners

Scene 1

Location : The common bathroom of the 2nd floor of Commonwealth Hall ( which is where I live)
Event :

I get up in the morning and head towards the bathroom to get ready for uni.
As I walk in, I see a guy brushing his teeth.
He greets me with a nod. I reciprocate and I start brushing my teeth as well.
I'm done with brushing mine, but the dude is still brushing his teeth.
I ignore it because I thought that perhaps I was the one who was fast.
I'm now cleaning my face and I'm done with that too.
And yes, he is still brushing his teeth.
That lasted for at least 5 whole minutes.
What is it with his teeth? (?)


Scene 2

Location : Anywhere along Southampton Row towards Kingsway ( that's the route I take to LSE)
Event :

Without fail, there has to be siren every single day.
Be it a police siren, an ambulance siren or a fire truck's siren.
And the Brits think nothing of it and yet they claim to be a safe city. (?)

Scene 3

Location : Dining hall at my Commonwealth Hall
Event :

I was not feeling that well so I just sat at some random table.
And these 3 girls come and sit near me.
Their conversation goes something like this :

Girl 1 : You know, there's this guy who lives near my room.
Girl 2 : Yeah. What about him?
Girl 1 : So like, he's so smart that he has 8 degrees.
Girl 3 : Wow!! Is he a genius or just plain bored?
Girl 2 : Wonder where he gets all the money to pay for his tuition fees.
Girl 1 : (Giggles)
Girl 2 : Guess his parents can't wait to get rid of him! He's milking them dry to pay for his tuition!
Girls : (Giggles)




Till then guys and girls.

Humraaz in London.
