A Geography Lesson

 Hyderabad


I discovered that my knowledge of the geography of India is worse than I imagined.
I was chatting online with my friend, Julia, a few nights ago about our joint storyline, and I put my character in Goa. At the time, I was sure the city was in the North West of the state; to my shock, I found out Goa is near Kerala, in the South West.
A few weeks earlier I made another discovery, this time about the city of Hyderabad; I also thought the city was in the NW of India, but it is in the central area of the country. 
In my defense, I was thinking of the map I grew up with, which was drawn before the partition in 1947. The city is still called Hyderabad; only the one I thought about is now in Pakistan. 

How about this for irony, India's Prime Minister  Indira Gandhi was born in the country of her great enemy - Pakistan - she is the daughter of the man considered to be one of the founding fathers of Pakistan, Pandit Nehru.

 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..
