Despite how harsh this city can be, I have great faith in humanity here.
And this I owe to the kind old auto driver that rang the bells of at least five houses until he found the one I was supposed to go to, saying "dont worry, I'm here" and shooing away strange men; the chemist aunty that grabbed my hand on my way out and gave me her number - and as though she expected it - took my frantic 11pm call about my latest fear of unprescribed medication; and the flower shop man that made a beautiful bouquet of yellow and pink daisies for me when I only asked and paid for two.
Tell me they have ulterior motives, and maybe they do, but today, for whatever it is worth, they made me feel like I have a home in a place that keeps trying to tell me that I have overstayed my welcome.
