Kehna Hai Kya

Today is a day that I can't even begin to explain, not even in English, the language I know best and that knows me best. Words hold no comfort, not even as I write them out.
Asking me what I'm wearing would not be funny right now.
Big news: I was probably a bit late in finding this out- the arcade in Giant Mall has closed down, no more offering some tension-releasing for this girl.

Because I fail you, and I fail myself in English, I turn to a language that is soothing in it's own way.
