A short get-away

That was relaxing; I love you, baby

Silent Taxi Drivers

When it's late at night, my transportation would be cabs.
Getting on, I said, "Hello, going to +(destination)"
The driver would start driving without acknowledgement.

"Turn left here".
The cab turns.
"Turn right here"
The cab turns.
"Stop here"
The cab stops.
"How much?"
He displays the total with the meter.
"Okay..."

It is somewhat uncomfortable.  I can dispense with smiles and "Yes, Sir".  Silence makes me feel like I'm driving the car with my own voice.  Is he blaming me for keeping me away from his bed?  Does he resent the need to serve?  Am I missing something?

Wedding banquets

Asked to death when I'm gonna get married..
Asked to death when I'm gonna get a flat..
Asked to death when I'm gonna do my renovations..
Asked to death when I'm gonna hold my banquet..

Seriously, do you enjoy grand banquets for its own sake?
Have you come across small cosy gatherings?
Do you find banquets a waste of time and money?

I do enjoy attending my friends' weddings,
but this is an age of one-upsmanship.
How the norms are spiraling out of control

I hope that when mine comes,
there is time for everyone.

Political correctness?

When facts are too far from the truth, is a white lie an outright lie?
