Hmm. I will add my nugget to the list: Those MEN that proceed to take up all available room on the train, splaying their arms and legs and beer bellies everywhere as if they owned the damn thing, mopping the sweat mixed with cheap cologne bought at Archies off their brow with that hanky that their diligent patni handed to them that morning...whilst either a) talking loudly on their mobiles or b) fiddling with ringtones loudly on their mobiles.

I am sure very few of us would rightfully identify this poetess-in-oblivion who wrote many such verses and couplets as a personal way of registering, recording and dealing with her grief-stricken short life of forty odd years. She was born on 1st August 1932 in Mumbai to Ali Baksh and Iqbal Begum (renamed from Prabhawati Devi). Her father was an actor in Parsi theatre and also dabbled in Urdu poetry and occasionally gave music direction in Hindi movies. This girl, Mahjabeen Bano, was the youngest of her siblings and in the family mired in financial hardships she was literally forced to work in films. Her career st
