Sometimes if the neighbours get overbearing, she'll do a daytrip out of the country. If she craves donuts, she'll visit the mall in Malaysia where the coffeeshop overlooks a busy street with ceaseless pedestrian and two-wheeler traffic, and she'll watch the cobbler across the road, in his tiny blue hovel, shoes displayed neatly around him, behind him on the wall and above him on the ledge of his little perch. And she'll think about all her shoes back in Singapore that need mending.
On this particular occasion, the brash kid decided that the time was ripe to take a few risks. Low airfares from her favourite budget airline only enabled her planning. And that was how it was that in the middle of March, she packed some clothes and some papers into a small grey cabin bag and, seven-to-eight hours later, landed on Mumbai's shores on a Friday evening.
