Now, I know that we need more strict gun control in this country but my biggest problem is with the schools themselves. I come from a very small town (Jodhpur) in India and even there, my school gates would close when the school started and remain closed during school hours. [Read on…]

Him: Nooooo
Me: Why not?

Me 😯 (Dear Strawberry, forgive him for he knows not what he says.) How is it girlie?
