a reminder about joy

















i have never heard so many male people squeal and giggle and ay-yi-yi-yi with such feminine abandon.  my eyes flutter open from my four o'clock doze, and there hundreds of young indian men, leaping and splashing and carousing with unbridled joy.  rolling in the sand, climbing on top of each other and toppling into the water, posing for endless photos.  many of them had never been in the ocean before.  can you imagine, how incredible it must feel, seeing the ocean for the first time when you're like seventeen?  how perfect, how beautiful! (also, completely hilarious.)
