Mate, you need to do what everyome else does on the morning commute: read. That will stop all this identity crisis palaver. (Might I suggest Dave Eggers` A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.)

Nice work, Asif. Reminded me of Allen Ginsberg`s ``Howl`` (an excerpt is available for readers at the website of the Academy of American Poets; www.poets.org)

Incidentally, which end of the commute is home, Paddington or Slough? Or perhaps the commute itself, that indefinite land between borders and tribes, moving always moving.

Regards,

Aamir
