This past weekend, I had to drive Sarath to his lab like every weekend. It is a 45 min drive one way. There is public transport available, but it takes 1.5 hrs to get there. So, to save him time, we usually drive him there and back. On good days, it takes us 1.5 hours…

Conversations
Last weekend I applied a hair dye on my hair. The one I usually use was not available and I bought another one to try. I just did not like it at all. While I was waiting for it to dry, I was doing some stuff around the kitchen and was talking to Sarath. I…
