Oh god. Its really very strange to be delighted and disgusted at the same time. I think I like it.

And, well, think most of us can have empathy for this sort of situation 😂

Maanav, thanks for the lifelong trauma you have given me. (But you did give a warning so it was my fault)

Also this is how I read the essay 🫣. And big guffaws in between that scared my kid.

Now for the 1 hour bath I need.

Maanav. Thank you for your service. This Gajapati Kulapati-for-adults-perfection-of an essay is the stuff I didn’t know I needed at 1:35 am today but here I am, trying to chokeslam myself out of the laughing fit. Hmph.

No cringe here. Only empathy and total understanding - for the situation, the stomach and the North Indian in Bangalore. I've had a similar episode, but let's not get into it here :D

Hahaahaa, this was so good AND disgusting! Mridula is a really good friend - if I were in her place, I would have kicked you out of the car, no way I am letting a friend with wet pants sit in my car, lol.
