Why are these programs absent (taken for granted) in the guy psyche ? Not because I am…

We ate, we hiked, we soaked ourselves in the lake water, we followed the lake trail, we chatted (a lot!), we played cards, we shared experiences, we dare deviled the trek to duke’s nose and came back alive…

On a family reunion sunday afternoon, after hogging tons of amazing vegetarian food (kheer!), we sat in front of the tv, watching ‘kati patang’ anticipating siesta.
