The role reversals in the family are getting funner. Brother planned all the transport and logistics details, while I fussed over waking up on time, packing enough food/supplies for emergencies etc. While parents watched.(ok, aai helped pack the picnic box and knead the puri dough, while I deep fried them!) the temple of wai!
