It was getting late and I had to leave to catch my bus. Why was it so important to wear a tie? The occasion calls for it. It was not every day that a person who you have held at the highest moral standards and have looked up to all your life, dies.

"It's no use checking your weather app before stepping outside. It is never right.", your mother would say while checking the aforementioned offending app before going out. Now, it was a habit that was drilled into you since you were a child. That and the fact that "spiced South Indian lentil soup is the cure for everything". You look out the window and notice the black ominous clouds, pregnant with unshed rain, as if there will be a thunderstorm in the very near future, which to be honest was a rarity in year 2045.
