Two thousand rupee notes.

When the shopkeeper didn’t have change for a ₹2000 note, I asked if he could at least find two ₹1000 notes, and everyone at the shop were surprised and then laughed.

A clever joke that briefly made them question reality and memory at once.

Previously

Three crows to caw. Sometimes, that sweet singing of a koel is not sweet but annoying. So much so that I want three crows to caw right in her face. Not the koel’s fault
