Idiot After Intermediate

 So with the 2nd wave of covid possibly halting the normal/ natural life cycle of us humans as we know, and this hovering speculation of another dreaded lockdown in the country, it's hard to be cheerful amid these dark prospects. I myself am fortunate enough to be occupied with my preparations but many of my friends may not. So for them and anyone in these categories there are certain recommendations (precisely 3) that they could follow to make this boring period a little less grim.    1.

But with FFA I lost my cycles to the extent that now this movie has a very deep infiltration in my overalls.

As they say, the grass is after all always greener on the other side especially if you don't have to do the mowing, this applies to our belly as well. being north Indian we love south Indian delights even if you do not, I do.

A)- you get a friend and B)- you get a mentor. So chacha fits this slot perfectly as he's sort of an expert on whatever we strive to know and he's the best friend you could get.
